•Always insert the
connector end of the
power cord into appliance
inlet inserting power plug
into power outlet and
switching on appliance.
Ensure the appliance inlet
is completely dry before
inserting the connector
end of the power cord.
•This appliance cooks
under pressure. Improper
use may result in injury.
When using this appliance
for any function other
than sauté, ensure the lid
is properly assembled
and locked into position
before use.
•Do not place Breville Fast
Slow Cooker near the edge
of a bench or table during
operation. Ensure that the
surface is level, clean and
free of water and other
substances.
•Do not operate Breville
Fast Slow Cooker on a
sink drain board.
•We recommend the slow
cooker is not placed on
a stone bench top when
it's cooking. This is due
to bench tops being
sensitive to uneven heat
and may crack if heated
locally. If you would like to
cook with the slow cooker
on the bench top, place a
chopping board or heat
proof mat underneath the
slow cooker.
•Never move the Pressure
Cooker when in use
or whilst the cooker
is still under pressure.
Movement may result in
inadvertent movement of
the pressure release valve/
release valve resulting in
unexpected steam or hot
liquid being released from
the pressure release valve
or the side of the lid which
may cause scalding.

•Do not place this
appliance on or near a
hot gas burner, electric
element or where it could
touch a heated oven.
Position Breville Fast Slow
Cooker at a minimum
distance of 20cm away
from walls and provide
adequate space above and
all sides for air circulation.
•Keep the Breville Fast
Slow Cooker clear of walls,
curtains and other heat or
steam sensitive materials.
•Do not touch hot surfaces.
Use handles on the sides
of appliance and on lid.
Use the button to release

this book.
•Before placing removable
cooking bowl into
stainless steel base ensure
base of bowl and base of
appliance is dry by wiping
with a dry soft cloth.
•Do not place food or
liquid directly into
stainless steel base. Only
removable cooking bowl
is designed to contain
food or liquid.
•Always follow the
maximum and minimum
quantities of liquid
stated in instructions
and recipes.

5
•Do not exceed maximum
fill level. Some foods
expand during pressure
cooking such as rice,
diced vegetables, do not
fill removable cooking
pan over ½ full. Over
filling may cause a risk of
clogging pressure release
valve and safety locking
pin valve and develop
excess pressure.

can be extremely heavy
when full of ingredients,
care should be taken when
lifting from Breville Fast

•Always check pressure
release valve and safety
locking pin valve for
clogging before use and
clean if necessary.
Check to make sure the
safety locking pin moves
freely from under the lid.
•Extreme caution must
be used when appliance
contains hot food and
liquids and/or is under
pressure. Improper use
may result in injury.

the lid will not turn to
unlock, this indicates that
appliance is still under
pressure – do not force
lid open. Any pressure
remaining can be
hazardous. See operating
instructions for STEAM
RELEASE directions in
this instruction book (see
step 10–12 page 24).
•Always ensure that

before handling and
use oven mitts as
a precaution.
