…. Operating Instructions
COOKING:
Place the base on a dry, level, heat resistant surface, away from the
edge of the table surface. Do not use on the floor.
Place food and other ingredients into the ceramic pot, and place the pot
into the base.
Cover with the glass lid. If you need to pre-cook or brown foods prior
to slow cooking, this must be done in a pan. Do not try to brown or pre-
cook food in the slow cooker.
Set the control knob to the OFF position before plugging the unit into
the main socket.
Set the temperature to LOW or HIGH settings and cook according to
the recipe.
Do not exceed cooking for over 8 hours.
Once food is finished cooking, you can switch off the slow cooker or
set it to Keep Warm to keep food warm up to 4 hours.
To turn off, set the knob to OFF and unplug the slow cooker after
cooking is complete and remove the ceramic pot using heat resistant
gloves or mitts.
CAUTION: BE CAREFUL NOT TO TOUCH THE BASE UNIT AFTER COOKING AS
IT WILL REMAIN HOT.
KEEP WARM FUNCTION:

over 4 hours and food contents may start to become dry or the flavor
may alter.
Food cooked in other appliances can be transferred to the slow cooker
to keep warm as well.

Tips For Slow Cooking
About slow cooking
Slow cooking has always been the best way to prepare a nutritious
hot meal with minimum preparation and maximum free time away
from the kitchen.
Traditionally slow cooking has centered on soups and casseroles but
with this oval ceramic pot you can also produce most modern
family meals and dinner party dishes. This pot is convenient as well
as looking good enough to take straight to the table for serving.
(Always place the slow cooker on a heat proof mat or surface).
This method of cooking is ideal for preparing tougher cuts of meat,
giving them the long, gentle simmering that ensures that they
become tender and full of flavor.
The slow cooker should be at least half full for best results to avoid
over spilling.
Slow cooking retains moisture. If you wish to reduce moisture in the
cooker, remove the lid after cooking and turn the control to high (if
set to low or medium) and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes.
The lid is not a sealed fit. Don t remove unnecessarily as the built up
heat will escape. Each time you remove the lid, allow an additional
10 minutes to the cooking time.
If cooking soups, leave a 5 cm space between the top of the cook
pot and the food surface to allow simmering.
Many recipes demand all day cooking, if you do not have time to
prepare food that morning prepare it the night before and store the
food in a covered container in the refrigerator. Transfer the food to
the slow cooker and add liquid/gravy. Select the setting low, high
or medium.
Most meat and vegetable recipes require 8-10 hours on low. 4-6
hours on high and 5-7 hours on medium.
Some ingredients are not suitable for slow cooking. Pasta, seafood,
milk, and cream should be added towards the end of the cooking
time. Many things can affect how quickly a recipe will cook, water
and fat content, initial temperature of the food and the size of the
food.
Food cut into small pieces will cook quicker. A degree of trial and
error will be required to fully optimize the potential of your slow
cooker.
Vegetables usually take longer to cook than meat, so try and
arrange vegetables in the lower half of the pot.
After food is cooked, switch cooker off and leave covered with the
lid. There will be enough heat in the slow cooker to keep warm for
30 minutes. If you require longer to keep warm switch to the low
setting.
All food should be covered with a liquid, gravy or sauce. In a
separate pan or jug prepare your liquid, gravy or sauce and
completely cover the food in the slow cooker.

5
Care and Maintenance
Always make sure the slow cooker is unplugged and in the OFF position
before storing away or cleaning. Make sure the unit has cooled down
completely before cleaning.
- The ceramic insert is dishwasher safe or can also be cleaned with
warm soapy water. To remove any foods that have been cooked
onto the bottom of the pot, simply soak overnight in soapy water
and rinse the next day.
- Do not place a hot or warm ceramic insert into a cold environment
or it may result in cracking.
- The exterior of the slow cooker can be wiped with a damp cloth
and dried. DO NOT use harsh abrasive cleaner or scouring pad to
clean any part of the slow cooker as this will damage the surfaces.
- The glass lid is dishwasher safe once it has cooled down to room
temperature. Do not place a hot or warm glass lid into a cold
environment or it may result in cracking.
WARNING: NEVER SUBMERGE THE ENTIRE SLOW COOKER INTO WATER OR
ANY OTHER LIQUID OR THIS MAY DAMAGE THE SLOW COOKER.
