Move the lid using the handle only.
Avoid sudden temperature changes, e.g. placing frozen food in a hot bowl or pouring / immersing a hot bowl in cold water. Do not
use the bowl for preparation of dishes in ovens, cookers, stoves, etc. Do not put the bowl in the freezer. The bowl can be placed in
the refrigerator, where the temperature does not drop below 0 O C. After taking the bowl out of the refrigerator, wait approximately

PRODUCT OPERATION
Installation, start-up and operation of the appliance
The product must be unpacked and all parts of the packaging removed. It is recommended to keep the packaging, as it can be
helpful in further transporting and storing of the product.
Clean the product according to the instructions specifi ed in the “Product Maintenance” section.
It is recommended to fi ll the bowl with food before placing it in the housing. This will reduce the risk of contamination of the housing
with food. If the outside of the bowl is contaminated with food, thoroughly clean the contaminated areas before placing the bowl
inside the housing.
Place the foodstuff s inside the bowl. Cover the bowl with the lid and make sure that the edge of the lid is aligned with the edge of
the bowl. Place the bowl with the food in the product housing.
Make sure the control knob is in the OFF position - this means the appliance is turned off .

Turn the control knob to one of the three operating modes. The indicator light will come on.
WARM – the mode of sustaining the temperature of the cooked food.
LOW – lower temperature cooking mode.
HIGH – higher temperature cooking mode.
CAUTION!
The cooking time, regardless of the selected temperature, should not exceed 8 hours.
When you have fi nished cooking, you can set the heat-sustaining mode. Do not exceed 4 hours of operation in this mode. After
this time the food may start to dry out and lose its fl avour.
WARNING! During and immediately after operation, the bowl, lid and the housing can heat up to a high temperature. Caution must

Advice on using the slow cooker
Most food is suitable for slow cooking, but we recommend that you adhere to the following instructions.
For best results, the slow cooker bowl should be at least half full.
Slow cooking keeps moisture in the food. To reduce the food moisture, remove the lid after cooking and set the high cooking
temperature for 30 – 45 minutes.
The lid is not sealed. However, do not remove it without reason. Each time the lid is removed during the preparation of a dish, you
should add approx. 10 minutes to the cooking time specifi ed in the recipe.
