Using Your Appliance
Preparing Your Appliance:
1. Place the base of the slow cooker on a flat, dry, heat resistant surface.
2. Place your prepared ingredients into the cooking pot and cover with a glass lid. Ensure the
lid is centred. Fill the pot between 1/2 and 3/4 capacity to avoid over or under-cooking. Do not
overfill the cooking pot.
3. Plug the slow cooker into the mains outlet and turn the temperature control dial to any
position other than Off. The power indicator light will come on to show the slow cooker has
been plugged in, and the unit will automatically start to operate in the selected setting.
CAUTION: Make sure the temperature control dial is set to the OFF position before plugging in the
appliance.
4. When the food is ready, carefully remove the cooking pot from the slow cooker base.
CAUTION: ALWAYS wear oven gloves when handling the slow cooker’s hot surfaces, including the
cooking pot and glass lid.
Note: When removing the Glass Lid, tilt it so that the opening faces away from you to avoid being
burnt by steam.
5. Do not place the heated cooking pot on any surfaces affected by heat. Use a hot pad or trivet
to protect any surfaces. Take extra care when moving a cooking pot containing hot liquids.
6. Unplug the slow cooker from the mains and allow the appliance enough time to cool
completely before cleaning and storing.
Note: Always cook with the Glass Lid on and follow recommended cooking times.
Temperature Control Settings:
Note: Do not use frozen meat. Thaw meat before slow cooking.
LOW: The LOW heat setting gently simmers food for an extended period of time without
overcooking or burning. No stirring is required when using this setting. Ideal for
vegetable dishes and reheating.
Note: When using the LOW setting to cook meat dishes, the meat should be browned first.
Tip: 1 hour of cooking on HIGH equals 2 ½ hours on LOW.
HIGH: The HIGH heat setting is ideal for use when cooking dried beans and pulses. The
HIGH setting cooks food in about half the time required for the LOW heat setting.
As food will boil when cooked on the HIGH heat setting, it may be necessary to add
extra liquid, depending on the recipe and the amount of time in which it is cooked.
Occasional stirring of stews and casseroles will improve the flavour distribution.
CAUTION: Monitor food more regularly when cooking on the HIGH setting.
