•
Clean the lid and cooking pot with hot, soapy water, rinse well and dry fully with a soft cloth.
USE
During initial use you may notice a slight odour due to the burning off of manufacturing residues.
This is completely normal and will disappear after a few uses.
Instructions for use
•
Place the base on the dry, flat, level, heat resistant surface, away from the edge of the work
surface.
•
With the control knob set to the OFF position, plug the Slow Cooker into the mains socket.
•
If required pre-heat the Slow Cooker on the high setting for 15-20 minutes with water in the
cooking pot. Drain the water from the pre-heated cooking pot before adding ingredients.
•
Place ingredients into the ceramic cooking pot, and place the pot into the base and cover 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 heat control to the desired temperature setting and cook for the recommended time
given in the recipes or use the cooking guide in these instructions.
•
Switch off and unplug the Slow Cooker and remove the cooking pot using oven gloves.
•
As ingredients, personal preferences and cooking times may vary, please check your food
thoroughly to ensure it is fully cooked and adjust the cooking time as necessary until you are
happy with the result.
Control knob and temperature settings
The control knob on the Slow Cooker offers 3
temperature settings for cooking, allowing you
to adapt the cooking time to your convenience.
The AUTO setting is the standard setting for slow
cooking. This gives you an average of 6-8 hours
cooking time and is thermostatically controlled.
However if you wish to extend the cooking period, you can use the LOW setting and if you
wish to shorten the cooking period you can use the HIGH setting.
Adding liquid during cooking
When adding liquid to the Slow Cooker during cooking, it is recommended to briefly switch off and
unplug the Slow Cooker while the liquid is added. Provided this is kept to a brief period, the cooking
time will not be affected. It is recommended to add hot water (not boiling) as adding cold water will
increase the cooking time.
SLOW COOKING TIPS
•
The Slow Cooker works by building up heat and maintaining an even temperature. To get the
best cooking results, do not remove the lid during cooking, since this will allow steam to escape,
