Read the instructions before use and keep them safe. If you pass the slow
cooker on to anyone else, pass on the instructions too. Remove all packaging,
but keep it till you’re satisfied the slow cooker is working.
Important safeguards
Follow basic safety precautions, including:
1.Don’t put the slow cooker in water or any other liquid, don’t use
it in a bathroom, near any source of water, or outdoors.
2.The slow cooker must only be used by or under the supervision of
a responsible adult.
3.Don’t touch hot surfaces (inside/outside of the slow cooker). Use
oven gloves, use the handles and lid knob.
4.Keep clear of the steam vent in the lid, to avoid the risk of scalding by the
escaping steam.
5.Don’t touch internal surfaces till the slow cooker has cooled down fully.
6.Don’t cook on the Low setting without first preheating the crock pot in the
slow cooker on high for at least 20 minutes.
7.Don’t use the slow cooker to re-heat food that’s already been cooked.
8.Don’t use the Warm setting to warm food. It must only be used to keep
food warm immediately after it’s been cooked to readiness in the slow
cooker.
9.You must boil dried beans (e.g. red kidney beans) for at least 10 minutes
before adding them to the slow cooker. They’re poisonous if eaten raw or
undercooked.
10.Put the slow cooker on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, close to a
power socket and out of reach of children.
11.Route the mains lead so it doesn’t overhang, and can’t be tripped over or
caught accidentally.
12.Unplug the slow cooker when not in use, before moving and before
cleaning. Let it cool down fully before cleaning and storing away.
13.Don’t try to cook in the slow cooker without using the crock pot.
14.Leave a clear space of at least 5cm (2 inches) all round the slow cooker
when in use.
15.Don’t cover the slow cooker or put anything on top of it while in use.
16.Don’t use the slow cooker near or below curtains or other combustible
materials.
17.Keep the slow cooker, crock pot, and mains lead away from hotplates, hobs
and burners.
18.Don’t put a hot crock pot on a cold surface or into cold water, it may crack
19.Don’t put cold water into a hot crock pot, or hot water into a cold crock
pot.
20.Don’t use the crock pot with any appliance (cooker, hob, oven, microwave
oven, etc.) other than the slow cooker.
