12. NEVER add cold water to a hot ceramic casserole
13. NEVER place the casserole in contact with direct intense heat such as on a range burner or
under a broiler element.
14. NEVER heat the casserole when it is empty.
Preparation
1. Decide when you want to eat and when you want to start cooking.
2. If you want to eat at 6 p.m., and you need to start cooking at 8 a.m., find a recipe that takes 8-10
hours. If you're slow cooking at low power, an extra hour or so at the end of the cooking time
doesn't make much difference, as long as there's sufficient cooking liquid to prevent the food
drying out.
3. Prepare the food in accordance with the recipe.
4. Sit the slow cooker on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface.
5. Plug the slow cooker into a wall socket (switch the socket on, if it's switchable).
6. Press the temperature button to select High, Low or Warm, (Press once for low, twice for High,
and 3 times for Warm). The default setting of 6 hours (6:00) will be shown in the digital display if
you have selected low, high or warm. After 3 seconds, the indicator light will illuminate beside
low, high or warm, depending on your selected setting.
7. Set the required amount of time by pressing the time button, each time you press the time
button, the time will increase by 30 minutes, to a maximum of 10 hours. If you don't press the
time button for 3 seconds, the cooking time will be the time showing on the display window.
NOTE: if you would prefer less cooking time than the default setting of 6 hours, continue to
press the cook time button past 10 hours and the cook time will display at 30 minutes. Press the
button to increase the time by 30 minute increment.
8. Once the cooking time is finished, the unit will switch to stand time mode for 10 minutes. The
digital display will countdown the 10 minute stand time and will automatically switch to warm.
9. Once the 10 hours has elapsed, the slow cooker will automatically switch off.
Serving
10. Using oven gloves, remove the lid, and set it on a heatproof surface.
11. It's best to ladle the food from the slow cooker into serving dishes or plates.
12. Don't carry the slow cooker; the trailing cable may catch on something.
13. You may use oven gloves to lift the cook pot, complete with the lid, but take care – it could
weigh as much as 7kg (15lb).
