PREPARING FOR USE
Make sure your Crockpot multi-cooker is switched off and unplugged from the mains supply socket before
®
cleaning. Never immerse the heating base, cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
• Before using your multi-cooker for the first time, wash the lid, cooking bowl, 2-way rack and rice measure in warm,
soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use harsh abrasives, chemicals or oven cleaners.
• Before cooking for the first time, wipe the interior of the cooking bowl with a light coat of cooking oil to condition the
cooking surface.
• Using a damp cloth or sponge, wipe the exterior and interior of the heating base. Use a mild detergent solution. Dry
thoroughly.
IMPORTANT NOTES: Some countertop and table surfaces are not designed to withstand the prolonged heat generated
by certain appliances. Do not set the heated unit on a surface that may be damaged by heat. We recommend placing an
insulated pad or suitably sized trivet under your multi-cooker to prevent possible damage to the surface.
During initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke or odour may be detected. This is normal with many heating
appliances and will not recur after a few uses.
COOKING FUNCTIONS
Your multi-cooker has five cooking functions:
Brown (sear)/Sauté Use this function to seal or brown meat and poultry before cooking. This is especially useful when you
intend cooking meat using the slow cooker function. Your multi cooker has five brown (sear)/sauté temperatures.
Slow cook Slow cooking works by building up heat and maintaining an even temperature. For the best results do not
remove the glass lid before half the cooking time has elapsed. The glass lid allows you to monitor cooking progress without
interrupting the cooking time.
Roast Use your multi cooker to roast meat and poultry, potatoes and other root vegetables.
Bake The baking function of your multi cooker can be used to bake everything from fish to cakes.
Steam Effortlessly create perfect fluffy rice or steam vegetables and fish for delicious, healthy meals.
USAGE NOTES
• Never fill the cooking bowl to the rim. Always allow a 2.5 cm gap between the contents of the cooking bowl and the
rim.
• Changes to the cooking time or selected cooking temperatures can be made at any time during cooking using the timer
or temperature increase/decrease buttons.
• If additional time is needed after the cooking cycle has finished, first, press the required function button (Roast, Bake,
Steam, etc.). Next, use the increase/decrease time buttons to set the additional cooking time required (in 5 minute
increments) then press the start/stop button. Your multi-cooker will continue cooking for the added time.
• The Brown (sear)/Sauté function and the Steam functions can be used without setting the timer. However, if desired,
you can use the timer feature of your multi-cooker by setting a time using the timer increase/decrease buttons.
• After use, unplug your multi-cooker from the supply socket. Your multi-cooker does not switch off
automatically.
