USING THE SLOW COOKER
1. Always ensure the temperature control knob is set to the OFF position for the
temperature settings that are not in use.
2. Place the ceramic bowl into the cavity of the slow cooker.
3. Prepare desired food and place ingredients into the ceramic bowl.
4. Place the lid securely on the ceramic bowl.
5. Plug the unit into the electrical outlet.
6. Select desired temperature setting, LOW, HIGH or KEEP WARM.
7. We do not recommend using the KEEP WARM setting for more than four hours.
8. The KEEP WARM setting is only for keeping food warm which has already been
cooked.
9. Refer to your favourite recipe, add foods and follow appropriate cooking times.
10. When the cooking cycle is complete, set the control knob to KEEP WARM.
11. Place the bowl in a suitable location for serving.
12. Always make sure that the control knob is set to the OFF position once the
ceramic bowl is empty to prevent damaging it.
13. When you have finished using the slow cooker, turn the control knob to the OFF
position, unplug the unit and wait until all parts and accessories have cooled
completely before cleaning.
COOKING HINTS
1. Do not fill ceramic bowl past 3/4 full. Some foods may expand during cooking
and this may result in food spilling over.
2. Always cook with the lid in place. Avoid removing lid to check progress while
cooking for the first two hours. This may result in heat loss and delay the cooking
cycle.
3. Always wear protective oven mitts when handling parts and accessories when
the unit is on.
4. Unplug the unit when it is empty or not in use.
5. If the power or heat has been turned off for any extended period of time, the food
inside the container may no longer be safe to eat. It is recommended the food be
discarded due to health and safety reasons.
6. Do not use the ceramic bowl in an oven, microwave or directly on a stove-top.
