THE CONTROL DIAL AND COOKING TIMES
• The slow cooker has three temperature settings so cooking times can be adapted.
Meals can be slowly simmered all day long, or can be ready in just a few hours. Over
time you will develop a feel for how long your favourite recipes take.
• The final temperature of the food is about 120ºC whether it has been cooked on the
low or high setting. The only difference between these settings is the amount of time
the cooking process takes.
• When the slow cooker is plugged into the socket and turned on, there will be a beep
and the control panel will illuminate and flash. The appliance will turn off within 5
minutes if no buttons are pressed.
• Use
LOW
: if you wish to extend the cooking time, ideal for simmering and slow
cooking.
• Use
HIGH
: if you wish to shorten the cooking time, ideal for faster cooking.
•
WARM
: the standard setting, with an average cooking time of 6-8 hours. This setting
cooks food on HIGH until the correct temperature is reached, then keeps it warm until
ready to serve.
All cooking times are approximate, and will vary according to your recipe and choice of
ingredients.

loss and adds about 25 minutes to the cooking time. Avoid lifting the lid.
