Convenience: Prepare the ingredients the night before, put them in the slow cooker in the
morning before you leave for work and have a delicious meal waiting for you when you get
home.
COOKING MODES
• LOW for traditional slow cooking (typically 8-10 hours).
• HIGH for faster cooking (typically 4-5 hours).
• WARM for keeping food warm before serving (only after it has been fully cooked in the
slow cooker).
CAUTION Never use the LOW or WARM settings to reheat food.
USING YOUR SLOW COOKER
1. Place your slow cooker on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface.
2. Put the prepared ingredients into the cooking pot.
3. Put the cooking pot into the slow cooker then fit the lid.
4. Plug the slow cooker into a wall socket.
5. Turn the mode switch to LOW or HIGH as required. Cooking will start.
6. When cooking is finished turn the mode switch to the WARM position. If you want to serve
the food right away, turn the control to OFF and unplug your slow cooker. Don’t use the
WARM setting for longer than 4 hours.
7. Always use oven gloves when handling the lid or cooking pot.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Cleaning can be made much easier if you immediately remove all the cooked food from the
cooking pot, then fill it with warm water. Otherwise residual heat may bake food debris on to
the cooking pot, making its eventual removal more difficult.
1. Unplug your slow cooker and allow it to cool.
2. Wash the lid and cooking pot in hot soapy water, using a cloth or sponge, then rinse and
dry thoroughly. Don’t use scouring pads.
3. All other surfaces, internal and external, should be wiped with a damp cloth. You may use a
little washing-up liquid, if necessary.
4. Dry all surfaces thoroughly before re-using the slow cooker or storing it away.
5. You may wash the cooking pot and lid in a dishwasher, but the harsh environment inside
the dishwasher may affect the surface finishes. Any damage should be cosmetic, and
should not affect the functionality of the cooker.
COOKING GUIDELINES
General
• When testing a dish to see if it’s cooked, don’t forget that root vegetables usually take
longer to cook than the meat.
• Thaw frozen food completely before adding it to the cooking pot.
• Brown the meat and sauté the vegetables in a pan.
• Store ingredients prepared beforehand (e.g. the night before) in containers in the fridge.
Don’t put the slow cooker or the cooking pot into the fridge.
• When cooking with rice, use at least 150ml of cooking liquid for each 100g of rice. Easy-
cook style rice gives the best results.
• If your recipe requires pasta, it should be stirred in 30-40 minutes before the end of the
cooking time.
• Food can sometimes dry out on the HIGH setting. If it looks like drying out add a little hot
water.
