Operation
1. Add the ingredients into the ceramic bowl
2
with stock or water. For best
results, the ceramic bowl should be at least half-filled. Do not overfill the
ceramic bowl more than two-thirds full (see
Fig. C
).
2. Replace the lid
1
on the ceramic bowl.
The lid does not form a tight fit on the ceramic bowl but should be centered
on the ceramic bowl for best results. Do not remove the lid unnecessarily
during cooking because this will result in major heat loss and increase the
cooking time.
3. Plug the power cord into an appropriate power outlet.
The display
6
will come on, showing “00:00” (see
Fig. B
).
4. Press the power button
7
to switch on the slow cooker.
The display will show “LOW 08:00”. The slow cooker is by default programmed
to cook for 8 hours at a low heat after switching on.
The display starts to count down to zero while showing the remaining
cooking time. The blue backlight of the display is on during the countdown
(see step 1 in
Fig. D
).
5. To select cooking at a high heat, press the mode button
8
once.
The display will show “HIGH 04:00”. The slow cooker is then programmed to
cook for 4 hours at a high heat.
6. To change the cooking time, press the (+) button
10
or (–) button
9
.
You can change the time in 30 minute increments or decrements for a
maximum cooking time of 20 hours or a minimum cooking time of
30 minutes.
7. When the cooking time has elapsed, the slow cooker will automatically go
into the keep warm mode for one hour. The display will show “WARM 01:00”.
If you want to stop cooking before the cooking time, press the power
button. The slow cooker will then go into the standby mode.
If necessary, the keep warm mode can be selected by pressing
the mode button to keep the already cooked food at serving
temperature (default time: 2 hours). Press the (+) or (–) button
to change the keep warm time (between 30 minutes and 20
hours). Do not keep food in the keep warm mode longer than
necessary. The keep warm mode is not suitable for preparing
food.
8. After one hour in the keep warm mode, the slow cooker will automatically
switch off and go into the standby mode.
To stop the keep warm mode at any time, press the power button. The slow
cooker will then go into the standby mode.
