Kambrook Recommends Safety First

IMPORTANT: Please retain your
instruction book for future use.

At Kambrook, we believe that safe performance is the first priority in any
consumer product, so that you, our valued customer can confidently
use and trust our products. We ask that any electrical appliance that
you use be operated in a sensible fashion with due care and attention
placed on the following important operating instructions.

Important Safeguards For Your Kambrook
Quatro Multi-Cooker

• To eliminate a choking hazard for young
children, remove and safely discard the
protective cover that is fitted to the power
plug on the appliance.

• Carefully read all instructions before operating
the Multi-Cooker and save for future reference.

• Remove any packaging material and
promotional stickers before using the
Multi-Cooker for the first time.

• Do not place the Multi-Cooker on the edge of
a bench or table during operation. Ensure the
surface is level, clean and free of water and
other substances.

• Do not use on a sink drain board.

• Do not place the Multi-Cooker on or near a
hot gas or electric burner, or where it could
touch a heated oven.

• Position the Multi-Cooker well away from walls,
curtains and other heat or steam sensitive
materials. Minimum of 20cm distance.

• If using plastic utensils, do not leave inside the
appliance when hot or on sauté setting.

• When using the Multi-Cooker, provide adequate
space above and on all sides for air circulation.

• Ensure that the food or liquid to be cooked fills
half or more of the removable cooking bowl
before switching on the appliance.

• The glass lid has been specially treated to
make it stronger, more durable and safer than
ordinary glass, however it is not unbreakable. If
struck extremely hard it may break or weaken,
and could at a later time, shatter into many
small pieces without any apparent cause.

• Extreme caution must be used when the
appliance contains hot food, hot oils and liquids.

oven mitts to remove the removable cooking
bowl and lid when hot.

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

Using Your Quatro Multi-Cooker

Before First Use

Before first use remove all promotional
stickers and packaging material.

Wash the removable cooking bowl
and glass lid in hot soapy water, rinse
and dry thoroughly.

Ensure the interior of the stainless
steel housing is clean and clear of
any debris.

Operating Instructions

Before placing the removable
cooking bowl in the stainless steel
housing, ensure the exterior is clean
and dry.

This will ensure proper contact with
the inner cooking surface.

Using the Slow
Cooking Function

1. Make sure that the power outlet is

switched off and that the multi­cooker is unplugged from the
power outlet.

2. Place the prepared food into

the removable cooking bowl,
ensuring denser foods are spread
evenly across the bottom of the
bowl and not heaped to one side.
Ensure that the food and/or liquids
fill at least ½ of the removable
cooking bowl.

3. Ensure that the food is fully

submerged in liquid.

4. Place the glass lid into position.

5. Insert the removable cooking bowl

into the stainless steel housing.

7. Plug the multi-cooker into a 230V

or 240V power outlet and switch
the power on at the power outlet.

8. Select the ‘SLOW COOKER’ mode

setting using the mode selection

dial. After a few seconds, the
POWER light will stop flashing and
remain on as the multi-cooker
heats up.

9. When cooking is complete, turn

the mode selection dial to the
STANDBY position, switch off at
the power outlet and then unplug
from the power outlet.

NOTE: The maximum time for
slow cooking is 12 hours. Make
sure that there is sufficient water
in the removable cooking bowl

Always use the multi-cooker on a dry,
level surface.

Never operate without food and
liquid in the removable cooking bowl.

Never operate without the removable
cooking bowl positioned in the
stainless steel housing.

Always have the glass lid firmly in
position on the removable cooking
bowl throughout the operation of the
appliance unless where stated in a
recipe to have it removed.

Always use oven mitts when
removing the removable cooking
bowl when hot.

Do not place the removable cooking

Using the Slow Cooking Function

Cooking Time Guide

Use the following table for suggested cooking times and settings when
adjusting your favourite recipes. Always check that the food is thoroughly
cooked before serving.

Traditional Recipe Time Slow Cooker Recipe Time

15–30 minutes 4–6 hours

35–45 minutes 6–10 hours

50 minutes – 3 hours 8–12 hours

Preparing Meat and Poultry

Select the leanest cuts when purchasing meat. Trim the meat or poultry of any
visible fat. If possible, purchase chicken portions without the skin. Otherwise,
the slow cooking process will result in extra liquid being formed from the fat as
it melts.

For casserole-type recipes, cut the meat into cubes, approximately 2.5cm to
3cm. Slow cooking allows less tender cuts of meat to be used.
