USING YOUR APPLIANCE
Preparing Your Appliance:
1. Place the base of the slow cooker on a flat,
dry, heat resistant surface.
2. Place your prepared ingredients into
the cooking pot and cover with a glass
lid. Ensure the lid is centred. Fill the pot
between 1/2 and 3/4 capacity to avoid
over or under-cooking. Do not overfill the
cooking pot.
3. Plug the slow cooker into the mains outlet.
CAUTION!
Make sure all of the temperature
controls are set to the OFF position before
plugging in the appliance.
4. Select the desired temperature setting
by turning the temperature control to the
required setting: LOW or HIGH.
5. When cooking is complete, turn the
temperature control to the KEEP WARM or
OFF position. Switch your slow cooker off
at the power outlet if turning the appliance
off.
CAUTION!
DO NOT use the KEEP WARM
setting to cook food. DO NOT keep the slow
cooker on this setting for more than 4 hours.
6. Carefully remove the cooking pot from the
slow cooker base.
CAUTION!
ALWAYS wear oven gloves when
handling the slow cooker’s hot surfaces,
including the cooking pot and glass lid.
Note:
When removing the Glass Lid, tilt it so that
the opening faces away from you to avoid being
burnt by steam.
7. Do not place the heated cooking pot on
any surfaces affected by heat. Use a hot
pad or trivet to protect any surfaces. Take
extra care when moving a cooking pot
containing hot liquids.
8. Unplug the slow cooker from the mains and
allow the appliance enough time to cool
completely before cleaning and storing.
Note:
Always cook with the Glass Lid on and
follow recommended cooking times.
Temperature Control Settings:
Note:
Do not use frozen meat. Thaw meat
before slow cooking.
LOW:
The LOW heat setting gently simmers food for
an extended period of time without overcooking
or burning. No stirring is required when using this
setting. Ideal for vegetable dishes and reheating.
Note:
When using the LOW setting to cook
meat dishes, the meat should be browned first.
Tip:
1 hour of cooking on HIGH equals 2 to 2 ½
hours on LOW.
HIGH:
The HIGH heat setting is ideal for use when
cooking dried beans and pulses. The HIGH
setting cooks food in half the time required for
the LOW heat setting. As food will boil when
cooked on the HIGH heat setting, it may be
necessary to add extra liquid, depending on
the recipe and the amount of time in which it
is cooked. Occasional stirring of stews and
casseroles will improve the flavour distribution.
Monitor food more regularly when cooking on
the HIGH setting.
Tips:
It’s recommended to use the HIGH setting
when you need to cook a tender cut of meat
quickly. Use the LOW setting for tougher cuts –
cooking them for longer gives them more time
for the meat to grow tender.
Keep Warm:
The KEEP WARM function allows you to keep
the food in your slow cooker warm and ready
to eat, even after cooking. Turn the dial on the
front of your slow cooker to KEEP WARM once
cooking has finished.
CAUTION!
Never use the KEEP WARM setting
for more than 4 hours.
CAUTION!
Do not use the KEEP WARM setting
to cook food.
