Slow Cooker Cooking
Place food into slow cooker and select desired cooking function.
Slow cooking will commence. Power on indictor will illuminate.
When cooking is completed, switch off and disconnect from the mains supply, remove ceramic bowl and serve.
Warning! After cooking, place the ceramic bowl on a heat resistant surface, as the bowl will be hot.
Handle with care. Use oven gloves when hot.
Warning!
Do not subject the ceramic bowl to sudden changes of temperature, as it may crack. Do not
put cold water into the bowl when it is hot, or boiling hot water into the bowl when it is cold.
Always cook with the lid on. Do not remove the lid often when cooking, as this will prolong the cooking time.
Do not overfill the ceramic bowl. Boiling liquids may overflow and cause personal injury or damage to the
appliance or cooking area.
Always place vegetables into ceramic bowl first when cooking with meat, as these will take longer to cook than
the meat.
Warning! Do not let the supply cord hang over the edge of any table or bench top, as young children may
pull the appliance cord and cause scalding or other personal injury.
