Tips for Rice / Pasta
• Thoroughly wash the rice in several changes
of water and drain.
• You may need to adjust the amount of water
added. For softer rice or pasta, add a little
more water.
• A thin crust of rice may form on the base,
particularly when cooking Italian or easy-
cook type rice, or when cooking smaller
quantities. Wiping half a teaspoon of oil over
the base may help reduce this forming.
• Remove the rice / pasta when cooking has
finished using a large draining spoon, as the
bowl should only be removed once cooled.

water markings inside the bowl. For

and transfer to the bowl. Add enough cold
water to cover the pasta.
• Program intellichef as explained above.

Tips for Stew / Slow Cook
• The STEW program cooks on a high heat
for 1- 4 hours whereas the SLOW COOK
program cooks on a gentle heat for 5 – 10
hours. The SLOW COOK program is a great
way to cook less-expensive cuts of meat
such as stewing beef, which are tenderised
through the long cooking process. Certain
less-expensive cuts of meat may not
therefore be suitable for the STEW program.
• Make sure all frozen ingredients are well
thawed out.
• Cut root vegetables into small even pieces,
as they take longer to cook than meat. They
should be sautéed for 2-3 mins before slow
cooking. Ensure that root vegetables are
always placed at the bottom of the bowl
and all ingredients are immersed in the
cooking liquid.
• Trim all excess fat from meat before cooking
to prevent grease gathering in the bowl.
• If adapting an existing recipe from
conventional cooking, you may need to cut
down the amount of liquid used. Liquid will
not evaporate to the same extent as with
conventional cooking.
• Uncooked red kidney beans must be
soaked and boiled for at least 10 minutes to
remove toxins before use in a slow cooker.
• Insert a meat thermometer into joints of
roasts or hams to ensure they are cooked to
the desired temperature.
Reheat
• Press the MENU button until the dot
appears next to REHEAT. A default time of
25 mins will appear N.
• To adjust, press the COOK TIME button and
then the MINUTE button. The minimum time
that can be set is 8 mins and the maximum
is 25 mins O.
• Close the lid and press START O.
• Ensure food is thoroughly heated through
before consuming.
Keep Warm
• The KEEP WARM program will start
automatically after cooking has finished and
will keep food warm for 2 hrs.
• A red light will appear to indicate the KEEP
WARM program is selected and the display
will return to zero and will count up P.
• Press the OFF / KEEP WARM button to stop
the KEEP WARM program. The red light on
the START button will flash to indicate the
appliance is now in standby.
• To resume the KEEP WARM program, press
the OFF / KEEP WARM button again.
• We suggest that if food is not consumed
within these two hours, it should be
discarded.
