Important Safeguards For Your Kambrook
Slow Cooker
• Carefully read all instructions
before operating the Kambrook
slow cooker for the first time and
save for future reference.
• Remove and safely discard
any packaging material and
promotional labels before using
the slow cooker for the first time.
• To eliminate a choking hazard
for young children, remove and
safely discard the protective
cover fitted to the power plug of
this slow cooker.
• When unpacking the slow cooker,
check to see you have received
all the items listed in the parts list,
before discarding the packaging.
• Always ensure the slow cooker is
properly assembled before use.
Follow the instructions provided in
this book.
• Always operate the slow
cooker on a stable and heat
resistant surface.
• Do not place the 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 the slow cooker
on a sink drain board.
• Do not place the cooker directly
on a heat sensitive bench top,
such as a stone bench top, when
cooking. This type of bench top
is heat sensitive to uneven heat
and may crack if heated locally.
To cook on a heat sensitive
bench top, place a chopping
board or heat proof mat
underneath the cooker.

Kambrook Recommends Safety First

5
• Do not operate the slow cooker
on an incline plane. Do not
move the slow cooker while it is
switched on.
• Use the removable crockery
bowl supplied with the slow
cooker. Do not use any
other bowl inside the slow
cooker housing.
• Do not use a damaged or
cracked removable crockery
bowl. If damaged or cracked,
replace bowl before using.
• Position the lid so that the steam
vent is directed away from
you. Lift and remove the lid
carefully to avoid scalding from
escaping steam.
• Never plug in or switch on the
slow cooker without having
the removable crockery
bowl placed inside the slow
cooker housing.
• Ensure the removable crockery
bowl is correctly positioned in
the slow cooker base before
you commence cooking.
• Do not place food or liquid in
the slow cooker housing. Only
the removable crockery bowl
is designed to contain food
or liquid.
• Never operate the slow cooker
without food and liquid in the
removable crockery bowl.
Ensure the crockery bowl is
at least ½ to ¾ full of food or
liquid before switching on the
slow cooker.
• Always slow cook with the glass
lid on for the recommended
cooking time.
• Do not lock the glass lid onto
the slow cooker with the lid clips
when operating. The locking
clips are for transporting the
slow cooker after use and when
the slow cooker has had time
to cool.
• Do not place anything on top of
the lid when assembled, when
in use and when stored.
• Do not place anything, other
than the lid, on top of the slow
cooker when assembled, when
in use and when stored.
• Always have the lid placed
correctly into position on the
removable crockery bowl
throughout operation of the
slow cooker unless it states in
the recipe to have it removed.
• Do not allow water from
the lid to drip into the slow
cooker housing, only into the
removable crockery bowl.
• Do not touch hot surfaces.
Use the handles for lifting and
carrying the slow cooker and
use dry oven mitts to remove
the lid and/or removable
crockery bowl. Lift and remove
the lid carefully and angled
away from you to avoid
scalding from escaping steam.
Allow the slow cooker to cool
completely before moving or
cleaning any parts.
• The glass lid has been specially
treated to make it stronger,
more durable and safer than
ordinary glass, however, it
is not unbreakable. If struck
hard, it may break or weaken,
and could later, shatter into
many small pieces without
apparent cause.
• Extreme caution must be used
when the slow cooker contains
hot food and liquids.

6
• The temperature of accessible
surfaces will be high when the
slow cooker is operating and for
some time after use.
• Do not place the removable
crockery bowl when hot on any
surface that may be affected
by heat.
• To prevent scratching the
surface of the removable
crockery bowl, always use
wooded or plastic utensils.
• High humidity, altitude, cold
tap water, ingredients and
minor fluctuations may slightly
affect the cooking times in the
slow cooker.
• The recommended cooking
times are approximate. Cooking
times can vary depending on
ingredients and quantities in
recipes.
• Avoid sudden temperature
changes. Do not place frozen
or very cold foods into the
removable crockery bowl when
it is hot.
• Do not place removable
crockery bowl or glass lid into or
under cold water while still hot.
• Do not use the removable
crockery bowl for food storage.
The removable crockery bowl
is not suitable for storing food in
the freezer.
• Do not reheat food using your
removable crockery bowl.
• Care should be taken when
handling the slow cooker after
cooking, ensuring that the slow
cooker body and parts are not
touched as these may still be
hot due to residual heat.
• It is best not to leave the slow
cooker unattended when in use.
• If you are not home during the
slow cooking process and the
power goes out, throw away the
food even if it looks done.
• If you are at home during the
slow cooking process and the
power goes out, finish cooking
the ingredients immediately by
some other means such as on
a gas stove, on the outdoor grill
or at a house where the power
is on.
• When you are at home, and
if the food was completely
cooked before the power went
out, the food should remain
safe up to two hours in the
slow cooker.
• The slow cooker is not intended
to be operated by means of
an external timer or separate
remote control system or any
other device that switches the
slow cooker on automatically.
• Do not use the removable
crockery bowl in a conventional
oven or microwave oven.
• Do not place the removable
crockery bowl on a gas burner
or electric hotplate.
• To avoid an electrical overload,
it is recommended that no other
appliances are plugged into the
same circuit as your slow cooker
when it is in use.
• Do not use chemicals, steel
wool, metal scouring pad or
abrasive cleaners to clean
the outside of the slow cooker
housing or crockery bowl
as these can damaged the
housing or the coating of the
crockery bowl.

7
• Keep the slow cooker clean.
Follow the cleaning instructions
provided in this book.

exceeding 30mA be installed in
the electrical circuit supplying
the appliance. See a qualified
electrician for professional
advice.
• During electrical storms,
the appliance should be
disconnected from the power
source at the wall socket to
prevent any electrical surges
that may arise during the storm

WARNING
Always operate the slow cooker
on a stable and heat resistant
surface.
WARNING
Do not place the slow cooker
directly on a heat sensitive
bench top, such as a stone
bench top, when cooking.
This type of bench top is heat
sensitive to uneven heat and
may crack if heated locally. To
cook on a heat sensitive bench
top, place a chopping board or
heat proof mat underneath the
slow cooker.
CAUTION
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use
the handle for lifting and carrying
the slow cooker and use oven
mitts to remove the lid and or
crockery bowl. Lift and remove
the lid carefully and angled
away from you to avoid scalding
from escaping steam. Allow the
slow cooker to cool completely
before moving or cleaning any
parts.
WARNING
Do not reheat food using your
crockery bowl.
WARNING
If you are not home during the
slow cooking process and the
power goes out, throw away the
food even if it looks done.
CAUTION
To prevent scratching the surface
of the crockery bowl, always use
wooden or plastic utensils.
Before first use
Wash the lid and crockery bowl
in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry
thoroughly.
Crockery bowl capacity: For best
results, fill the crockery bowl no more
than 2.5 cm from the rim. If only half-
filled, check for doneness 1 to 2 hours
earlier than the recipe states.
1. Plug into a 230V or 240V
power outlet.
2. Add ingredients into the
crockery bowl.
3. Place the lid on the crockery
bowl. The lid should sit level on the
crockery bowl for even cooking
and to prevent heat loss.
Clipping/Unclipping the Lid
for Transport
The slow cooker has clip latches built
into the carry handles to assist with
spill-resistant transport. Engaging the
latches will help keep the lid locked in
place when moving, however, it is not
leak-proof so all care should be taken
to keep the slow cooker level when
moving, especially if the content
contains a large quantity of liquid.
