• Do not allow water from the lid to drip
into the slow cooker housing, only into the
removable cooking bowl.
• Always have the glass lid placed correctly
into position on the removable cooking
bowl throughout operation of the slow
cooker unless states in the recipe to have
it removed.
• The glass lid has been specially treated
to make it stronger, more durable and
safer than ordinary glass, however it is not
unbreakable. If struck extremely hard,
it may break or weaken, and could at a
later time shatter into many small pieces
without apparent cause.
• High humidity, altitude, cold tap water,
ingredients and minor fluctuations may
slightly affect the cooking times in the
slow cooker.
• These times are approximate. Times can
vary depending on ingredients and
quantities in recipes.
• Extreme caution must be used when the
slow cooker contains hot food and liquids.
• The temperature of accessible surfaces
will be high when the slow cooker is
operating and for some time after use.
• Do not place the slow cooker directly
on a heat sensitive bench top, such as a
stone bench top, when cooking. This type
of bench top is heat sensitive to uneven
heat and may crack if heated locally. To
cook on a heat sensitive bench top, place
a chopping board or heat proof matt
underneath the slow cooker.
• Do not place the removable cooking
bowl when hot on any surface that may
be affected by heat.
• Avoid sudden temperature changes. Do
not place frozen or very cold foods into
the removable cooking bowl when it is
hot. Do not place hot removable cooking
bowl into cold water.
• Do not use the removable cooking bowl
for food storage. The removable cooking
bowl is not suitable for storing food in
the freezer.
• Do not use the removable cooking bowl
in a microwave oven. Do not place the
removable cooking bowl onto a heat gas
or electric burner.
• Do not reheat food using your removable
cooking bowl.
• Always slow cook with the glass lid on for
the recommended time.
• Ensure the removable cooking bowl is
correctly positioned in the slow cooker
base before you commence cooking.
• If you are not home during the slow
cooking process and the power goes out,
throw away the food even if it looks done.
• If you are at home, finish cooking the
ingredients immediately by some other
means such as on a gas stove, on the
outdoor grill or at a house where the
power is on.
• When you are at home, and if the food
was completely cooked before the power
went out, the food should remain safe up
to two hours in the cooker with power off.
• To avoid an electrical overload, it is
recommended that no other appliances
are plugged into the same circuit as your
slow cooker when it is in use.
• Do not operate the slow cooker on an
incline plane. Do not move while the slow
cooker is switched on.
• Do not leave the slow cooker unattended
when in use.
• Do not place anything, other than the
lid, on top of the slow cooker when
assembled, when in use and when stored.
• Do not place anything on top of the lid
when assembled, when in use and
when stored.
• Do not use chemicals, steel wool, metal
scouring pad or abrasive cleaners to
clean the outside of the slow cooker
housing or cooking bowl as these can
damaged the housing or the coating of
the cooking bowl.
• Keep the slow cooker clean. Follow
the cleaning instructions provided in
this book.
