Frequently Asked Questions - KH 1099 SILVERCREST

Why do foods stick to the wok?

If foods stick, it is often due to poor seasoning or insufficient temperature. To remedy this, heat the wok with three tablespoons of salt and a wooden spatula to remove impurities, then wipe it with a cloth. Then, clean it only with hot water without detergent and use a little more heat.

What to do if the oil smokes during cooking?

Smoking oil indicates it is too hot. Pour it into a heat-resistant container, let it cool and discard it. Let the wok cool down, then rinse it with hot water and wipe it. Start again with fresh oil and a more moderate temperature.

How to avoid overcooked and soft vegetables?

For crunchy vegetables, cook them in small batches while stirring constantly until they are al dente. If your vegetables are still raw, you can cook them again in the same way.

Vegetables remain raw, what to do?

If vegetables are still raw after cooking, cut them into small dice and cook them again in small batches with quick cooking while stirring constantly until they are al dente.

How to clean the wok after use?

Always unplug the appliance and let it cool down. Remove food residues with the wooden spoon. Wash the wok with hot water and a mild detergent and a non-abrasive sponge. Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads as they will damage the non-stick coating. Clean the heating base with a damp sponge; never immerse it in water.

Can I immerse the heating base in water?

No, never immerse the heating base in water or any other liquid. This could cause an electric shock and irreparably damage the appliance. Clean it only with a damp cloth.

What to do if the appliance does not work?

First, check that the power cable is properly connected to the base and to a wall outlet. Make sure the outlet is live by testing another device. If the problem persists, unplug the appliance, let the base cool down, then plug it back in. If nothing changes, contact customer service.

What is the maximum amount of food I can cook?

The maximum capacity for liquids is 1.5 liters. Do not exceed this amount to avoid spillovers. For solid foods, do not fill the wok to the brim; leave space for stirring.

Can I use metal utensils in the wok?

No, only use wooden or non-metallic utensils. Metal utensils scratch the non-stick coating and make it unusable. The wok comes with suitable wooden spatulas and a spoon.

How to use the wok to keep food warm?

Place the wok with food on the heating base set to level 1 for liquid foods or level 2 for solid foods. Stir occasionally and add a little water if necessary to prevent the food from burning or drying out. Do not leave unattended.

• Plastic bags can be deadly. To avoid the risk of fatalities through suffocation, keep plastic bags out of the reach of children.
• Never put other kitchen implements (e.g. cooking pans) onto the thermo-plinth in place of the Wok. Other cooking pans could tip during use, as the thermo-plinth is designed for acceptance of the supplied cooking implement only.

Always keep safety in mind:

• Immediately remove the electrical plug from the socket in risk situations.

• Never use the appliance for purposes other than those for which it was intended.

• ALWAYS remove the power cable from the power socket and the appliance when the Wok is not in use, when removing components and before cleaning it.

To avoid the risk of property damage:

• Do not use the Wok as a cooking implement on other heat sources (e.g. on hotplates), it could be irreparably damaged.
• Use only wooden implements for stirring and turning foods in the Wok; if you use metal implements the anti-stick coating on the Wok will be scratched and become unusable.
• Do not use the Wok for cutting or slicing ingredients that might be in it. If you do, the anti-stick coating on the Wok will be scratched and become unusable.

Risk of Burns!

• During use and when serving, grasp the Electrical Wok and the glass lid with the handles only, as both parts can become very hot. For the sake of safety, always use an oven cloth as well.
• Hot steam can escape when lifting the lid! Never lean closely over the Wok when lifting the lid!
• Do not use the Wok to cook soup! The Wok is too flat for this, the soup could very quickly boil over!

3 and impair their effectiveness!

Mounting the lid handle

1. Place the lid handle ① onto the broad insulating wafer so that the rectangular retainer protudes into the lid handle ①.
2. From above, lay the broad insulating wafer with the lid handle 1 on the glass lid 2, so that the holes lie one above the other.
3. Firstly, place the metallic washers over the screws. Then place the rubber washers onto the screws so that the broad sides lie flat against the metallic washers.
4. From below, insert the screws with both washers through the holes and then screw them tight with a cross-head screwdriver.

