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.

ASSEMBLY

1. Place the cooking bowl into the heating base.
2. Attach the lid by inserting the hinge mechanism into the hinge slot at the rear of the heating base.

REMOVABLE COOKING BOWL

The aluminium 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.

HOW TO USE YOUR SAUTÉ SLOW COOKER

1. Place the cooking bowl into the heating base, making sure that the handles on the bowl line up with the handles on the

heating base. Attach the lid

. Add your ingredients to the cooking bowl and close the lid.

2. Plug in your slow cooker 

and select the high ( ) or low ( ) cooking temperature using the temperature selector.

Note: The warm setting   is ONLY for keeping food warm that has already been cooked. DO NOT cook on the warm

setting. We do not recommend using the warm setting for more than 4 hours.

3. When cooking has finished, unplug your slow cooker and allow it to cool before cleaning.
We recommend that you use a non-metallic ladle to serve food from the cooking bowl. Don’t use a metal utensil as this can 

damage the DuraCeramic

™

 coating of the bowl.

USAGE NOTES

•

To avoid over or under-cooking, always fill the cooking bowl ½ to ¾ full and conform to the recommended cooking

times.

•

Do not overfill the cooking bowl. To prevent spillover, do not fill the cooking bowl higher than ¾ full.

•

If desired, you can manually switch to the warm setting   when your recipe has finished cooking.

•

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. Beware of escaping steam when opening

the lid.

•

To remove the cooking bowl from the heating base, open the lid slowly and lift the lid upwards and out of the hinge

mechanism. Lift the cooking bowl carefully upwards and out of the heating base.

Unplug when cooking has finished and before cleaning.
