Once the cooking time reaches zero, the
slow cooker will beep five times, before
automatically switching to KEEP WARM,
the corresponding light will illuminate. The
automatic keep warm will operate for up to
4 hours before switching to standby mode.
The LOW slow cook setting gently heats
food for an extended period of time without
overcooking or burning. No stirring is required
when using this setting.
The HIGH slow cook setting will cook food in
approximately half the time required for LOW
setting. Some foods may boil when cooked on
the HIGH setting, so it may be necessary to
add extra liquid. This will depend on the recipe
and the amount of time in which it is cooked.
Occasional stirring of stews and casseroles will
improve the flavour distribution.
For more information, refer to the Slow
Cooking Guide on page 14 of this manual.
WARNING
If you are not home during the slow cooking
process and the power goes out, throw away
the food even if it looks cooked.
CAUTION
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use the handle
for lifting and carrying the slow cooker and
use dry oven mitts to remove the lid and or
removable cooking bowl. Lift and remove the
lid carefully and angled away from you to avoid
scalding from escaping steam. Allow the slow
cooker to cool completely before moving or
cleaning any parts.
CAUTION
Extreme caution must be used when the slow
cooker contains hot food and liquids.
WARNING
The temperature of accessible surfaces will be
high when the slow cooker is operating and for
some time after use.
STEAM
Before steaming, ensure that the cooking bowl
is clean. Place the steaming trivet into the base
of the cooking bowl.. Place 1
–
1.3L of water
into the cooking bowl, ensuring that it sits just
below the level of the steaming trivet.
Depending on the food and desired cooking
result, the food to be steamed can either
be placed on the steaming trivet before the
function is selected or once the water is boiling.
It will take approximately 10 minutes for 1–1.3L
of water to start boiling.
Place the food to be steamed onto the trivet
and place the lid onto the cooking bowl and
lock in place. For best results, do not open
the lid until food is cooked, Opening the lid
will allow steam to escape and will result in a
prolonged cooking time.
Use the MENU button to select the STEAM
function, then use the
+
and
–
buttons to
adjust the required steaming time. Ensure that
you allow enough time for the water to boil.
While steaming, monitor the water levels in
the cooking bowl. If more water is required,
unlock and remove the lid using dry heat proof
mitts, top up with hot water before closing and
relocking the lid.
Once steaming is complete, use heat-proof
mitts to remove the trivet from the cooking
bowl. Alternatively, use tongs to remove
steamed food from the trivet and allow the
trivet to completely cool before removing it
from the cooking bowl.
For more information, refer to the Steaming
Guide page 16 of this manual.
