HOW TO USE TIMESELECT TECHNOLOGY
1.
Place the aluminium cooking bowl into the heating base, add ingredients into the bowl and cover with the lid. You
can use the aluminium cooking bowl on the hob for searing meat and browning ingredients before placing in the slow
cooker if desired.
2.
Plug Crockpot

®
3.
Choose "SCHEDULE MEAL" on the left side of the control panel.
4.
Select "FOOD" to choose from a list of 4 preset functions: MEAT
NOTE: Make "FOOD" selection based on the recipe type being cooked. If the recipe that you are cooking is not on the
preset list, please choose the main ingredient that most closely relates, or cook using the "MANUAL" function.
NOTE: Stews should be cooked using the "MEAT
pieces of meat or poultry, please add additional time to the meal's earliest end time.
NOTE: For those recipes containing a large quantity of root vegetables these will require cooking for a longer period of
time at a higher temperature. We recommend these recipes are cooked on Manual HIGH setting instead of VEGGIES
setting.
5.
Use the "AMOUNT" button to select weight or capacity of food being cooked. If "MEAT
selected, the slow cooker will give a weight option of "+1 KG" or "0-1 KG". If "SOUP
the slow cooker will give a capacity option of "FULL POT
NOTE: "FULL POT
" is referencing a cooking pot that is filled to the MAX line. "HALF POT
cooking pot that is filled to the ½ line.
6.
Next, use the "HOUR" and "MINUTE" buttons to select the time that you would like your meal to be complete (e.g.
20:00), then press "START". Initial time displayed on the screen is the meal's earliest end time, based on food and
amount being cooked.
NOTE: "SCHEDULE MEAL" function will not cook food longer than 12 hours from the meal cook-start time. Once the
clock is past the scheduled meal time, the slow cooker will automatically turn to "KEEP WARM".
NOTE: TimeSelect technology automatically determines the correct heat setting based on the above inputs. Food
will be heated to a food safe temperature and held there for the necessary time, unless there is a power outage. See
usage notes for more details, in the event of a power outage.
USAGE NOTES
•
To change between LBS and KGS, hold "AMOUNT" button for 3 seconds.
•
To change the current time, hold "CLOCK SET" for 3 seconds. Adjust the time using "HOUR" and "MINUTE", then
press "CLOCK SET" to confirm the selection.

Should the clock setting stop working or low battery symbol displayed after plugging back in the battery may need
replacing. See Battery Section for details.
•
If there is a Power outage, the display and lights blink when the Power is restored. All slow cooker settings have been
cleared and must be reset. As a result, the food may be unsafe to eat. If you are unaware of how long the power was
out, we suggest you discard the food inside.
•
To avoid over or under-cooking, always fill the aluminium cooking bowl ½ to MAX and conform to the recommended
cooking times.
•
Do not overfill the aluminium cooking bowl. To prevent spillover, do not fill the aluminium cooking bowl higher than
MAX.
•

allow the heat to build up efficiently.
•
Always wear oven gloves when handling the lid. Beware of escaping steam when opening the lid.
•
Unplug when cooking has finished and before cleaning.
•
The removable aluminium cooking bowl is ovenproof and suitable for use on a gas or electric hob. The bowl can be
used for searing ingredients on the hob, using a medium heat as the bowl is quick to heat up. Searing will be faster

GUIDE TO ADAPTING RECIPES
This guide is designed to help you adapt your own and other recipes for your slow cooker. Many of the normal preparatory
steps are unnecessary when using your slow cooker. In most cases all ingredients can go into your slow cooker at once
and cook all day. General:
•
Allow sufficient cooking time.
•
Always cook with the lid on.
•
For best results and to prevent food from drying or burning, always ensure an adequate amount of liquid is used in the
recipe.
RECIPE TIME
15 - 30 minutes
30 - 45 minutes
50 minutes - 3 hours
PASTA AND RICE:
•
For best results, use long grain rice unless the recipe states otherwise. If the rice is not cooked completely after the
suggested time, add an extra 1 to 1½ cups of liquid per cup of cooked rice and continue cooking for 20 to 30 minutes.
•
For best pasta results, add the pasta to the slow cooker during the last 30 to 60 minutes of cook time.
BEANS:
•
Dried beans, especially red kidney beans, should be boiled before adding to a recipe.
•
Fully cooked canned beans may be used as a substitute for dried beans.
VEGETABLES:
•
Many vegetables benefit from slow cooking and are able to develop their full flavour. They tend not to overcook in your
slow cooker as they might in your oven or on your hob.
•
When cooking recipes with vegetables and meat, place vegetables into the aluminium cooking bowl before meat.
Vegetables usually cook more slowly than meat in the slow cooker and benefit from being partially immersed in the
cooking liquid.
•
Place vegetables near the sides or bottom of the aluminium cooking bowl to help cooking.
MILK:
•
Milk, cream, and sour cream break down during extended cooking. When possible, add during the last 15 to 30
minutes of cooking.
•
Condensed soups may be substituted for milk and can cook for extended times.
SOUPS:
•
Some recipes call for large amounts of water/stock. Add the soup ingredients to the aluminium cooking bowl first then
add water/stock only to cover. If a thinner soup is desired, add more liquid when serving.
MEATS:
•
Trim fat, rinse well, and pat meat dry with paper towels.
•
Browning meat beforehand allows fat to be drained off before slow cooking and also adds greater depth of flavour.
This can be done using the cooking bowl directly on gas or electric hobs.
•
Meat should be positioned so that it rests in the aluminium cooking bowl without touching the lid.
•
For smaller or larger cuts of meat, alter the amount of vegetables or potatoes so that the aluminium cooking bowl is
always filled to the ½ or MAX lines.
