Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the wok pan from its packaging. Dispose of all packaging materials responsibly.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the pan thoroughly with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Rinse well and dry completely.
3. Seasoning (Optional but Recommended): For enhanced non-stick performance and longevity, lightly coat the interior cooking surface with a small amount of cooking oil (e.g., vegetable oil). Heat the pan over low heat for 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat and wipe off any excess oil with a paper towel.

Operating Instructions

General Cooking Guidelines

• Heat Source: Use on gas or smooth surface hobs. Not suitable for induction hobs.
• Temperature Control: The Thermo-Signal indicator will turn solid red when the pan has reached the optimal temperature for cooking. Avoid overheating an empty pan.
• Utensils: Use wooden, silicone, or plastic utensils to protect the non-stick coating. Avoid metal utensils that can scratch the surface.
• Oil/Fat: Always use a small amount of cooking oil or fat when cooking to prevent food from sticking and to protect the coating.
• Cooking Methods: Ideal for stir-frying, sautéing, frying, roasting, and grilling.

Maintenance

Cleaning

• Cool Down: Always allow the pan to cool completely before washing to prevent warping.
• Hand Washing: Wash with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or steel wool, as these can damage the non-stick coating.
• Dishwasher Safe: The pan is dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended for prolonged non-stick performance.
• Drying: Dry thoroughly after washing to prevent water spots.

Storage

• Store the pan in a way that prevents scratching of the non-stick surface. If stacking, place a soft cloth or pan protector between pans.

Troubleshooting

• Food Sticking: Ensure you are using a small amount of oil or fat. Check if the pan is sufficiently preheated (Thermo-Signal indicator solid red). Avoid cooking at excessively high temperatures for prolonged periods.
• Scratches on Coating: Always use non-metal utensils (wood, silicone, plastic). Avoid cutting food directly in the pan.
• Pan Warping: Always allow the pan to cool down naturally before washing. Do not plunge a hot pan into cold water.
• Uneven Heating: Ensure the pan is centered on the heat source. The diffusion base is designed for even heat distribution on compatible hobs.
