THE SWITCH 

The slow cooker is controlled by a 4-position switch:

Off  

The slow cooker is switched off and the power light is off.

Low

  Cooks at low power. Use this setting only after preheating the slow cooker on High for  at least 20 minutes.

High

  Cooks at maximum power. Take care that the food does not dry out. If additional  liquid is required, it should be preheated before 

adding to avoid possible cracking of  the ceramic bowl. Cool liquids can be safely added in small amounts to the middle ofthe 
food, away from the sides of the ceramic bowl.

Auto

  When set on Auto, the slow cooker begins cooking on High until it reaches  temperature. Then a thermostat switches the slow  

cooker automatically to Low, and remains on Low for the remaining duration of cooking time, until switched Off.

NOTE

: Auto setting does not switch the slow cooker off at any given time. You must turn the control dial to Off to stop cooking.

THE BENEFITS OF SLOW COOKING

1.  Health - Cooking in a slow cooker does not require 

any added oil or fats.

2.  Economy - Long slow cooking can tenderise the 

cheaper, tougher cuts of meat and uses significantly 

less power than an oven or the small ring on the 

average cook top.

3.  Convenience - Prepare the ingredients the night 

before, put them in the slow cooker in the morning 

and have a delicious meal waiting for you when you 

get home. 

BEFORE FIRST USE

1.   All parts of the Slow Cooker need to be thoroughly 

cleaned before being used for the first time (see ‘Care 

and Maintenance).
