Operation

WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard.
Keep water and other liquids from entering the inside of the unit. Liquid inside the unit could cause an electrical shock.
If liquid spills or boils over onto the unit, immediately unplug the unit and remove cookware. Wipe up any liquid with a padded cloth.

CAUTION: Burn Hazard.
Do not touch cookware, heating surface, food, or liquid while heating.
Hot food and liquids can burn skin. Induction heating surfaces heat rapidly. Use caution when adding food to pre-heated oil, liquid, or other food already in the cookware.

1. Place the included 14” carbon steel wok in the center of the heating surface.
2. Place oil or food in the wok.
   NOTICE : Do not heat empty cookware. Because of the speed and efficiency of the induction range, cookware can quickly overheat and be damaged.
   NOTICE : Do not drop cooking utensils or other objects onto the cooking surface. The strong, non-porous surface can break. The warranty does not cover this type of abuse.

Press the ON/OFF button. The Power LED will illuminate. The Induction Wok will default to power level 50, or the power level setting the last time the wok was used.
