OPERATION GUIDE

Place the inner bowl into the appliance and connect to the
mains supply. Add ingredients before turning on.

For first time use

Place 8-10 cups of cold water into the ceramic bowl. Select
high setting and cook for approximately 20-30 minutes. Turn
slow cooker switch to ‘OFF’ position, disconnect from the
power supply and allow water to cool down completely. Discard
this water. Rinse ceramic bowl, dry and replace the ceramic
bowl in slow cooker.

Note. The first time you use your slow cooker, there may be a
small amount of smoke and smell. This is normal. It is due to a
protective coating, placed on the heating elements, to protect
the heating elements during shipping.

Selection settings.
LOW: For longer cooking times at a very low temperature.
HIGH: For shorter cooking times at a higher temperature.

Food will cook in approximately half the time taken for ‘Low’
setting

AUTO: For cooking automatically with both high and low
functions. The cooker will cook on high at first and then
automatically switch to low setting after an initial period.

Warning! Slow cooker will operate until switched off either by
switching the control switch to OFF and/or removing from the
mains supply. There is no “Auto OFF” control device in this
appliance. Do not overcook food. Monitor cooking.

SLOW COOKER COOKING GUIDE

Place food into slow cooker ceramic bowl and place into base
and cover with the lid. Select desired cooking function.

Slow cooking will commence. Power on indictor will illuminate.
When cooking is completed, switch off and disconnect from the

mains supply, remove ceramic bowl and serve. You may serve
straight from the ceramic bowl.

Warning! After cooking, place the ceramic bowl on a heat
resistant surface, as the bowl will be hot. Handle with care.
Use oven gloves when hot to remove the bowl.

Warning! Do not subject the ceramic bowl to sudden changes
of temperature, as it may crack. Do not put cold water into the
bowl when it is hot, or boiling hot water into the bowl when it
is cold.

Always cook with the lid on. Do not remove the lid often when
cooking, as this will prolong the cooking time.

Do not overfill the ceramic bowl. Boiling liquids may overflow
and cause personal injury or damage to the appliance or
cooking area.

Always place vegetables into ceramic bowl first when cooking
with meat, as these will take longer to cook than the meat.

Warning! Do not let the supply cord hang over the edge of
any table or bench top, as young children may pull the
appliance cord and cause scalding or other personal injury.
