ADDING LIQUID WHEN THE SLOW COOKER IS IN USE
It is recommended to switch OFF and temporarily disconnect from the
mains supply when re-filling the slow cooker. As long as the refill is quick,
your cooking should not be unduly affected. Remember that lifting the lid
can add up to 15 minutes on to the overall cooking time. Take care not to
over fill. Adding cool water will temporarily slow down the cooking
process, so add hot liquid, but not boiling. Remember to switch the slow
cooker back ON.
CLEANING YOUR SLOW COOKER
Switch off from the power supply and ensure the slow cooker is perfectly
cool before cleaning. Never immerse the base unit, the power cord or
plug in water. Wash the bowl and lid in hot, soapy water and note both
may well benefit from soaking first. The base unit can be wiped with a
damp cloth.
The bowl and lid may be washed in your dishwasher, but not
that excessive washing may led to damage of the glass and lid
knob.
