It recommends a ceramic-compatible flat-based wok or a large frypan, with all ingredients and equipment ready beforehand because stir-frying should be quick, and cooking large quantities in several smaller batches. Meat is cooked first and set aside to keep warm, then the vegetables are stir-fried until hot but still crisp before the zone is turned down and the meat and sauce are returned to the pan.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe guide advises always centring the pan on the cooking zone and matching its base to the zone size, because a smaller pot reduces efficiency, and switching a zone off a few minutes before finishing to make use of the residual heat. Metal objects such as knives, forks, spoons and lids should not be left on the cooktop surface as they can become hot, and if power is cut during cooking all settings are cancelled.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch1\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIncluded Products \/ Accessories:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCooktop: \u003c\/strong\u003e1 x Whirlpool WRT6340AUS 60cm 4 Zone Ceramic Cooktop with Triple Zone and 110cm power cord (without plug).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy-fit installation kit: \u003c\/strong\u003e2 x fixing clips and 2 x screws.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoam gasket: \u003c\/strong\u003esupplied in a plastic bag, to be attached to the underside of the glass before installation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003chr\u003e\u003ch1\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h1\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhirlpool appliances are distributed in Australia by Arisit Pty Limited and are backed by a 2-year manufacturer's warranty covering all defects in materials and workmanship.
