• High humidity, altitude, cold tap water,
ingredients and minor fluctuations may slightly
affect the cooking times in the slow cooker.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use the handle for
lifting and carrying the slow cooker and use
oven mitts to remove the lid and or removable
cooking bowl. Lift and remove the lid carefully
and angled away from you to avoid scalding
from escaping steam. Allow the slow cooker
to cool completely before moving or cleaning
any parts.
• These times are approximate. Times can
vary depending on ingredients and quantities
in recipes.
• The temperature of accessible surfaces will be
high when the slow cooker is operating and
for some time after use.
• Do not place the cooker directly on a heat
sensitive bench top, such as a stone bench
top, when cooking. This type of bench top is
heat sensitive to uneven heat and may crack
if heated locally. To cook on a heat sensitive
bench top, place a chopping board or heat
proof mat underneath the cooker.
• Do not place the removable cooking bowl
when hot on any hot surface that may be
affected by heat.
• Avoid sudden temperature changes. Do
not place frozen or very cold foods into the
removable cooking bowl when it is hot. Do not
place removable cooking bowl when hot into
cold water.
• Do not use the removable cooking bowl for
food storage. The removable cooking bowl is
not suitable for storing food in the freezer.
• Do not reheat food using your removable
cooking bowl.
• Always slow cook with the glass lid on for the
recommended time.
• Care should be taken when handling the Slow
Cooker after cooking, ensuring that the slow
cooker body and parts are not touched as
these may still be hot due to residual heat.
• If you are not home during the slow cooking
process and the power goes out, throw away
the food even if it looks done.
• If you are at home, finish cooking the
ingredients immediately by some other means
such as on a gas stove, on the outdoor grill or
at a house where the power is on.
• When you are at home, and if the food was
completely cooked before the power went
out, the food should remain safe up to two
hours in the cooker with power off.
• To avoid an electrical overload, it is
recommended that no other appliances are
plugged into the same circuit as your slow
cooker when it is in use.
• Do not leave the slow cooker unattended
when in use.
• Do not use chemicals, steel wool, metal
scouring pad or abrasive cleaners to clean the
outside of the slow cooker housing or cooking
bowl as these can damaged the housing or
the coating of the cooking bowl.
• Do not use the removable cooking bowl in
a microwave or conventional oven. Do not
place the removable cooking bowl onto a
heat gas or electric burner.
• Do not use a damaged, cracked or dented
removable cooking bowl. If damaged or
dented, replace bowl before using.
• Avoid scalding from escaping steam when
removing the glass lid from the removable
cooking bowl when hot by carefully lifting the
lid angled away from yourself.
• Do not allow water from the lid to drip into the
slow cooker housing, only into the removable
cooking bowl.
• Do not place anything, other than
the lid, on top of the slow cooker
when assembled, when in use and
when stored.
• Always switch the slow cooker to the ’Off’
position, then switch off at the power outlet,
then unplug and allow to cool, if appliance is
not in use, before cleaning, before attempting
to move the appliance, dissembling,
assembling and when storing the appliance.
• Keep the slow cooker clean. Follow the
cleaning instructions provided in this book.
