Not suitable for use in conventional or microwave ovens. Should the handle become loose during use, re-tighten immediately. Always match the base size of the wok to the heat zone it is to be used on. Add the oil to the wok then heat carefully until small \"ripples\" appear on the surface of the oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo not let the oil become smoking hot. If this should occur let the wok cool down before proceeding. Olive oil, including extra virgin, is not recommended for stir-fry cooking as it has a low smoking point. It can easily burn which may damage the wok. During cooking, if the ingredients start to become dry or stick together, add one or two tablespoons of hot water and continue stir-frying; do not add more oil as this may make the finished recipe too oily. If used on a glass-topped hob, always li­ft the wok on, or across the surface. Never slide the wok as this may cause damage to the wok base as well as to the glass. Take care not to let the wok overbalance during use and never leave the wok unattended during cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeat Settings and Cooking Utensils\u003cbr\u003eTake care not to overheat the wok; it should never be used on a maximum or too high a heat setting as excessive surface temperatures will damage the non-stick coating.

Keep gas flames confined to the base area; they should not extend up around the outside of the wok as this could cause overheating and lead to damage.