Commissioning

On the first usage, the generation of light smoke and a slight smell can occur, this is due to production residues. This is completely normal and is not dangerous. Provide for sufficient ventilation, for example, open a window.

Heat levels

The various heat levels of the temperature regulator 8 are guideline values:

Heating levels 1-2: For keeping foods warm.

Heating levels 3-4: For braising and boiling.

Heating level 5: For roasting.

Important!

2. Insert the power cable ⑤ into a wall power socket.
3. Now place the Wok ③ onto the thermo plinth ⑦.
4. Adjust the temperature regulator 8 to the desired heating level. The control lamp 9 glows.

Ensure that the Wok 3 stands safely and level on the thermo-plinth 7.

Important!

Do not overfill the Wok 8! The maximum volume (fluids) amounts to 1.5 l.

Important!

NEVER lay aluminium foil or other materials between the thermo-plinth 7 and the Wok 3, if you do, irreparable damage may be caused to the Electrical Wok. Additionally, there would be an increased risk of a fire!

1. Then place the desired ingredients into the Wok 3 If necessary, add some oil or fat into the Wok 3
2. Attach the drip grill 10 into the Wok 3, which is used to collect items that are quickly cooked in the Wok 3, whilst other items, those requiring a somewhat longer cooking time, remain in the Wok 3.
3. For steaming and boiling - depending on the recipe being used - place the glass lid 2 onto the Wok 3.

Using the Wok for keeping food warm

If you wish to use the Wok 3 for serving and keeping food warm ...

1. Remove the Wok 3 from the thermo plinth 7 and place it on a heat-resistant surface (e.g. a switched-off and fully cooled down hot plate).
2. Remove the power cable 5 first from the wall socket and then from the thermo-plinth 7.
3. Place the thermo-plinth at the desired location. Ensure that the surface at the location is level, firm and heat-resistant.
4. Insert the power cable ⑤ first back into the thermoplinth ⑦ and then into a wall socket.

5. Place the Wok 3 with the food to be kept warm onto the thermo-plinth 7.

6. Turn the temperature regulator 8 to heating level 1 for keeping liquid foods warm. Turn the temperature regulator 8 to heating level 2 for keeping solid foods warm. Occasionally stir solid foods while they are being kept warm and mix a small amount of water into them to avoid a possible spoiling or burning of the food.

Cleaning and care

Important!

First of all, ALWAYS remove the power cable ⑤ from the wall socket before cleaning the Electrical Wok and its components! Otherwise, there is the great risk of receiving an electric shock!

Side dish: Fruit salad

Items to be cooked keep sticking to the wok	The oil is smoking	The vegetables are too soft and overcooked
Heat up the wok, at the same time use three tablespoons of salt and the spatula to loosen all impurities. Then wipe the wok out with a towel. From then on clean it only with hot water, do not use any more cleaners. Start again with somewhat more heat.	Smoking oil is not beneficial to health: Pour the oil into a heat resistant container to cool down and then dispose of it. Cool the overheated wok with warm water, pour the water off then wipe the wok out. Start again with fresh oil.	Dice some fresh vegetables and blend them in still raw.
The vegetables are still raw	The cooked dish is too spicy	The cooked dish tastes too insipid
Re-cook the vegetables, ideally in small portions and with constant stirring, until they are al dente.	Blend in small cubes of pine- apple, mango or tomato and attenuate with coconut milk or use smoothly stirred low-fat yoghurt. Do not re-heat the cooked dish.	Add in soya sauce, scraped ginger, pressed garlic, chopped herbs and sesame oil or another seasoning oil.
The cooked dish is too dry	Too much sauce has been created	There is too little sauce
Add coconut milk, stock or soya sauce until sufficient sauce is created.	Lift the firm ingredients from the wok, allow the sauce to boil down quickly and under high heat, mix the ingredients back in and make another taste check.	Mix in 100-200 g soyabean shoots or boil up a small-cubed potato and carrot, as well as 100 g frozen peas, then blend them in. Make a taste check.
