BREVILLE
RECOMMENDS
SAFETY FIRST

At Breville we are very safety
conscious. We design and
manufacture consumer
products with the safety of you,
our valued customer, foremost
in mind. In addition, we ask
that you exercise a degree of
care when using any electrical
appliance and adhere to the
following precautions.

READ ALL
INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE
USE AND SAVE FOR
FUTURE REFERENCE

• Carefully read all
instructions before
operating the Breville
slow cooker for the first
time and save for future
reference.

• Remove and safely discard
any packaging material
and promotional labels
before using the slow
cooker for the first time.

• To eliminate a choking
hazard for young children,
remove and safely discard
the protective cover fitted
to the power plug of this
slow cooker.

• When unpacking the
slow cooker, check to see
you have received all the
items listed in the parts
list, before discarding the
packaging.

2

• Always ensure the
slow cooker is properly
assembled before use.
Follow the instructions
provided in this book.

• Always operate the slow
cooker on a stable and
heat resistant surface.

• Do not place the slow
cooker near the edge of
a bench or table during
operation. Ensure that the
surface is level, clean and
free of water and other
substances.

• Do not operate the slow
cooker on a sink drain
board.

• Do not place the cooker
directly on a heat sensitive
bench top, such as a stone
bench top, when cooking.
This type of bench top is
heat sensitive to uneven
heat and may crack if
heated locally. To cook
on a heat sensitive bench
top, place a chopping
board or heat proof mat
underneath the cooker.

• Do not operate the slow
cooker on an incline plane.
Do not move while the
slow cooker is switched on.

• Use the removable cooking
bowl supplied with the
slow cooker. Do not use
any other bowl inside the
slow cooker housing.

• Do not use a damaged or
dented removable cooking
bowl. If damaged or
dented, replace bowl before
using.

• Position the lid so that the
steam vent is directed away
from you. Lift and remove
the lid carefully to avoid
scalding from escaping
steam.

• Never plug in or switch on
the slow cooker without
having the removable
cooking bowl placed inside
the slow cooker housing.

• Ensure the removable
cooking bowl is correctly
positioned in the slow
cooker base before you
commence cooking.

3

• Do not place food or
liquid in the slow cooker
housing. Only the
removable cooking bowl
is designed to contain
food or liquid.

• Never operate the slow
cooker without food and
liquid in the removable
cooking bowl. Ensure the
cooking bowl is at least ½
to ¾ full of food or liquid
before switching on the
slow cooker.

• Always slow cook with
the glass lid on for the
recommended time.

• Do not place anything,
other than the provided
lid, on top of the slow
cooker when assembled,
when in use and when
stored.

• Always have the lid
placed correctly into
position on the removable
cooking bowl throughout
operation of the slow
cooker unless stated
in the recipe to have it
removed.

• Do not allow water from
the lid to drip into the
slow cooker housing,
only into the removable
cooking bowl.

• Do not touch hot surfaces.
Use the handle for lifting
and carrying the slow
cooker and use dry oven
mitts to remove the
lid and / or removable
cooking bowl. Lift and
remove the lid carefully
and angled away from you
to avoid scalding from
escaping steam. Allow
the slow cooker to cool
completely before moving
or cleaning any parts.

• The glass lid has been
specially treated to
make it stronger, more
durable and safer than
ordinary glass, however
it is not unbreakable. If
struck extremely hard,
it may break or weaken,
and could at a later time
shatter into many small
pieces without apparent
cause.

• Extreme caution must be
used when the slow cooker
contains hot food and
liquids.

• The temperature of
accessible surfaces will be
high when the slow cooker
is operating and for some
time after use.

• Do not place the removable
cooking bowl when hot on
any surface that may be
affected by heat.

• To prevent scratching the
non-stick surface of the
removable cooking bowl,
always use wooden, silicon
or plastic utensils.

• High humidity, altitude,
cold tap water, ingredients
and minor fluctuations
may affect the cooking
times in the slow cooker.

• The recommended
cooking times are
approximate. Cooking
times can vary depending
on ingredients and
quantities in recipes.

• Care should be taken when
handling the slow cooker
after cooking, ensuring that
the slow cooker body and
parts are not touched as
these may still be hot.

• If you are not home during
the slow cooking process
and the power goes out,
throw away the food even if
it looks cooked.

• If you are at home during
the slow cooking process
and the power goes
out, finish cooking the
ingredients immediately
by some other means
such as a gas stove, on an
outdoor grill or elsewhere,
where the power is on.

• When you are at home, and
if the food was completely
cooked before the power
went out, the food should
remain safe up to two
hours in the cooker with
power off.

• If using plastic utensils, do
not leave inside the slow
cooker when hot or on
browning settings.

5

• When using the yoghurt
cooking process, ensure
the kitchen thermometer
used to monitor
temperature of the milk is
suitable and sterile for use
with food and liquids.

• The slow cooker is not
intended to be operated
by means of an external
timer or separate remote
control system or any
other device that switches
the slow cooker on
automatically.

• Do not use the removable
cooking bowl in a
conventional oven or
microwave oven.

• Do not use chemicals,
steel wool, metal scouring
pads or abrasive cleaners
to clean the outside of the
slow cooker housing or the
cooking bowl as these can
damaged the housing or
the coating of the cooking
bowl.

• Keep the slow cooker
clean. Follow the cleaning
instructions provided in
this book.

• Do not place the
removable cooking bowl
on a gas burner or electric
hotplate.

• To avoid an electrical
overload, it is
recommended that no
other appliances are
plugged into the same
circuit as your slow cooker
when it's in use.
