SETTING GUIDELINES
The following times are a guide only and will vary according to the type of food being cooked
and quantities.
Low setting:
will gradually cook food during the day and takes approximately 6-8 hours. This
setting can also be used when cooking more delicate foods which would benefit from a slightly
lower temperature of cooking such as baked apple or, poached fruit.
High setting:
will quicken up the cooking process compared to the Low setting with cooking
times between 3-5 hours.
Keep warm setting
– Use this setting once food has been cooked to keep food warm. We
recommend that food is not kept warm for longer than 2 hours after cooking and then switch
off after use. Taking the lid off will reduce the temperature inside the cooking pot so keep this
to a minimum and replace the lid quickly.
