7. With a wooden stick (e.g. shashlik spit or wooden cooking
spoon) you can test whether the correct temperature has
been reached. When this is inserted into the oil, small air
bubbles should rise up along the wooden stick. Alterna-
tively, you can place a piece of the food to be fried into
the hot oil.
8. Place the pieces of meat on the fondue forks and then
dip them into the oil. Depending on the size of the meat
pieces, the cooking process takes between 4 and 7 min-
utes, i.e. the smaller the pieces of meat or other food are,
the faster they are cooked.
9. Adjust the temperature with the regulator such that the oil
simmers.
The Wok
Instructions for use
Cooking with a wok originated in Asian cuisine, the main
feature of which is the cooking of food in "bite size" portions.
• We advise therefore that you cut all ingredients which
you will need for a wok dish into suitable sized pieces
(cubes / sticks / strips). The cooking time will thus be dras-
tically reduced and your food will retain its fresh flavour.
• Make sure that only small quantities of food (e.g. meat)
are processed during frying.
• Use the grid for draining and keeping the finished food.
Continue to boil or fry in portion for portion.
• Adjust the temperature of the hotplate to suit the food
and the type of fat/oil used.
• When working with the wok, do not use sharp or pointed
objects. Wooden utensils work best.
NOTE:
You can also use the wok on other electrical stove plates
instead of on the heating base. It is not however suitable
for induction hotplates.
Assembling the glass lid
The supplied handle for the glass lid is prefitted. To attach
the handle to the glass lid, proceed as follows:
1. Unscrew the knob and ring from the screw. Leave the
silicone seal and washer on the screw.
2. Place the knob and ring on top of one another onto an
even surface.
3. Place the lid onto it upside down.
4. Insert the pre-assembled screw with the silicone seal and
washer through the lid from inside.
5. Tighten the knob by hand.
Initial use of the wok
Select a suitable non-slip location for your wok.
1. Place the wok onto the heating base.
2. Turn the thermostat to MIN.
3. Only connect the machine to a properly installed 230 V,
50 Hz safety socket.
Cooking with the Wok
4. Place some oil or stock into the wok.
5. Turn the temperature control to the highest level and
preheat the wok for a few minutes.
6. Add the diced ingredients in accordance with the recipe.
7. Cook these while stirring or turning constantly.
8. If the liquid in the wok evaporates too much and the
ingredients start to "roast", add some liquid.
Serve the dish as soon as it is ready.
Steaming with the Wok
4. Pour 2-3 cups of water into the wok and place the grid on
it.
5. Put the ingredients on the grid and put the cover on.
6. Turn the wok to the maximum to heat it up quickly.
7. Then set the required temperature. If you are unsure
which setting to choose, begin with a low temperature
setting and then increase the temperature gradually.
NOTE:
When steaming add some water if necessary.

Switching Off

If you would like to stop the cooking process, turn the tem-
perature control to the minimum setting (MIN) and remove
the mains plug from the socket.
• Allow the frying oil a considerable time to cool down.
Before continuing to use the full frying pot, please ensure
that it is no longer at a dangerous temperature.
• Allow the wok to cool.
