Using the Temperature Control Settings 

LOW Setting

The LOW setting gently simmers 

food for an extended period of time 

without overcooking or burning. 

Generally no stirring is required when 

using this setting.

HIGH Setting

The HIGH setting is ideal when 

cooking dried beans or pulses and will 

cook food in half the time required for 

the 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.

KEEP WARM Setting

The KEEP WARM setting is used to keep 

cooked foods at serving temperature. 

It is not a cooking setting and should 

only be used after first cooking on 

the LOW or HIGH setting. It is not 

recommended to keep food on the 

KEEP WARM setting for more than  

4 hours.

Slow cooking involves simmering food 

for long periods of time to ensure the 

food is moist, tender and full of flavour. 

Depending on the ingredients and 

temperature setting, slow cooking 

can take between 2 - 12 hours.
Here is a guide to help simplify the 

process of slow cooking, helping you 

to achieve delicious results everytime.

Timing

Always allow sufficient time for the 

food to cook. Depending on the 

size, type and temperature of the 

ingredients, creating a slow cooked 

meal can take between 2 - 12 hours.
Most of the recipes in this instruction 

booklet can be cooked on the HIGH 

or LOW setting, however the cooking 

times will vary accordingly. Each 

recipe will give specific instructions 

indicating the appropriate settings 

and suggested cooking times.

Adapting Cooking Times

Your favourite traditional recipes can 

be adapted easily by halving the 

amount of liquid and increasing the 

cooking time considerably. The below 

table is a guide to adjusting your 

favourite recipes.

NOTE: 

High humidity, altitude, 

and the preparation and 

temperature of ingredients may 

affect the cooking times when 

using the slow cooker.

NOTE: 

These times are 

approximate. Times can vary 

depending on ingredients and 

quantities in recipes.
