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

• Remove and safely discard any

packaging material and promotional
stickers or labels before using the slow
cooker for the first time.

• Do not place the slow cooker near

the edge of a bench or table during
operation. Ensure the surface is level,
clean and free of water and other
substances.

• To eliminate a choking hazard for young

children, remove and safely discard the
protective cover fitted to the power plug
of this slow cooker.

• Always operate the slow cooker on a

stable and heat resistant surface.

• Do not place this appliance on or near

heat source, such as hot plate, oven or

space above and all sides for air
circulation.

• Always ensure the slow cooker is

properly assembled before use. Follow
the instructions provided in this book.

• Never plug in or switch on the slow

cooker without having the removable
crockery bowl placed inside the slow
cooker housing.

• Use only the removable crockery bowl

supplied with the slow cooker. Do not
use any other bowl inside the slow
cooker housing.

• Do not place food or liquid in the slow

cooker housing. Only the removable
crockery bowl is designed to contain
food or liquid.

• Never operate the slow cooker without

food and liquid in the removable
crockery bowl. Ensure the cooking bowl
is at least ½ to ¾ full of food or liquid
before switching on the slow cooker.

• Always have the glass lid placed

correctly into position on the removable

• Do not use the removable crockery pot

in a microwave oven.

• We recommend the slow cooker is

not placed on a stone bench top when
cooking. This is due to bench tops being
sensitive to uneven heat and may crack
if heated locally. If you would like to
cook with the slow cooker on the stone
bench top, place a chopping board or
heat proof matt underneath the slow
cooker.

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles

for lifting and carrying the slow cooker
and dry pot holders or oven mitts to
remove the removable crockery bowl
and lid when hot. Lift and remove the
lid carefully and away from you to avoid
scalding from escaping steam.

• Do not place the removable crockery

bowl when hot on any surface that may
be affected by heat.

• Avoid sudden temperature changes. Do

not place frozen or very cold foods into
the removable crockery bowl when it is
hot. Do not place removable crockery
bowl when hot into cold water.

• Do not allow water from the lid to drip

into the slow cooker housing, only into
the removable crockery bowl.

• Do not place anything, other than the

lid, on top of the slow cooker when
assembled, when in use and when stored.

• Do not place anything on top of the lid

when assembled, when in use and when
stored.

• Do not leave the slow cooker unattended

when in use.

• The temperature of accessible surfaces

will be high when the slow cooker is
operating and some time after use.

• Do not reheat food using your crockery

bowl.

• Always slow cook with the glass lid on

for the recommended time.

• Ensure the removable crockery bowl is

correctly positioned in the slow cooker
base before you commence cooking.

• If you are not home during the slow

cooking process and the power goes
out, throw away the food even if it looks
done.

• If you are at home, finish cooking the

ingredients immediately by some other
means: on a gas stove, on the outdoor
grill or at a house 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 slow cooker with
power off.

• To avoid electrical overload, it is

recommended that no other appliances
are plugged into the same circuit as your
slow cooker when it is in use.

• Always switch the slow cooker off by

pressing the START/CANCEL button,
then switch off at the power outlet, then
unplug and allow to cool, if appliance
is not in use, before cleaning, before
attempting to move the appliance,
disassembling, assembling and when
storing the appliance.

• Keep the slow cooker housing,

removable crockery bowl and glass lid
clean. Follow the cleaning instructions
provided in this book.

• Do not use a damaged or cracked

removable crockery bowl if damaged or
cracked, replace before using.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS FOR
ALL ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES

• Fully unwind the power cord before use.

• Do not let the power cord hang over the

edge of a bench or table counter, touch
hot surfaces or become knotted.

• To protect against electric shock do not

immerse the power cord, power plug or
appliance in water or any other liquid or
allow moisture to come in contact with
the part, unless it is recommended in the
cleaning instructions.
