1. For Models P24WK and PC484WK, check that you have these
items:
• One Wok Pan with Lid and Trivet.
2. The first time the Wok Pan is used, clean the surface thoroughly with
hot soapy water. The initial cleaning is needed to remove the
protective oil coating. Dry thoroughly.
3. Apply a light coat of vegetable oil (do not use corn or olive oil) to the
entire inside and outside surface with a paper towel.
4. Heat the Wok Pan on a medium setting until cooking surface turns
golden brown. Cool wok.
5. Repeat this procedure several times. This seasoning seals the
pores of the metal, keeps food from sticking, and prevents the Wok
from rusting.
6. Wipe off excess oil before using or storing the Wok Pan. Do not
scour because scouring will remove seasoning.
