otherwise, after a final warning consisting of 10
beeps, the slow cooker will switch off.
• The temperature booster ensures a build-up of heat in

Warm function - fig. 7.

Transporting the slow cooker
• Always move the slow cooker with the lid closed.
• If you wish to move the slow cooker while the keep
warm function is on, you just need to unplug it. You
then have up to 10 minutes to plug it in again. It will
then restart in keep warm mode.
• If during transport, the temperature inside the slow
cooker gets too low, the cooker will not switch on
again when you next plug it in. In this case you need
to restart the cooking in either High or Low mode,
then allow you to go into Keep Warm function.

cooking.
Advice on getting the best out of your slow cooker
• Vegetables stew slowly, so therefore they have to be cut up into small or
medium size pieces and placed at the bottom of the cooking pot.
• Do not fill the slow cooker’s cooking pot more than three quarters full.
• Meats can be precooked, browned or grilled to get rid of as much fat as possible.
• DO NOT USE FROZEN MEAT.
• DEFROST ALL MEATS BEFORE COOKING THEM IN THE SLOW COOKER.
• You can brown minced meat , like beef or turkey meat, before putting them in the
slow cooker, in order to remove the excess fat.
• Unplug the slow cooker when it is not in use or before cleaning it.
• Always wear oven gloves when the slow cooker is hot and you wish to move it.
• Always make sure the lid is on during cooking.

they release their flavors better during slow cooking.

process, unless your recipe specifies otherwise.
• Avoid sudden changes in temperatures. For example, do not add food which has
just come out of the freezer directly into the hot slow cooker .
• Always place some form of protection under the cooking pot before placing it
on a table or work surface.
• Do not put anything under the appliance during the cooking process.
