• Most foods are suited to slow cooking methods, however,
there are a few guidelines that should be followed.
• Ensure all frozen ingredients are thoroughly defrosted prior to
cooking.
• Cut root vegetables into small, even pieces, as they take
longer to cook than meat. They can be gently sauteed for 2-3
minutes before slow cooking. Ensure that root vegetables
are always placed at the bottom of the cooking pot and all
ingredients are immersed in the cooking liquid.
• Trim all excess fat from meat before cooking, as the slow
cooking method does not allow fat to evaporate.
• If adapting an existing recipe from conventional cooking, you
may need to reduce the amount of liquid used. Liquid will
not evaporate from your Slow Cooker to the same extent as
conventional cooking.
• Never leave uncooked food at room temperature in your Slow
Cooker.
• Uncooked beans and pulses should be soaked overnight
and drained, rinsed and then boiled for at least 10 minutes to
remove toxins before use in a Slow Cooker.
• Insert a meat thermometer into joints of roasts, hams or
whole chickens to ensure they are cooked to the desired
temperature.
• Do not use your Slow Cooker to reheat food.
• The Slow Cooker must be at least half full for best results.
• If cooking soups, leave a 5cm gap from the rim of the cooking
pot and the food surface to allow for simmering.
TIPS FOR YOUR SLOW COOKER
17
• Removing the glass lid will allow heat to escape, reducing the
efficiency of your Slow Cooker and increasing the cooking time.
If you remove the lid to stir or add ingredients, you will need to
allow extra cooking time for each time you remove the glass lid.
• Pieces of food cut into small pieces will cook quicker. A degree
of ‘trial and error’ will be required to fully optimise the potential
of your Slow Cooker.
• Many things can affect how quickly a recipe will cook, including
water and fat content, initial temperature of the food and the
size of the food. Check food is properly cooked before serving.
• Many recipes will take several hours to cook. If you don’t have
time to prepare food in the morning, prepare it the night before,
storing the food in a covered container in the fridge. Transfer
the food to the cooking pot and add boiling liquid/stock.
• Some ingredients are not suitable for slow cooking. Pasta,
seafood, milk and cream should be added towards the end of
the cooking time.
• When cooking joints of meat, ham, poultry etc, the size and
shape of the joint is important. Try to keep the joint in the lower
2/3 of the pot. If necessary, cut into two pieces. Joint weight
should be kept within the maximum limit of 1kg.
• For ham and brisket fill with hot water to just cover the joint.
For beef, pork or poultry cover to 1/3 depth.
• Depending on the ingredients, slow cooking can take between
3 and 12 hours for best results.
• Searing or Browning prior to slow cooking is recommended but
not necessary. Searing and Browning helps seal in moisture,
and provides most tender results.
TIPS FOR YOUR SLOW COOKER
18
• The Slow Cooker has a preset Steam function and comes
equipped with a steam rack. Food can be steamed by placing
it on the tray over water or stock in the cooking pot. Ensure the
food sits above the water level in the cooking pot. Steamed
foods are known to retain most of their nutritional value,
making it a healthier way to cook.
• Before steaming, make sure the cooking pot is clean.
• It is recommended not to open the glass lid until the function
finishes and food is cooked. Opening the lid during steaming
will allow steam to escape and may delay the cooking time.
• Securely place the steam rack into the cooking pot.
• Add no more than 1.25L of liquid into the cooking pot,
ensuring that the liquid sits just below the level of the tray.
• Food can be steamed on the steam rack before the preset
Steam function is selected or once the liquid is boiling. It can
take approximately 10 minutes for 1.25L of liquid to begin
boiling.
• The steaming function cooking time can be adjusted by using
the + & - buttons. Please allow additional time for the liquid to
reach boiling temperature
• It is important to monitor the level of liquid in the cooking pot
while using the Steam function. If more hot liquid is required,
please use caution as steam will escape and use oven gloves
to avoid scalding.
• Remove cooked food using tongs from the steam rack or use
oven gloves to remove the steaming tray from the cooking pot
and place on a heat resistant surface.
TIPS FOR STEAMING
19
• WARNING: Do NOT immerse the base unit in water.
• Turn off and unplug the Slow Cooker from the mains. Allow to
cool completely before cleaning.
• To prevent damage to the appliance do not use alkaline
cleaning agents when cleaning, use a soft cloth and a mild
detergent.
• The unit should be cleaned with a damp cloth and immediately
wiped dry. Do not use detergents or chemical cleaning agents
to clean the unit.
• Remove the steam rack, glass lid and cooking pot and clean in
hot soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
• The cooking pot, glass lid, spoon and steam rack are
dishwasher safe. However, it is recommended to hand wash
all parts in hot soapy water. Do NOT immerse the base unit in
water.
• Please handle the glass lid and cooking pot carefully. Do not
use the glass lid if chipped, cracked or severely scratched.
• Avoid sudden and extreme temperature changes to the glass
lid. For example, do not place a hot lid into cold water or onto
a wet surface. Avoid hitting the glass lid against any hard
surfaces.
• Never heat the cooking pot when empty. When searing or
browning, add meat as soon as the oil is hot.
• Never place the glass lid, steaming tray or cooking pot under a
grill, in an oven, toaster oven or microwave.
• Do not use metal utensils when searing or to stir food in the
cooking pot as this will scratch and remove the non-stick
coating. Use either wooden or silicone plastic utensils.
CARE AND CLEANING

TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Water Burn Dry Protection (Er)
• During the Steam function, if the water boils dry and the
temperature at the bottom of the cooking pot reaches 135°C,
the base unit will automatically stop heating.
• The LED screen will blink and display the remaining time and
stops counting down. The unit will beep for 2 seconds and
then enters a protection state for 3 minutes to analyse the
error.
• During the 3 mins in the protection state, unless water is
added or the CANCEL button is pressed to return to standby
state, it will re-start cooking after you add water and the
temperature reaches 95°C. If water is not added to the pot, the
beeping will stop after 3 mins and Er shows on the display.
2. Over Temperature Protection (E5)
• During the White Rice, Brown Rice, Steam, Keep Warm and
Slow Cooker High & Low functions, if the temperature of
the pot bottom reaches 185°C, the unit will start the over
temperature protection.
• During the Sear, Fry & Roast functions, if the temperature
of the pot bottom reaches 225°C, the until will start the over
temperature protection.
