cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning
the appliance.

8. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the
appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.

9. Do not use outdoors.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

POLARIZED PLUG INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into the
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not properly fit into
the outlet at first, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a competent
qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting
from becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.

• The electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least

that of the appliance. If the electrical rating of the extension
cord is too low, it could overheat and burn.

• The resulting extended cord should be arranged so that it will

not hung over the counter top or tabletop where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over.

OPERATION

• After having unpacked the appliance, clean the crock and the
lid in soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.

• When it is first switched on, the heating parts may smell and emit
some smoke. This is normal; the grease that may have adhered to
the element during manufacture is burning off. We therefore
recommend that you heat up the appliance for about 10
minutes without any food (ventilate the room during this period).

• Prepare your recipes directly in the crock.

• Put the lid on the crock.

• Always make sure the temperature knob is in "0" position.

• Insert the plug in an earthed power socket.

• Select the desired temperature and let the preparation cook

slowly.

• If you use an extension cord, compare its characteristics with the
ones of the appliance (see rating plate) and check its
compatibility.

• You can either serve the preparation in the crock or transfer it in
another receptacle. When taking the crock out of the aluminium
pan, use potholders or a cloth to grasp the handles, particularly if
you are sensitive to heat.

• Always let the appliance cool down before cleaning or storing it.

TEMPERATURE SELECTOR

• According to the preparation you can select position

(slow

cooking) or position

(fast cooking).

• Although the fast cooking setting accelerates the preparation, it
remains slow compared to a classical cooking mode and your
preparation may simmer gently to allow the ingredients to give
off their flavour.

•

In AUTO position, the slow cooker will start at high power
(equivalent to level

) in order to cook the preparation, then the

temperature will fall automatically to reach level

in order to

cook more slowly.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

• In order to prolong the appliance's lifespan and to protect the
crock, we advise you not to create thermal shocks during use. For
example, never pour boiling liquid on cold ingredients or on the
contrary, never put frozen food in a hot preparation.

• Never fill the crock to the brim as the preparation might flow over
during the cooking process.

COOKING WITH YOUR SLOW COOKER

Contrary to classical cooking modes, your appliance does not heat
the food from below but only the sides of the appliance are heating
and the heat is spread over the whole recipient. This way the food
does not stick to the bottom of the receptacle and may thus cook
for a long time.
The difference between position

and lies in the time the
appliance takes to reach the temperature, knowing that in the end,
in both positions the temperature will end up to the same
temperature.
All preparations that need slow cooking, i.e. to "simmer", can be
made with the slow cooker, but other preparations may be adapted
to this cooking mode.

CLEANING AND CARE

• Always unplug the appliance and wait for it to cool down before

cleaning it.

• Remove the lid and take out the crock using their handles and

clean them in soapy water. You can also immerse them in water,
but never use scouring pads to clean them.

• Wipe the inside of the aluminium pan and the body of the

appliance with kitchen paper or a soft cloth.

• Never immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid. Never

fill the crock with water to clean it when it is still in the aluminium
pan.

•

Never put any part of the appliance in the dishwasher.

GUARDE ESTAS INSTRUCCIONES

INFORMACIÓN SOBRE EL ENCHUFE POLARIZADO

Para reducir el riesgo de choque eléctrico, este aparato tiene un
enchufe polarizado (una pata es más ancha que la otra).
Como medida de seguridad, este enchufe calza en el
tomacorriente polarizado de una sola manera. Si el enchufe no
cabe en el tomacorriente, pruebe en el otro sentido. Si aún así no
calza, consulte a un servicio técnico cualificado. No intente anular

esta característica de seguridad.

INSTRUCCIONES DEL CABLE

El cable de alimentación del aparato es un cable corto a fin de
disminuir el riesgo de accidentes (caídas al tropezar con él, etc.)
Puede utilizar un alargador si es necesario.

• Asegúrese de que el nivel eléctrico del cable es igual o
mayor que el indicado. Una extensión con un bajo nivel
eléctrico conllevaría el riesgo de su sobrecalentamiento y
daño.

• Para evitar riesgos, coloque el aparato de forma tal que los
niños no puedan jalarlo o tropezar con él. Que no arrastre
nunca por el suelo.
