5 Control Knob and Temperature Settings

• The Control Knob on the Slow Cooker offers a Low, High and Auto
temperature setting for cooking.

• High Setting is for quicker cooking time.

• Low Setting is for slower cooking time.

• The AUTO setting allows the user to set the slow cooker to cook

frozen food for the day and be ready to server 8 - 10 hours later.

• When set to AUTO, the Slow Cooker will cook on HIGH until the
food heats and reaches a pre-set temperature, then it switches to
LOW and maintains a constant low cooking temperature.

If you wish to extend the cooking period, you can use the LOW
setting and if you wish to shorten the cooking period you can use
the HIGH setting.

6 About Slow Cooking

Slow cooking has always been the best way to prepare a nutritious
hot meal with minimum preparation and maximum free time away
from the kitchen.

Traditionally slow cooking has centred on soups and casseroles but
with this ceramic pot you can also produce most modern family meals
and dinner party dishes.

This pot is convenient as well as looking good enough to take straight
to the table for serving. (Always place the ceramic pot on a heat proof
mat or surface).

This method of cooking is ideal for preparing tougher cuts of meat,
giving them the long, gentle simmering that ensures that they become
tender and full of flavour.

7 Using The Slow Cooker

Do not use the Ceramic pot or Lid if chipped, cracked, or
severely scratched.

• Place the base on a dry, level, heat resistant surface, away from the
edge of the work surface. Do not use on the floor.

• Place food and other ingredients into the ceramic pot, and place the
pot into the base. Cover with the glass lid. If you need to pre-cook or
brown foods prior to slow cooking, this must be done in a pan. Do
not try to brown or pre-cook food in the slow cooker.

• Set the control knob the OFF position before plugging the unit into
the main socket.

• Switch off and unplug the slow cooker after cooking and remove the
ceramic pot using oven gloves.

CAUTION: BE CAREFUL NOT TO TOUCH THE BASE UNIT
AFTER COOKING AS IT REMAINS HOT.

• Never heat the Ceramic pot when empty or place the Ceramic pot
on a burner or stovetop or in an oven or microwave oven.

• Do not place the Lid on a burner or stovetop or in an oven or
microwave oven.

• Stirring is not necessary when slow cooking. However, if cooking on
High, you may want to stir occasionally.

• Slow cooking retains most of the moisture in the ingredients. If there
is too much liquid at the end of the cooking time, remove the cover,
turn the Control Knob to High, and reduce the liquid by simmering.
This will take 30 to 45 minutes.

• The Slow Cooker should be at least half-filled for best results. Do
Not Over fill.
