HOW TO USE YOUR SLOW COOKER
Before first use:
1. Wash the removable ceramic bowl in hot soapy water, then rinse and dry before
first use.
2. When you use your Slow Cooker for the first time, you may notice a slight odour due to
the burning off of manufacturing residues. This will disappear after using a few times.
3. Ensure that you place your Slow Cooker on a clear, flat work surface near a suitable
socket outlet.
4. Place the food in the ceramic cooking pot.
5. To avoid electric shock, do not use the heating unit for cooking.
Operation
1. Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical socket.
2. There are 3 temperature settings.
- LOW is recommended for slow "all day" cooking.
- HIGH provides faster cooking (1 hour on HIGH is equalto about 2 hours on LOW).
- WARM is only for keeping food warm. Do not cook on the WARM setting.
3. To select the temperature, turn the control knob to the required setting.
4. If you need to pre-cook or brown food prior to slow cooking, this must be done in a pan.
Do not try to brown or pre-cook food in the Slow Cooker.
5. Frozen foods may be used as part of a recipe. However, add at least 250ml of warm
liquid to the ceramic bowl if cooking frozen meats such as beef or chicken.
6. Always cook with the lid on.
7. Please note that the Slow Cooker must not be overfilled. The ceramic bowl should
never be more than 3/4 full.

the food is required.
