Before You Use Your Wok; Using Your Wok - Viking VGWT241T Use & Care Manual

Before You Use Your Wok

All products are wiped clean with solvents at the factory to
remove any visible signs of dirt, oil and grease which may have remained
from the manufacturing process. Before starting to cook, clean the wok
thoroughly with hot, soapy water.
Wok Pan w/Lid
Remove all packaging materials and temporary labels from the
wok. Clean thoroughly with hot soapy water and dry thoroughly. Apply
a light coat of vegetable oil (do not use corn oil) to the entire inside
surface with a paper towel. Heat the wok on a medium setting until the
cooking surface turns golden brown. Repeat this procedure several
times. This seasoning seals the pores of the metal, keeps food from
sticking, and prevents the wok from rusting. Wipe off excess oil before
using or storing.
For LP units, check the connection with a soap and water
solution after attaching the hose. Make sure there is gas in the tank and
tank is upright. Keep a spray bottle of soapy water near the gas
supply valve and check the connections for gas leaks before each
use.

clicking sound. At the same time a spark will be provided at the grill
burner. If the burner does not light in 4 seconds, turn the knob to
"off" and wait 5 minutes before trying again. . This will allow
accumulated gas to dissipate. After several failed attempts the burner
can be lit with a paper book match and the lighting rod located in the
drip tray.

To light with a Match
If you have just attempted to light the burner with the ignitor,
allow 5 minutes for any accumulated gas to dissipate. Keep your face
as far away from the burner as possible. Place the lit match and the
lighting rod (supplied in the drip tray) next to the burner. Push and
turn the control knob. If the burner does not light in 4 seconds,
turn the knob "off", wait 5 minutes and try again.

For proper lighting and efficient performance of the burner, it is
necessary to keep the igniter and burner ports clean. If the flame is
uneven, flutters, makes excessive noise or lifts, check to see if the burner
ports are clogged. If the ports are clogged, use a wire, straightened
paper clip, or needle to clear the ports. Do not use a toothpick; it
could break off in the port. If the condition persists, contact an
authorized service agency for adjustments.
