Before first use.

Before using your Sunbeam slow cooker for 
the first time, remove the crock insert and 
lid. wash both in warm soapy water using 
a mild household detergent, rinse and dry 
thoroughly.
1.  Prepare the food and place in the crock 

insert. Place the crock insert into the slow 
cooker and cover with lid.

2.  Insert the power plug into a 230/240 Volt 

power outlet and turn the power ON.

3.  Select temperature setting by turning the 

switch to either 1 or 2. 

Note

: Do not place the crock insert under 

cold water if it is still hot.

Note: 

The crock insert is oven safe so you 

can reheat your precooked dishes in an oven 
preheated to no more than 160ºC.

Heat setting 1.

Heat setting 1 provides controlled heat for 
gentle slow cooking of food.
This setting is ideally used if you would like 
meals to be ready after an extended period 
of time.

Heat setting 2.

One hour on heat setting 2 is equivalent to 
about 2½ hours on heat setting 1.
when baking, cooking dried beans or pulses 
and soups, heat setting 2 must be used. 
Cooking times can be adapted as a recipe 
can be started on 2 for the first 2 hours and 
then turned to 1 for the remainder of the 
time.

Timing.

All recipes indicate whether to use the heat 
settings 1 or 2, with a suggested variation in 
cooking times.
On heat setting 1, timing is not critical, 
making it almost impossible to overcook food 
in the slow cooker.
A couple of extra hours will not ruin the food 
because of the slow cooking process.

Lifting the lid.

The temperatures in the slow cooker build up 
slowly, therefore avoid lifting the lid whilst 
cooking.

Constant removal of the lid will result in a 
loss of heat and moisture extending cooking 
time.

Note:

 Each time the lid is lifted, extend 

cooking time by 30 minutes.

Stirring.

Stirring food is seldom necessary. The 
internal heating element will heat the food 
evenly and prevent food from sticking to the 
base.

Pre-heating.

It is essential to pre-heat the slow cooker for 
at least 20 minutes when baking. You may 
also pre-heat the slow cooker while preparing 
ingredients for cooking.

Important:

 Do not place frozen food into a 

heated slow cooker - as this may damage the 
crock insert.

Pre-browning.

To seal in flavours and juices, it is 
recommended to pre-brown meats and 
poultry in a frypan before placing in the slow 
cooker.
Fat cuts of meat and mince should be pre-
browned and drained thoroughly to remove 
any excess fat.
