RETAIN THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
•
Do not allow the pot to stand in water for a long time (though you can leave
water
inside
the pot to soak).
•
Do not switch on the Slow Cooker whilst the ceramic pot is missing or empty.
•
The glass lid sits a little loosely on the ceramic pot and is deliberately not a tight
fit.
During initial use you may notice a slight odour due to the burning off of
manufacturing residues.
This is completely normal and will disappear after a short time.
About Slow Cooking
Slow cooking has traditionally been used for soups and casseroles but it can also
cook most modern family meals. Slow cooking has always been the best way to
cook a delicious hot meal with the minimum preparation.
The cooking temperature is the same on both settings, so the setting you choose
merely dictates how quickly the slow cooker gets up to temperature. The lower
setting (usually 8 hour to 10 hours cooking times) heats food gently, whereas the
higher setting (4 hour to 6 hours cooking times) will heat food quicker.
T
he Slow Cooker will not ‘boil’ food but gently cook it over a
long period of
time.
