Using Your Kambrook Stainless Slow Cooker

Before First Use

stickers and packaging material.

Wash the removable crockery 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
crockery bowl in the stainless steel
housing, ensure the exterior is clean.
This will ensure proper contact with
the inner cooking surface.

Place the prepared food into the
removable crockery bowl, ensuring
denser foods are spread evenly
across the bottom of the bowl and
not heaped to one side. Place the
glass lid into position.

Insert the removable crockery bowl
into the stainless steel housing.

Plug the Slow Cooker into a 230V or
240V power outlet and switch the
power on at the power outlet.

Select the required setting using
the temperature control dial or as
recommended in the recipe section.

When cooking is complete, turn the
temperature control dial to the OFF
position, switch off at the power outlet
and then unplug.

Important

Always use the Slow Cooker on a dry,
level surface.

Never operate without food and

Always have the glass lid firmly in

Using The Temperature Control Settings

Low Setting

The Low setting gently simmers food
for an extended period of time
without overcooking or burning.
Generally no stirring is required when
using this setting.

High Setting

The High setting is used when cooking
dried beans or pulses and will cook
food in half the time required for the
Low Setting. Some foods may boil
when cooked on the High Setting,
so it may be necessary to add extra
liquid. This will depend on the recipe
and the amount of time in which it is
cooked. Occasional stirring of stews
and casseroles will improve the flavour
distribution.

Auto Setting

The Auto Setting will first cook on a
high temperature for a period of
time to bring the food quickly to the
desirable temperature, then reduce
automatically to low temperature for
the completion of cooking. This setting
is ideal for slow cooking meals.
