3. The tempered glass lid and ceramic bowl are dishwasher safe or can be cleaned

with warm soapy water.

4. Let the unit dry completely before using.

5. Set the unit on a secure table or counter.

6. We recommend keeping all the packaging material in a safe place in case at any

time you wish to re-pack the product for shipping purposes.

USING THE SLOW COOKER

1. Always ensure the temperature control knob is set to the OFF position for the

temperature settings that are not in use.

2. Place the ceramic bowl into the cavity of the slow cooker.

3. Prepare desired food and place ingredients into the ceramic bowl.

4. Place the lid securely on the ceramic bowl.

5. Plug the unit into the electrical outlet.

6. Select desired temperature setting, LOW, HIGH or KEEP WARM.

7. We do not recommend using the KEEP WARM setting for more than four hours.

8. The KEEP WARM setting is only for keeping food warm which has already been

cooked.

9. Refer to your favourite recipe, add foods and follow appropriate cooking times.

10. When the cooking cycle is complete, set the control knob to KEEP WARM.

11. Place the bowl in a suitable location for serving.

position, unplug the unit and wait until all parts and accessories have cooled

completely before cleaning.

COOKING HINTS

1. Do not fill ceramic bowl past 3/4 full. Some foods may expand during cooking

and this may result in food spilling over.

2. Always cook with the lid in place. Avoid removing lid to check progress while

cooking for the first two hours. This may result in heat loss and delay the cooking

cycle.

3. Always wear protective oven mitts when handling parts and accessories when

the unit is on.

4. Unplug the unit when it is empty or not in use.

5. If the power or heat has been turned off for any extended period of time, the food

inside the container may no longer be safe to eat. It is recommended the food be

discarded due to health and safety reasons.

6. Do not use the ceramic bowl in an oven, microwave or directly on a stove-top.

Preparing in Advance

Prepare a recipe in advance the night before in the removable ceramic bowl and store it,

covered, in the refrigerator. When you are ready to cook, transfer the ceramic bowl to

the slow cooker.

Important: The cooking bowl within the slow cooker is ceramic, and as with any fine

ceramic, it will not withstand the shock of sudden temperature changes. Do not place

any frozen or very cold foods in it, or store in the refrigerator if the ceramic bowl has

been pre-heated or hot to the touch. The ceramic bowl is not suitable for storing foods in

the freezer.

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.

Spicing up your Cooking

Meats will pick up flavours from the vegetables they are cooked with. This might give

you more flavour 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 first, should be cleaned and carefully wiped to remove particles normally

disposed of during browning to ensure the best flavour, before cooking.

Cooking Times

Altitude, high humidity and slight fluctuations in power can slightly alter cooking times in

a slow cooker. Allow plenty of time –it is almost impossible to overcook.

It is seldom necessary to stir while cooking on 1 (Low) setting. When cooking on 2

(High) setting, occasional stirring may be necessary and will improve the distribution of

flavours throughout the food.

Additional liquid may also be required, as food will boil in setting 2 (High). Make sure the

slow cooker has not been pre-heated. Most recipes including the recipes in this manual

require cooking times of 8 to 10 hours. From experience, you will learn whether to use

the shorter or longer times given in the recipes. If foods are cooked more than you

desire, or end up with too much liquid, it is probably due to not trimming excess fat from

meats or adding too much liquid as the liquid content of meats and vegetables will vary.

Any excess liquid can be reduced by removing the cover and switching the slow cooker

to 2 (High) for approximately 45 minutes.

Hints for Using Standard Recipes in your Slow Cooker

Cooking in a slow cooker is very different to oven or frying pan cooking. Using the

following hints you can prepare and cook your favourite recipes in the slow cooker:-

If using fresh milk or yoghurt only add to the slow cooker during the last 2 hours of

cooking. Evaporated milk may be added at the start of cooking.

Rice, noodles and pasta are not recommended for long cooking periods. Cook them

separately then add to the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cooking.

Wine can add flavour and tenderness to meat. Substitute part wine for water for richer

flavour.

Whole leaf herbs are best for prolonged cooking in your slow cooker, but decrease the

quantity in the standard recipe by a quarter.

Very little moisture boils away in the slow cooker, so in most cases the liquid quantity in

the standard recipes can be halved. If you find you have too much liquid, remove the

cover and switch the slow cooker to setting 2 (High) for 30-45 minutes to reduce.

Cooking times for conventional recipes have to be considerably increased when cooking

in a slow cooker. For example, food that will cook in 30 minutes conventionally, will take

4 –5 hours slow cooking on 1 (Low).

Recipes calling for 1 hour will take 6 –8 hours on 1 (Low) in the slow cooker. Food that

will cook for 1 –3 hours, conventionally, will take 8 –12 hours on 1 (Low).

Without browning, some meat and poultry may come out bland and appearance will be

unappetizing when cooked in the slow cooker.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Be sure the product is turned OFF and disconnected from the power supply before

cleaning.

Allow the product to completely cool down.

It is much easier to clean the accessories directly after they have been used.

Do not immerse the unit in water or any other liquid, or hold it under a tap to clean.

The tempered glass lid and ceramic bowl are dishwasher safe. They can also be

washed in hot, soapy water.

Do not use abrasive cleaning tools such as scouring pads. A soft cloth, sponge or rubber

spatula can be used to remove any food residue.

To clean hard-to-remove food particles or water spots, use a non-abrasive cleanser or

vinegar.

Do not allow sudden temperature changes for both the lid and ceramic bowl. Sudden

changes in temperature may result in cracks or breakage of these parts.

The exterior of the main cooking base can be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. Wipe dry

thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.

CAUTION: Do not immerse the base in water or other liquids.

After each use, wash the ceramic bowl and cover in warm soapy water. Dry with a

clean, soft cloth before storage, or re-connecting to the power supply.

NOTE: If food sticks to the ceramic bowl, fill the bowl with hot, soapy water and let it

stand for several minutes before washing.

Important: Do not use metallic pads, abrasive or harsh cleaners as they may scratch

the glazed surfaces of the ceramic bowl.

Clean the base of the product by wiping with a slightly dampened soft cloth. To remove

water spots and other stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner or weak vinegar solution.

Remove stubborn spots with a cloth moistened with sudsy water or a mild, non-abrasive

cleaner. Avoid the use of scouring pads, harsh detergents, solvents, polish, abrasives or

aerosol cleaners as they may damage surfaces of the product. Dry with a clean, soft

cloth before storage, or re-connecting to the power supply.

The ceramic bowl and lid can be totally immersed for washing and are completely

Automatic Dishwasher safe.
