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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
