indicate a blinking ‘PREHEATING’.

temperature, the temperature alert
will sound.
7. Place food, inside oven-proof cookware, on
the center of the wire rack so air will flow
around all sides of the food.

the timer will automatically begin to count
down. Time can be adjusted during the slow

TIME dial. The cycle can be stopped at
any time by pressing the START/CANCEL
button.

the oven will automatically switch to
the WARM function. The LCD screen
will display ‘KEEP WARM’ and the

will automatically count down. The keep
warm cycle can be stopped at any time by
pressing the START/CANCEL button.
NOTE
Do not pull the wire rack further than halfway
out when inserting or removing the cookware
from the oven.
Tips for slow cooking
1. Ensure cookware is ovenproof and does not
exceed 6 kg when empty.
2. Fill cookware to minimum ½ and maximum
¾ full to avoid over or under-cooking. To
prevent spillover,do not fill cookware more
than ¾ full.
3. Always slow cook with the lid on to prevent
food from drying out. Cover cookware with
a layer of aluminum foil before covering
with lid to keep even more moisture in.
4. Follow cooking settings and times
prescribed in traditional slow cooker
recipes. One hour on ‘HI’ is equivalent to
approximately one-and-a-half to two hours
on ‘LO’.
5. Cold food will take longer to cook than food
that has been pre-seared or heated so adjust
cooking times as appropriate. Do not slow
cook frozen foods.
USING THE WARMING TRAY
The top of the oven is very hot during and after
operation. As a result, storing items on top of
the oven is not recommended.
The only exception is the optional Sage
Bamboo Cutting Board and Serving Tray that
fits in the ribbed section on top of the oven.
