Troubleshooting
Food is sticking to the surface.
Ensure the wok is adequately preheated before adding food and that sufficient cooking oil or fat is used. If using the non-stick coating, avoid using metal utensils that can scratch the surface. Clean the wok thoroughly; residue can affect non-stick performance.
Uneven cooking or hot spots.
The embossed bottom is designed for even heat distribution. Ensure your hob is set to an appropriate temperature and that the wok is centered on the heat source. Allow the wok to preheat fully before adding ingredients.
Handle feels loose.
Check the screws securing the handle to the wok body. Tighten them gently if necessary. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
