Before using the SLOW COOKER for the rst time :
- Remove the appliance from the box. Remove any packing from the product.
Place the packing inside the box and either store or dispose of safely.
- Wash the ceramic pot and glass lid in hot soapy water with a sponge or a dish
cloth, rinse thoroughly and dry.
IMPORTANT : DO NOT IMMERSE THE SLOW COOKER BASE IN WATER.
Note : During initial use you may notice a slight odor due to the burning off
of manufacturing residues. This is completely normal and will disappear after
using the unit for some time.
COOKING:
- Place the base on a dry, level, heat resistant surface, away from the edge of
the table surface. Do not use on the oor.
- 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 nished 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.
WARM FUNCTION :
- Food can be kept warm in the slow cooker for up to 4 hours. Pass 4 hours and
food contents may start to become dry or the avor may alter.
- Food cooked in other appliances can be transferred to the slow cooker to
keep warm as well.
Suitable foods for slow cooking & preparation :
Most foods are suited to slow cooking methods; however there are a few
guidelines that need to be followed.
- Cut root vegetables into small, even pieces, as they take longer to cook
than meat. They should be gently sautéed for 2-3 minutes before slow cooking.
Ensure that root vegetables are always placed at the bottom of the pot and
all ingredients are immersed in the cooking liquid.
- Trim all excess fat from meat before cooking, since the slow cooking method
does not allow fat to evaporate.

- Uncooked red beans must be soaked and boiled for at least 10 minutes to
remove toxins before use in a health cooker.
- Authentic stoneware is red at high temperatures; therefore the ceramic pot
may have minor surface blemishes and the glass lid may rock slightly due to
these imperfections. Low heat cooking does not produce steam so there will
be little heat loss. Due to normal wear and tear through the products life, the
outer surface may start appearing “crazed”.
- Do not put the ceramic pot or glass lid in an oven, freezer, and microwave or
on a gas/electrical hob.
- Do not subject the ceramic pot to sudden changes in temperature. Adding
cold water to a very hot pot could cause it to crack.
- Do not allow the pot to stand in water for a long time (You can leave water
in the pot to soak).
- There is an area on the base of the ceramic pot that has to remain unglazed
for manufacturing purposes. This unglazed area is porous and will soak up
water when immersed in it. This should be avoided.
- Do not switch the cooker on when the ceramic pot is empty or out of the
base.
Tips for slow cooking :
- The slow cooker pot must be at least half full for best results.
- 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 auto)
and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes.
- The lid is not a sealed t. 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 ceramic pot and add
liquid/gravy. Select the setting low, high or auto.
- Most meat and vegetable recipes require 8-10 hours on low. 4-6 hours on
high.
- Food can be kept warm in the slow cooker for up to 4 hours. Pass 4 hours and
food contents may start to become dry or the avor may alter. Food cooked in
other appliances can be transferred to the slow cooker to keep warm as well.
- 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 more quickly. A degree of ‘trial and error’
will be required to fully optimize the potential of your slow cooker.
- Root 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 ceramic pot to keep warm for 30 minutes. If you
require longer to keep warm switch to the low setting.
14
- All food may 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
ceramic pot.
- Pre-browning meat and onions in a pan to seal in the juices also reduces the
fat content before adding to the ceramic pot. This improves the avor but is
not necessary if time is limited.
- When cooking joints of meat, ham, and poultry etc the size and shape of the
joint is important. Try to keep the joint in the lower 2/3 of the pot and fully cover
with water. If necessary, cut in two pieces. Joint weight should be kept within
the maximum limit.
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 stoneware 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.
- 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 surface.
Warning :
1.Never Submerge The entire slow cooker into water or any other liquid,
otherwise it may damage the slow cooker.
2.Never put the glass lid and ceramic pot into the dishwasher to clean,
