ceramic bowl has a coarse
texture. Take care when
placing it on kitchen and
work surfaces.
Before first time use
Before using the slow cooker for the
first time, remove all labels and tags
from the product.
Wash the ceramic pot and glass lid in
hot soapy water with a sponge or a
dish cloth. Rinse then dry thoroughly.
Do not immerse the slow cooker base
in water or any other liquid.
During initial use you may notice a
slight odour, this is due to the burning
off of residues that have been left on
during the manufacturing process.
This is completely normal and will
disappear after using the unit.
Auto setting
The auto setting allows the user to set
the slow cooker to cook frozen food
for the day to be ready to serve 8-10
hours later. When the slow cooker is
set to auto, the cooker will cook on
high until the food defrosts and
reaches a pre-set temperature. It will
then switch to low and will maintain a
constant
cooking
temperature.
However if you wish to extend the
cooking time, you can use the low
setting and if you wish to shorten the
cooking period you can use the high
setting.
How to use
Always use the slow cooker on a dry,
level, heat resistant surface away
from the edge of the work surface.
Do not use the appliance on the
floor.
Place food and other ingredients
into the ceramic pot and place the
pot into the base. Cover the
appliance with the glass lid. If you
need to pre-cook or brown foods
prior to slow cooking, this must be
done in a pan. Do not try to brown
or pre-cook food in the slow cooker.
Set the control switch to the off
position before plugging the unit
into the mains socket.
Switch off and unplug the slow
cooker after cooking and remove the
crock pot using oven gloves.
CAUTION: Be careful not too touch the
base unit after cooking as it remains
hot.
Slow cooking
Slow cooking has always been the
best way to prepare a nutritious hot
meal with minimum preparation and
fuss.
