Introduction to Using Your Slow Cooker
Calculating Cooking Time
Decide when you want to eat and when
you want to start cooking. If you want
to eat at 6p.m., and you need to start
cooking at 8a.m., ind a recipe that
takes 810 hours. If you’re slow cooking
at the low temperature setting, an extra
hour or so at the end of the cooking
time does not make much dierence, as
long as there’s suicient cooking liquid
to prevent the food from drying out or
burning.
Cutting Vegetables
An unusual characteristic of slow-
cooking is that most vegetables,
depending on their age, generally
cook slower than most meats. Most
vegetables should be cut into small
pieces, or at least quartered and placed
near the sides, or close to the bottom
of the slow cooker. Carrots should be
peeled and placed where they will be
completely covered with liquid.
Using Spices
Meats will pick up lavours from the
vegetables that they are cooked with.
This might give you more lavour
than you are used to. You can reduce
quantities of vegetables, such as onions
and carrots, if desired, to suit your
personal taste. The same applies to
fresh spices; a little goes a long way
in the slow cooker. Meats, especially
cubed for a stew, if not browned irst,
should be cleaned and carefully wiped
to remove particles normally disposed
of during browning to ensure the best
lavour, before cooking.
Due to the unique “wrap-around
side” heating element, low cooking
temperatures and long cooking times,
slow cooking cannot be compared
to oven or frying pan cooking. Slow
cooking is cooking at a very low
temperature, just below boiling point.
Since liquids do not boil there is little,
if any steam and no evaporation, foods
do not stick and virtually no stirring is
required.
• On the Low Temperature Setting,
the slow cooker can operate all day
and night if required.
• When set to the High Temperature
Setting, it is very much like a
covered pot on the stove. Foods
will cook in half the time required
for Low.
Preparing Meals in Advance
Prepare a recipe in advance the night
before in the removable enamel crock
and store it, covered in the refrigerator.
Do not put frozen food into the slow
cooker. All food must be fully thawed.
When you are ready to cook, transfer
the enamel crock to the slow cooker.
Important: The cooking vessel within
the slow cooker is enamel and it will
not withstand the shock of sudden
temperature changes. Do not place any
frozen or very cold foods, or store in
the refrigerator if the enamel crock has
been pre-heated or is hot to the touch.
The enamel crock is not suitable for
storing foods in the freezer.

Troubleshooting
There are no user serviceable parts
in this appliance. If the unit is not
operating correctly, please check the
following:
• You have followed the instructions
correctly.
• That the slow cooker is plugged
into the power supply.
• That the main power supply is ON.
• That the plug is irmly in the power
outlet.
12. Unplug the slow cooker when
cooking is done.
13. Using oven mitts, remove the lid,
and set it down on a heat-proof
surface, such as a trivet.
14. You may use oven mitts to lift the
crock out of the housing, but take
care as it could weigh as much as
7 kg (15 lb) when illed with food.
15. It is best to leave the crock in the
slow cooker housing, and ladle the
food from the crock into serving
dishes or plates.
16. DO NOT carry the crock in the
slow cooker housing; the trailing
cord may catch on something and
cause spilling.

1. Unplug the slow cooker from the
wall socket (switch the socket o
irst, if possible).
2. Using oven mitts, remove the lid
and the crock and put them on a
heat-proof surface.
3. Cleaning can be made much easier
if you remove all the cooked food
from the crock as soon as it is
cooked, and then ill the crock with
warm water to soak.
4. If you do not intend to wash the
crock right away, ill it with warm
water, otherwise residual heat may
bake food debris on to the crock,
making its removal more diicult.
5. DO NOT immerse the entire crock
in water. The base of the crock
is porous and may absorb water,
which may then cause it to crack
when heated.
6. Wash the lid and crock in hot soapy
water, using a cloth or sponge, then
rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not
use scouring pads.
7. DO NOT use bleach or other
abrasive substances or solvents as
they can be damaging to the inish.
8. You may wash the crock and lid
in a dishwasher, but the harsh
environment inside the dishwasher
may aect the surface inish of
the crock. Any damage should be
cosmetic, and should not aect the
functionality of the crock.
9. To clean the slow cooker housing,
wipe with a dry cloth. To remove
stubborn spots/marks, wipe the
surfaces with a cloth slightly
dampened in soapy water or mild
non-abrasive cleaner. Dry with a
clean, dry, soft cloth.
10. Dry thoroughly before using the
slow cooker or storing it away.
DO NOT immerse the slow cooker
housing in water or any other liquid.
DO NOT wash the slow cooker housing
in the dishwasher.
DO NOT use harsh or abrasive
cleanings, or scouring pads.
