COMO USAR
COOKING:
• Place the base on a dry, level, heat resistant surface, away from the edge of the table surface. Do not
use on the floor.
• Place food and other ingredients into the ceramic pot, and place the pot into the base.
• Cover with the glass lid. If you need to pre-cook or brown foods prior to slow cooking, this must be done in
a pan. Do not try to brown or pre-cook food in the slow cooker.
• Set the control knob to the OFF position before plugging the unit into the main socket.
• Set the temperature to LOW or HIGH settings and cook according to the recipe.
• Do not exceed cooking for over 8-hours.
• Once food is finished cooking, you can switch off the slow cooker or set it to Keep Warm to keep food
warm up to 4 hours.
• To turn off, set the knob to OFF and unplug the slow cooker after cooking is complete and remove the
ceramic pot using heat resistant gloves or mitts.
• CAUTION: BE CAREFUL NOT TO TOUCH THE BASE UNIT AFTER COOKING AS IT WILL REMAIN HOT.
WARM FUNCTION:
• Food can be kept warm in the slow cooker for up to 4 hours. Pass 4 hours and food contents may start to
become dry or the flavor may alter.
• Food cooked in other appliances can be transferred to the slow cooker to keep warm as well
Suitable foods for slow cooking & preparation:
Most foods are suited to slow cooking methods; however there are a few guidelines that need to be followed.
• Cut root vegetables into small, even pieces, as they take longer to cook than meat. They should be gently
sautéed for 2-3 minutes before slow cooking. Ensure that root vegetables are always placed at the bottom of
the pot and all ingredients are immersed in the cooking liquid.
• Trim all excess fat from meat before cooking, since the slow cooking method does not allow
fat to evaporate.
• If adapting an existing recipe from conventional cooking, you may need to cut down on the amount f liquid
used. Liquid will not evaporate from the slow cooker to the same extent as with conventional cooking.
• Never leave uncooked food at room temperature in the slow cooker.
• Do not use the slow cooker to reheat food.
