BEFORE USE
Remove all packaging from the product. Check that the voltage of the
appliance corresponds to the mains voltage of your home. This appliance
is fitted with an earth for extra safety. Wash the glass bowl and lid in hot
soapy water, rinse well and dry thoroughly.
Ensure operation area is well ventilated.
HAND TIPS
Your new slow cooker is designed to gently cook your food; the longer
the cooking time the more the flavours will develop and infuse. The
recipes can be hurried along, but it is not recommended. One hour of
HIGH generally equals two hours of LOW. So, you can accelerate the
cooking time, but the results will not be as good as the intended, slow
gentle cooking process.
For appearance, texture and flavour, it is best to flash fry meat before
placing in the slow cooker.
Dried beans must be pre-soaked and fresh kidney beans must be boiled
for at LEAST 12 minutes before being added; canned varieties of kidney
beans are generally pre-boiled and safe to add straightaway. If in doubt,
contact the manufacturer.
NEVER let the slow cooker run out of liquid.
Lifting the lid during cooking can put the cooking time back by 15
minutes.
For any recipes that include milk or cream – add as close to the end as
possible to avoid curdling.
Remember the slow cooker gets hot during use; so always ensure you
wear oven gloves when handling the slow cooker, and others in the
kitchen are aware that the slow cooker is hot.
NEVER cook meat, seafood or poultry from frozen. ALWAYS thaw
completely first. Note thawed food will cook quicker than its freshly
prepared counterparts.

HOW TO OPERATE
Place the slow cooker on a level, stable surface with adequate clearance
around and above – remember that you will have to lift off the lid and lift
out the glass bowl. Note that you should not lean over the slow cooker
when it is in use, so ensure there is nothing you will need behind the slow
cooker.
Prepare your ingredients to add to the slow cooker, while ensuring the
slow cooker preheats for 15 – 20 minutes at the HIGH setting.
We recommend preparing the ingredients well beforehand, but it is not
essential, and that you should flash fry any meat before adding to the
slow cooker.
Connect the plug to the power supply, ensuring the power cord does not
rest against the surface of the slow cooker.
Add the ingredients to the slow cooker in line with your recipe, but take
care not to splash the body, the control panel and power cord.
Note also that any spillage on the lid or lid knob will make them slippery,
and so a hazard may occur when lifting.
You may find it easier to remove the bowl from the body when adding the
ingredients and then replacing the filled bowl.
Remember it will be heavy and hot!
The OFF setting switches the slow cooker off, but it will remain hot for
some time.
The HIGH setting uses the most power; the power light remains on
throughout.
The LOW setting uses the least power; the power light remains on
throughout.
The AUTO setting starts off at high power then reduces to low power. A
thermostat maintains the temperature. The power remains on throughout.
This is the best setting for overnight, long or unattended cooking.

ADDING LIQUID WHEN THE SLOW COOKER IS IN USE
It is recommended to switch OFF and temporarily disconnect from the
mains supply when re-filling the slow cooker. As long as the refill is quick,
your cooking should not be unduly affected. Remember that lifting the lid
can add up to 15 minutes on to the overall cooking time. Take care not to
over fill. Adding cool water will temporarily slow down the cooking
process, so add hot liquid, but not boiling. Remember to switch the slow
cooker back ON.
CLEANING YOUR SLOW COOKER
Switch off from the power supply and ensure the slow cooker is perfectly
cool before cleaning. Never immerse the base unit, the power cord or
plug in water. Wash the bowl and lid in hot, soapy water and note both
may well benefit from soaking first. The base unit can be wiped with a
damp cloth.
The bowl and lid may be washed in your dishwasher, but not
that excessive washing may led to damage of the glass and lid
knob.
