USING YOUR SLOW COOKER FOR THE FIRST TIME
• When you switch on the slow cooker for the first time there may be a slight burning
smell, this is normal for a new heating element and will stop after a few uses.
• Unpack the slow cooker, remove all of the packaging materials.
• Before first use, wipe the outside of the slow cooker with a clean, damp cloth. Wash
the lid and cooking pot in hot, soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.
• The cooking pot and glass lid are dishwasher safe.
• Although this item is dishwasher safe for convenience, we recommend hand washing
to prolong the non-stick performance.
• Make sure that all parts are clean and dry before putting the cooking pot inside the
slow cooker.
• Always use plastic, wooden or silicone spatulas, as metal utensils will damage non-stick
coatings.
• Ensure the interior of the stainless steel housing on the base unit is clean and clear of
any debris.
USING THE COOKING POT ON THE HOB OR IN THE
OVEN
• The cooking pot can be used on all types of hob and in the oven.
• The cooking pot lid is also oven safe.
• Do not use in a microwave.
• Do not use under a grill.
• Do not place the hot cooking pot on delicate surfaces, always use a heat resistant mat
or trivet.
• Do not leave an empty cooking pot on a hot hob or allow to boil dry. In the event of
cooking pot boiling dry do not move from hob until it has cooled down.
• The cooking pot should not be filled more than two thirds of the capacity, when using
it on the hob.
• To maintain optimum energy efficiency use the cooking pot on burner of corresponding
diameter, and if using a gas hob adjust the flame so that it does not extend up the
sides of the cooking pot.
• Always use dry oven gloves or cloth when handling the hot cooking pot, as this will get
hot during and after cooking.
• Be careful when moving the cooking pot containing hot oil or liquids.
• Sliding the cooking pot on ceramic hobs could scratch the surface of the hob.
