PREPARING FOR USE

Before you use your Crock-Pot® sauté slow cooker, remove all packaging and wash the lid and
removable cooking bowl with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.

IMPORTANT NOTES: Some countertop and table surfaces are not designed to withstand the
prolonged heat generated by certain appliances. Do not set the heated unit on a finished wood
table. We recommend placing an insulating pad or trivet under your Crock-Pot® sauté slow cooker to
prevent possible damage to the surface.

During initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke and/or odour may be detected. This is normal
with many heating appliances and will not recur after a few uses.

ASSEMBLY:

1. Place the removable cooking bowl into the heating base. Position the two steam vents so that
they are at the back of the unit and so direct any escaping steam away from the front of the unit.

2. Place the lid onto the removable bowl.

REMOVABLE COOKING BOWL

The die-cast removable cooking bowl and glass lid are designed to withstand extreme temperatures
and can even be used in your oven. You can also store the cooking bowl in your refrigerator or
freezer. The cooking bowl can then be placed directly into the heating base straight from the
refrigerator (always allow any frozen foods to fully defrost before cooking). This versatility allows
you to prepare foods, slow cook, store leftovers and reheat them using the same cooking bowl. The
high-sided design and glass lid prevent foods from spitting and splashing during cooking. Use your
cooking bowl for sautéing, frying, browning/sealing, stir-frying etc. It also makes a great cooking pot
ideal for cooking large quantities of food.

The removable cooking bowl is not suitable for use on induction hobs.

HOW TO USE YOUR SAUTÉ SLOW COOKER

1. Add your ingredients to the removable cooking bowl and cover with the glass lid.

2. Plug in your Crock-Pot® sauté slow cooker. The power indicator light will flash.

3. Use the mode selector to select 1 (LOW) or 2 (HIGH).

4. Set the cooking time using the timer control. The timer control sets the time in 30 minute
increments. Note that if, after setting the timer, you change the cooking mode from 1 to 2 or vice
versa the timer will reset itself to 0:00 and you will have to re-enter the time again.

5. After setting the cooking time your Crock-Pot
timer will count down in 1 minute increments.

6. When the cooking time has ended, your Crock-Pot® sauté slow cooker will switch to keep warm
mode. When in keep warm mode the display will show a moving pattern of bars (- - - -) which
will cycle slowly from the top to the bottom of the display. Your Crock-Pot® sauté slow cooker will
remain in keep warm mode until you switch the mode selector to 0 (standby) or unplug the unit.
You can switch to the keep warm setting manually at any time by moving the mode selector to
the setting.

USAGE NOTES:

• If there is a power cut during cooking all cooking settings will be lost when the power is restored
and the unit will be in a standby state with the power light flashing. If you are unaware how long
the power was off the food may be unsafe to eat and we suggest you discard the food.

• Don’t overfill the bowl. We recommend not to fill it more than ¾ full.

• Always cook with the lid on for the recommended time. Do not remove the lid during the first two
hours of cooking to allow the heat to build up efficiently.

• To avoid damaging the non-stick surface of the cooking bowl, never use metal utensils.

• Always wear oven mitts when handling the lid or removable cooking bowl.

• Unplug when cooking is done and before cleaning.
