IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using this slow cooker, please follow these basic safety precautions.
1.
Please read all instructions before using.
2.
Make sure your electricity supply matches the voltage shown on the appliance.
3.
This slow cooker is for household use only. It is not suitable for commercial use, or for use outdoors. The
slow cooker must only be used for its intended purpose.
4.
Place the slow cooker on a level, heat-resistant surface. Do not let the power cord touch any hot surfaces
or hang over the edge of your worktop, where a child could grab it.
5.
Do not place the slow cooker on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in or near a heated oven.
6.
To avoid electric shock or damage, never put food directly into the slow cooker base. Always use the glass
cooking bowl.
7.
The slow cooker will get very hot during use. Do not touch hot surfaces; always use the handles and wear
oven gloves. Take great care when lifting out the cooking bowl with hot food inside.
8.
To switch off the slow cooker, turn the dial to OFF and unplug from the socket. Always unplug before lifting
out the cooking bowl, when not in use and before cleaning. Let the slow cooker cool down before cleaning.
9.
To prevent electric shock, do not immerse the slow cooker base in water or any other liquid. Do not let the
power cord or plug get wet.
10.
Please handle the crock and lid with care, and avoid extremes of temperature. The crock should never be
heated when empty. Once the cooking bowl is warm, do not add further chilled ingredients. Allow the
cooking bowl and lid to cool before washing.
11.
Using accessories that are not recommended by the manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury.
12.
The slow cooker is not intended for use by children or infirm people unless they have been adequately
supervised by a responsible person to ensure they can use it safely. Children should be supervised to
ensure they do not play with the slow cooker. We do not recommend leaving the slow cooker unattended
during use.
13.
Do not use the slow cooker if the power cord or plug show any signs of damage, or if the appliance is
dropped, damaged or working incorrectly. Call the helpline on 015394 88100 to arrange a repair by an
authorised repairer, or a replacement. Never try to repair the slow cooker yourself as this may cause
electric shock.
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
1.
Carefully unpack the appliance and remove any packaging
2.
Wash the cooking bowl and lid in hot, soapy water or place in your dishwasher. Rinse and dry. The slow
cooker base may be wiped with a damp cloth, and then dried. It must not be immersed in water.
USING YOUR SLOW COOKER
The beauty of slow cooking is that you can add the ingredients, turn on the slow cooker and enjoy a tender, moist
and flavourful meal hours later, with next to no effort. Cooks can make the most of cheaper cuts of meat and root
vegetables, with little or no pre-cooking required. Slow cooking is also extremely thrifty on electricity, costing not
much more than a light bulb to run. With a little adjustment here and there, you’ll find that many of your favourite
stovetop or oven-cooked recipes can be adapted to slow cooking.
