First use

Put the cooking material into the inner pot and cover it with a glass lid. The best cooking result is achieved if you fill the inner pot for at least
half. Small quantities can also be prepared, but in this case it may be necessary to adjust the cooking time. When cooking soup or vegetables,
leave enough space under the lid.
 When cooking vegetables and meat, place the vegetables first in the inner pot, then the meat and other ingredients.
 When cooking in „ H - high temperature “ mode, watch the cooking process as some soups can start to foam. Remember that frequent lifting
of the lid increases the cooking time.
 CAUTION: The inner pot may not withstand sudden changes in temperature. If the inner pot is hot, do not add cold water to it.
 Always add warm liquid before cooking frozen food.

Connect the slow cooker to the 230 V socket. The 3 LEDs of the programs will blink until the unit is programmed.

Press the „ Cooking Temperature Controller “ button until the desired „ L “,„ H “ or „ W “ program light comes on.

Press the UP arrow on the „ Cooking Time Controller “ until the cooking time is displayed. The time can be set after 30 minutes to a maximum
cooking time of 20 hours. The slow cooker starts to heat up.
 During cooking, the UP and DOWN arrows can change the cooking time at any time, pressing the „ On/Off “ button at any time can turn the
slow cooker off at any time.
 The cooking time on the display starts counting in minutes until „ 0:00 “ appears on the display.
CAUTION: During cooking, the slow cooker pot body (base) will be very hot. So handle gloves when handling slow cooker.

After the cooking time has elapsed, „ 0:00 “ flashes on the display, the slow cooker enters the „ Keep warm “, where it remains for a maximum
of 4 hours.
 To manually select the „ Keep warm “ mode, press the „ Cooking Temperature Controller “ button until the „ W “ LED lights up. This mode will
take up to 4 hours.
 After completing the cooking process carefully gently lift the glass lid. This will allow the steam to escape before removing the inner pot from
the slow cooker pot body (base).

Remove the inner pot, unplug the power cord and let the slow cooker cool down.

After a full cooling, clean the slow cooker, see „ Cleaning instructions “.
Hints for slow cooking
 Due to the nature of slow farming, the meat does not brown, as if it was cooked in a pan or oven. Before slow cooking, it is not necessary to
fry the meat or poultry, but you can do it if the meat tastes good.

Frying minced beef, bacon and sausage from slow cooking may be desirable if you want to remove excess fat from meat. The meat should be
placed in the inner pot so that it does not touch the glass lid.
 Lean meat such as chicken or pork tenderloin is faster than fibrous and fatty meat such as bovine plexus or pork shoulder. Baking meat with
bone prolongs the cooking time compared to boneless meat.
 Avoid opening a slow cooker during cooking as it causes considerable heat and steam loss. If you need to be still open, proceed as quickly as
possible.

Cut the meat into small pieces when cooked with pre-cooked foods such as corn, fruit or vegetables (mushrooms, sliced onions, flowers or
