ABOUT SLOW COOKING
Slow cooking has always been the best way to prepare a nutritious hot meal with minimum
preparation and maximum free time away from the kitchen.
Traditionally slow cooking has centred on soups and casseroles, but you can also prepare most
family meals and dinner party dishes. The pot is convenient and good-looking enough to serve
from at your table as well. (Always place the ceramic pot on a heat-proof surface like a mat).
This method of cooking is ideal for preparing tougher meat cuts, giving them the long, gentle
simmering that ensures that they become tender and flavourful.
Before First Use
Carefully unpack your appliance and remove any labels or stickers from appliance. Wash the
ceramic cooking bowl and lid in warm, soapy water then rinse and dry with a dry towel.
Carefully wipe the exterior of the appliance to remove any dust that may have accumulated and
wipe the inside of the base with a damp cloth.
WARNING:
Do not immerse appliance base in
water or any other liquids.
Using Your Slow Cooker
Place the unit on a flat level surface. Place the inner ceramic cooking bowl into the appliance
and connect to a suitably earthed 220-240V ~ 50 Hz power supply. Add ingredients before
turning on.
Control Settings
LOW:
For longer cooking times at a very low temperature.
HIGH:
For shorter cooking times at a higher temperature. Food will cook in approximately half
the time taken for ‘Low’ setting
AUTO:
For cooking automatically with both high and low functions. The cooker will cook on
high at first and then automatically switch to low setting after an initial period.
First Time Use
Place 8-10 cups of cold water into the ceramic bowl. Select high setting and cook for
approximately 20-30 minutes. Turn slow cooker switch to ‘OFF’ position, disconnect from the
power supply and allow water to cool down completely. Discard this water, rinse, dry and
replace the ceramic pot in the slow cooker. NOTE: The first time you use your slow cooker
there may be a small amount of smoke and smell. This is normal.
