IMPORTANT:
Always use
oven mitts to remove the
removable cooking pot
and the glass lid when hot.
IMPORTANT:
Do not place
the removable cooking
pot or glass lid when hot
on any surface that may
be affected by heat.
IMPORTANT: Always lift
and remove the glass
lid carefully using an
oven mitt and angled
away from yourself to
avoid scalding from
escaping steam.
Using The Temperature
Control Settings
This searing slow cooker has four
settings: ‘Low’, ‘High’, ‘Auto’ and keep
‘Warm’. Use the recommended
guidelines below to determine
cooking time and heat setting and
use recipes in this instruction book.
Dishes can be prepared well in
advance of mealtime and cooking
time regulated so that food is ready to
serve at a convenient time.
NOTE:
The Keep Warm function
is only used to keep the meal at
serving temperature. It is not for
cooking.
A general rule of thumb for most slow
cooked meat and vegetable recipes is:

Adapting Cooking Time
Your favourite traditional recipes
can also be easily adapted to the
searing slow cooker. Simply halve the
amount of liquid and increase the
cooking time. The following is a guide
to adjusting your favourite recipes.
NOTE:
These times are
approximate. Times can vary
depending on ingredients and
quantities in recipes.

Low Setting
The ‘LOW’ setting gently cooks food
for an extended period of time
without overcooking or burning.
Generally no stirring is required when
using this setting.
High Setting
The ‘HIGH’ setting is used when
cooking dried beans or pulses and will
cook food in half the time required
for the ‘LOW’ setting. Some foods
may boil when cooked on the ‘HIGH’
setting, so it may be necessary to
add extra liquid. This will depend on
the recipe and the amount of time in
which it is cooked. Occasional stirring
of stews and casseroles will improve
the flavour distribution.
Auto Setting
The AUTO setting will first cook on
a high temperature for a period of
time to bring the food quickly to
the desired temperature, then it will
automatically reduce to a lower
temperature. This setting is ideal
for slow cooking when you require
variable temperature and a have
approximately 4 to 6 hours to cook
your recipe.
Keep Warm Setting
The keep ‘WARM’ setting is used
to keep cooked foods at serving
temperature. It is not a cooking setting
and should only be used after first
cooking on the ‘HIGH’ setting. It is not
recommended to keep food on the
keep ‘WARM’ setting for more than
4 hours.
NOTE: We recommend only
using the keep ‘WARM’ setting
after using the ‘HIGH’ setting.
