I TRODUCTIO TO SLOW COOKI G
Slow cooking occurs at temperatures around oiling point. The slow
cooker is designed to operate all day or all night if required, on the
LOW position. Food will cook on HIGH in a out half the time required
with the LOW setting. Additional liquid may e required as food oils
on high setting. Always unplug the appliance when not in use.
BEFORE USI G THE FIRST TIME
• Carefully unpack your slow cooker and clean it according to the
section “CLEANING AND CARE”.
• It is necessary to operate the slow cooker one time efore
placing food in the stoneware liner. Pour 4 cups of water into the
stoneware liner and place it into the ase unit. Cover with the
glass lid.
• Turn the control dial to “High” position, and allow heating for
approximately 30 minutes. You may notice a slight odor; this is
normal and will quickly diminish.
• Turn control to OFF and allow cooling for 20 minutes.
• Wearing oven mitts, grasp the stoneware liner y its handles to
carefully lift it and remove it from the ase unit. Pour out the
water from the stoneware liner.
• Rinse the stoneware liner, dry thoroughly and replace into the
ase unit.
OPERATIO
• Prepare your ingredients to e slow cooked directly in the
stoneware liner.
ote: do not fill the liner to the top with food.
• Put the lid on the stoneware liner.
• Always make sure the temperature kno is in "0FF" position.
• Place the slow cooker on a heat-resistant surface.
• Insert the plug in a grounded power socket, 120V, UL type.
• Select the desired temperature setting (LOW or HIGH) and let the
ingredients cook slowly (see section: TEMPERATURE SELECTOR).
• When cooking is complete, turn dial to OFF and unplug from
power outlet.

• Using oven mitts carefully lift the lid, away from you, using its kno
to allow steam to escape.
• You can either serve the preparation in the crock or transfer it in
another receptacle. When taking the stoneware liner out of the
aluminum pan, use oven mitts to grasp the handles, particularly if
you are sensitive to heat. Always grasp the liner y its handles,
using oven mitts.
• Always let the appliance cool down efore cleaning or storing it.
Even when turned off and unplugged, the Slow Cooker will
remain hot for some time after using.
WAR I G:
According to U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food Safety and Inspection
Service, to avoid food- orne illnesses, foods such as meat, fish, and poultry
should e thoroughly cooked efore consuming them. Before consuming,
determine the temperature of the foods using a food thermometer (not
included). Refer to the USDA we site for information on food temperature
rules.
TEMPERATURE SELECTOR
• According to the preparation you can select position LOW (Low
cooking setting) or position HIGH (High cooking setting).
• The LOW heat setting gently simmers food for an extended period
of time without overcooking or urning. No stirring is required
when using this setting. Ideal for vegeta le dishes and re-heating.
• Although the fast cooking setting accelerates the preparation, it
remains slow compared to a classical cooking mode and your
preparation may simmer gently to allow the ingredients to give
off their flavor. The HIGH heat setting will cook food in half the
time required for the LOW heat setting. As food will oil when
cooked on the HIGH heat setting. It may e necessary to add
extra liquid, depending on the recipe and the amount of time in
which it is cooked. Occasional stirring of stews and casseroles will
improve the flavor distri ution. Food should e monitored when
using the high setting, just like cooking in a pot with a lid on.
• You can also use the HIGH settings for the first couples of hours
and then switch ack to the LOW setting for the remainder of the
cooking.

