Getting to Know Your
Slow Cooker
Congratulations on the purchase of your new
Slow Cooker. Slow cooking is a wonderful way of
transforming budget cuts of meat into delicious
and tender meals that will fill the house with
mouth-watering aromatic aromas.
One of the main benefits of your slow cooker is
that it can be left unattended, so whilst you are
at work or at play, you can enjoy delicious meals.
You can cook soups, stews, casseroles at your
convenience. Slow cooking allows the flavours to
blend and develop. Cooking meat on a gentle
heat will break down sinewy tissue, making the
toughest cuts deliciously tender.
Before Using For The First
Time
1. Carefully unpack your Slow Cooker. Remove
all packaging and materials.
2. It is necessary to operate the Slow Cooker
one time before placing food in the ceramic
pot. Fill the ceramic pot with tap Water (Do

AC electrical power outlet.

Operating Instructions
CAUTION: When the ceramic pot is filled and
positioned in the base unit, the Slow Cooker Is
heavy. If the unit needs to be moved to a final
serving position after cooking, using oven mitts,
remove the filled cooking pot carefully from the
base unit. Move the empty base unit to its final
serving position. Then transfer the ceramic pot to
position in the base unit.

2. Place food into the ceramic pot and cover
it with the glass lid. DO NOT FILL ABOVE THE

best results, the Slow Cooker should be at
least half filled. When cooking soups or stews,
allow a 2-inch space between the food and
the top of the cooking pot, so ingredients can
come to a simmer.
NOTE: When cooking meat and vegetable
combination, place the vegetables in the
bottom of the ceramic pot first. Then add
the meat and other ingredients.
