Guide to slow cooking
•Slow cooking occurs at temperatures below
boiling point, liquids do not boil quickly at
this temperature. There is little steam or
evaporation, food will not stick and virtually
no stirring is required. Slow cooking helps
retain both flavours and nutrients.
•The Slow Cooker can operate on LOW all
day and night if required.
•When on the HIGH heat setting it will cook
similarly to a covered pot on a stove, foods
will cook in approximately half the time of
that set on LOW.
•When cooking on the HIGH heat setting,
additional liquid may be required.
•Vegetables such as carrots, potatoes and
turnips require longer cooking than many
meats. Place them on the bottom of the
ceramic bowl and cover with liquid.
•If adding fresh milk or yoghurt, this should
be done during the last 2 hours of cooking.
•Evaporated milk may be added at the start
of cooking.
FOOD REQUIRED TIME DEFAULT HEAT
Roasts 8:00 hours LOW
Stews/Soups 6:00 hours HIGH
Fish/Poultry 5:00 hours HIGH
Dips/Desserts 2:00 hours HIGH
•Rice, noodles and pasta are not
recommended for long cooking periods.
Cook them separately and then add to the
cooker during the last 30 minutes.
•During cooking, ensure liquid ingredients
are warmed before adding.
•If cooking frozen food, add some warm
liquid before putting in the ceramic crock. If
the bowl is hot do not add cold food.
USING THE CONTROL PANEL
•The Slow Cooker is equipped with 3 heat
settings.
•Once your Slow Cooker is plugged into the
power supply, switch the control dial to
either the LOW or HIGH temperature
setting. The red display light will activate to
show your Slow Cooker is turned on.
•When the cooking cycle is complete, you
can keep the food at serving temperature
by switching the dial to the WARM position.
•Switch the control dial to the OFF position
before removing the plug from the mains
power supply.

•For hygiene reasons we recommend that you
wash the removable ceramic crock in hot
soapy water, rinse and dry before use.
•NOTE: When you first use your Slow Cooker,
you may notice a slight odour due to the
burning off of manufacturing residues. This
will disappear after the first use.
•Ensure that you place your Slow Cooker on a
clear, flat work surface near a suitable mains
power socket.
•Plug the cord into the mains power socket.
•Add the ingredients of your choice.
•Attach the lid. The lid should not be removed
during use. Frequent lifting of the lid during
use can delay the cooking time.
•Set the temperature to either LOW or HIGH.
•CAUTION: The KEEP WARM setting should
only be used after completely cooking the
recipe according to the instructions. The food
must be hot enough to prevent bacterial
growth before using the KEEP WARM
setting. Do not use the KEEP WARM setting
to reheat any food, especially if it has been
refrigerated or frozen.