• Using the KEEP WARM position, the slow cooker will keep the food
at serving temperature after cooking, at approx. 150°F. Do not
use this setting to cook food.
• Power light will light on if dial selects LOW, HIGH or KEEP WARM
setting.
PRACTICAL ADVICE
• In order to prolong the appliance's lifespan and to protect the
crock, we advise you not to create thermal shocks during use. For
example, never pour oiling liquid on cold ingredients or on the
contrary, never put frozen food in a hot preparation. As a rule, if
the liner is hot, do NOT add cold or frozen food.
• Before cooking frozen food, please add some warm liquid.
• Never fill the stoneware liner to the rim as the preparation might
flow over during the cooking process (leave up minimum 2 inches
space to the rim)
• Do not use for more than 8 hours consecutively.
• Defrost any frozen content efore cooking into the slow cooker.
• Remem er that frequent lifting of the lid during cooking will
increase the cooking time.
• When cooking a meat and vegeta le com ination, place the
vegeta les at the ottom of the stoneware liner first, and then
add the meat and other ingredients.
• Meat will not rown when slow cooking. If you wish to rown the
meat, please rown the meat in a separate cooking pan, efore
putting in the slow cooker.
• Whole her s and spices have a etter flavor, than if crushed or
ground.
• Remem er liquids do not oil away in a slow cooker like they
would do in a normal pan. Reduce the amount of liquids if
following a recipe not specifically written for slow cooking.
Exceptions to this rule are soups and rice. If a recipe results in too
much liquid, remove the cover and turn to HIGH setting.
• Most recipes that call for uncooked meat or vegeta les will
require a out 6-8 hours slow cooking time on LOW setting.
• Meat with a high fat content will result in dishes with fewer flavors.
Pre-cooking or rowning these meats will help reduce the
amount of fat. The higher the fat content, the less water is
needed. If cooking meat with a high fat content, cook on a ed

of thick onion slices so that the meat will not sit and cook in the
fat. If necessary, skim off the excess fat from the top of the food,
using a spoon, efore serving.
• Food cut in uniform pieces will cook more evenly and faster than
if left whole (poultry, roasts)
• Rice, noodles and pasta are not recommended to cook for
extended periods of time. Please cook separately and add to the
preparation 30 minutes efore the end of the cooking time.
COOKI G WITH YOUR SLOW COOKER
Contrary to classical cooking modes, your appliance does not heat
the food from elow ut only the sides of the appliance are heating
and the heat is spread over the whole recipient. This way the food
does not stick to the ottom of the receptacle and may thus cook
for a long time.
All preparations that need slow cooking, i.e. to "simmer", can e
made with the slow cooker, ut other preparations may e adapted
to this cooking mode.
As most food is cooked over period of 6-9 hours, it can e prepared
in advance the evening efore, refrigerated in the remova le
crockery pot, placed in the slow cooker and switched on in the
morning and left to cook all day. When you arrive home a delicious,
hot meal will await you.
The guide elow will help simplify the process of slow cooker,
allowing you to o tain ultimate satisfaction from your slow cooker.
It’s all in the timing!
Always allow sufficient time for the food to cook. It is almost
impossi le to overcook in the slow cooker, particularly when using
the LOW setting. Most recipes can e cooked on any one of the
temperature settings; however the cooking times will vary
accordingly.
Adapting cooking times
Your favorite traditional recipes can e adapted easily, y halving
the amount of liquid and increasing the cooking time considera ly.
See the guide that follows for suggested cooking times and settings
when adjusting your favorite recipes.

Traditional Recipe Time: Slow Cooker Recipe Time:
15-30 minutes 4-6 hours on LOW heat setting
60 minutes 6-8 hours on LOW heat setting
1-3 hours 8-12 hours on LOW heat setting
OTE! These times are approximate. Times can vary depending on
ingredients and quantities in recipes.
All food should e cooked with the glass lid well in place. Each time
the lid is lifted, oth the heat and moisture are decreasing. Cooking
times should e adjusted y to accommodate this factor.
Liquid amounts
When food is cooking in your slow cooker, very little moisture oils
away. To compensate this, it is advisa le to halve the liquid content
of traditional recipes.
However, if after cooking the liquid content is excessive, remove the
lid and operate the slow cooker on the High heat setting for 30-45
minutes or until the liquid reduces y the desira le amount.
Stirring the food
Little or no stirring is required when using the LOW or KEEP WARM
setting. When using the HIGH heat setting stirring ensures even flavor
distri ution.
