PREPARING FOR USE
Before you use your Crock-Pot
®
sauté slow cooker, remove all packaging and wash the lid and removable cooking bowl
with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. We recommend that you wash the removable cooking bowl by hand only, with
a non-abrasive cleaning product and cloth, to preserve the DuraCeramic
™
coating. Never immerse the heating base, power
cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
IMPORTANT NOTES: Some countertop and table surfaces are not designed to withstand the prolonged heat generated by
certain appliances. Do not set the heated unit or cooking bowl on a heat sensitive surface. We recommend placing a hot
pad or trivet under your slow cooker to prevent possible damage to the surface.
During initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke or odour may be detected. This is normal with many heating
appliances and will not recur after a few uses.
REMOVABLE COOKING BOWL
The removable cooking bowl features the exclusive DuraCeramic
™
coating. This specialised natural ceramic coating is
designed to transfer heat quicker and more efficiently than standard non-stick coatings – meaning faster cooking times for
your delicious home-cooked meals. In addition, the DuraCeramic
™
coating is scratch resistant – this is a product built to
last. Peace of mind comes from the fact that DuraCeramic
™
is PTFE and PFOA free, so this coating is durable and easy to
clean.
DuraCeramic
™
coating – designed to handle whatever you throw at it with ease.
The die-cast removable cooking bowl and glass lid are designed to withstand extreme temperatures and can even be used
in your oven. You can also store the cooking bowl in your refrigerator or freezer. The cooking bowl can then be placed
directly into the heating base straight from the refrigerator (always allow any frozen foods to fully defrost before cooking).
This versatility allows you to prepare foods, slow cook, store leftovers and reheat them using the same cooking bowl.
The high-sided design and glass lid prevent foods from spitting and splashing during cooking. Use your cooking bowl for
sautéing, frying, browning/sealing, stir-frying etc. It also makes a great cooking pot ideal for cooking large quantities of food.
HOW TO USE YOUR SAUTÉ SLOW COOKER
1. Place the cooking bowl into the heating base, add your ingredients and cover with the lid. Plug in your sauté slow
cooker.
2. Select the temperature setting using the temperature select button
G

3. Press the timer up/down buttons
H
to select a cooking time. The time can be set in increments of 30 minutes up to

USAGE NOTES
• If the mains power has been interrupted (power cut), the display and lights will flash when the power is restored. All the
slow cooker settings will have been lost. As a result, the food may be unsafe to eat. If you are unaware of how long the
power was off, we suggest you discard the food inside.
• If desired, you can manually switch to the WARM setting when your recipe has finished cooking.
• To avoid over or under-cooking, always fill the cooking bowl ½ to ¾ full and conform to the recommended cooking
times.
• Always cook with the lid on for the recommended time. Do not remove the lid during the first two hours of cooking to
allow the heat to build up efficiently.
• Always wear oven gloves when handling the lid or removable cooking bowl.
• Unplug when cooking has finished and before cleaning.

COOKING HINTS AND TIPS
PASTA AND RICE:
• For best results, use long grain rice unless the recipe states otherwise. If the rice is not cooked completely after the
suggested time, add an extra 1 to 1½ cups of liquid per cup of cooked rice and continue cooking for 20 to 30 minutes.
• For best pasta results, add the pasta to the slow cooker during the last 30–60 minutes of cook time.
BEANS:
• Dried beans, especially red kidney beans, should be boiled before adding to a recipe.
• Fully cooked canned beans may be used as a substitute for dried beans.
VEGETABLES:
• Many vegetables benefit from slow cooking and are able to develop their full flavour. They tend not to overcook in your
slow cooker as they might in your oven or on your hob.
• When cooking recipes with vegetables and meat, place vegetables into the slow cooker before meat. Vegetables
usually cook more slowly than meat in the slow cooker and benefit from being partially immersed in the cooking liquid.
• Place vegetables near the bottom of the cooking bowl to help cooking.
MILK:
• Milk, cream, and sour cream break down during extended cooking. When possible, add during the last 15 to 30
minutes of cooking.
• Condensed soups may be substituted for milk and can cook for extended times.
SOUPS:
• Some recipes call for large amounts of water/stock. Add the soup ingredients to the slow cooker first then add water/
stock only to cover. If a thinner soup is desired, add more liquid when serving.
MEATS:
• Trim fat, rinse well, and pat meat dry with paper towels.
• Browning meat beforehand allows fat to be drained off before slow cooking and also adds greater depth of flavour.
• Meat should be positioned so that it rests in the cooking bowl without touching the lid.
• For smaller or larger cuts of meat, alter the amount of vegetables or potatoes so that the bowl is always ½ to ¾ full.
• The size of the meat and the recommended cooking times are just estimates and can vary depending upon the specific
cut, type, and bone structure. Lean meats such as chicken or pork tenderloin tend to cook faster than meats with
more connective tissue and fat such as beef chuck or pork shoulder. Cooking meat on the bone versus boneless will
increase the required cooking time.
• Cut meat into smaller pieces when cooking with precooked foods such as beans or fruit, or light vegetables such as
mushrooms, diced onion, aubergine, or finely chopped vegetables. This enables all food to cook at the same rate.
FISH:
• Fish cooks quickly and should be added at the end of the cooking cycle during the last fifteen minutes to one hour of
cooking.
LIQUID:
• It might appear that slow cooker recipes only have a small quantity of liquid in them but the slow cooking process
differs from other cooking methods in that the added liquid in the recipe will almost double during the cooking time. If
you are adapting a recipe for your slow cooker from a conventional recipe, please reduce the amount of liquid before
cooking.

CLEANING
ALWAYS unplug your slow cooker from the electrical outlet, and allow it to cool before cleaning.
CAUTION: Never immerse the heating base, power cord or plug in water or any other liquid.
Wash the glass lid and removable bowl with hot, soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaning compounds or scouring pads.
A cloth, sponge, or rubber spatula will usually remove any food residue.
We recommend that you wash the removable cooking bowl by hand only, with a non-abrasive cleaning product and cloth, to
preserve the DuraCeramic
™
coating.
The outside of the heating base may be cleaned with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water. Wipe dry. Do not use abrasive
cleaners.
No other servicing should be performed.
NOTE: After cleaning by hand allow the cooking bowl to air dry before storing.
