Remove all packaging from the appliance.
Wash the ceramic pot and glass lid in hot soapy water, with a sponge or dish cloth,
rinse thoroughly and dry.
Never use the slow cooker with an empty ceramic cooking bowl. Using
the Slow Cooker empty can cause the ceramic bowl to crack.
How to use your Slow Cooker
Place the base on a dry, level, heat resistant surface, away from the edge of the work
surface. Do not use on the floor.
Place your ingredients into the ceramic pot, and place the pot inside the base.
Fit the glass lid to the top of the ceramic pot.
If you need to pre-cook or brown foods prior to slow cooking, this must be done in a
separate pan.
Do not try to brown or pre-cook food in the Slow Cooker.
Ensure the control dial is set to the OFF position. Then plug the unit into the mains
socket.
Set the control dial to LOW, AUTO or HIGH and cook for the recommended time given
in your recipe.
Switch off and unplug the Slow Cooker after cooking and remove the ceramic pot
using oven gloves.
Always place the ceramic pot on a heat proof mat or surface.
Hints and Tips
For best results the Slow Cooker should be at least half full.
Slow cooking retains moisture in the pot. If you wish to reduce the moisture, remove
the lid after the recipe is cooked and switch on to the “HIGH” setting until the recipe
has reduced.
Do not remove the lid unnecessarily as this will cause the heat to escape and effect
the cooking time.
Many recipes require all day cooking. If you do not have time to prepare food that
morning, prepare the night before and store food in a covered container in the
refrigerator. Add the food to the ceramic pot and add the required stock.
