Using Your Slow Cooker
Before first use remove any promotional
labels and wash the crockery pot and glass
lid in warm soapy water, rinse and dry
thoroughly. Do not use harsh abrasives or
chemicals.
Do not immerse the cooker body or
power cord in water or any liquid.
Position the removable crockery pot in
the base of the slow cooker. Place the
prepared food into the crockery pot.
Place the glass lid on the unit, centring it
for best results.
WARNING: DO NOT PLACE FOOD
OR LIQUIDS IN THE BASE OF THIS
APPLIANCE. COOK ONLY IN THE
SLOW COOKERS REMOVABLE
CROCKERY POT.
NOTE: Always place the slow cooker on a dry, level
surface and never operate without the crockery
pot positioned in the slow cooker base.
With the temperature control dial turned
to the OFF position, plug the slow cooker
into a 230/240V power outlet and turn
the power on.
Select the temperature setting, as
recommended in the recipe selection, by
turning the temperature control dial to
the desired setting.
When the cooking is completed, turn the
temperature control dial to the OFF
position. Switch off at the power outlet
and then unplug. Carefully remove the
crockery pot from the slow cooker base.
NOTE: Always use oven mitts when removing the
crockery pot containing hot liquids. Do not place
the heated crockery pot on any surface affected by
heat.
Allow the slow cooker enough time to
cool completely before cleaning and
storing away.
Using the Temperature Control
Settings
Keep Warm Setting
The Keep Warm Setting is ideal for
keeping a dish warm after cooking.
High Setting
The High setting is used when cooking
most dishes.As food will boil when
cooked on the High setting, it may be
necessary to add extra liquid, depending
on the recipe and the amount of time in
which it is cooked. Occasional stirring of
stews and casseroles will improve the
flavour distribution. Food should be
monitored when using the high setting,
just like cooking in a pot with a lid on.
The High setting should be used to reheat food.
Auto Setting
The Auto setting will first cook on a high
temperature for a period of time to bring
the food quickly to the desired
temperature, then reduce automatically to
a lower temperature for the completion
of cooking.This setting is ideal for slow
cooking meals overnight or when you are
away for most of the day.The food will
cook safely and will be ready on your
return.

A Beginner’s Guide to Slow
Cooking
In years gone by, food was cooked in large
pots and allowed to simmer for hours,
providing meals that were full of flavour,
moist and tender.The slow cooker is
designed to produce these same results,
whilst leaving you the time to do other
things, making it perfect for today’s busy
lifestyles.
As most food is cooked over a period of
6-10 hours, it can be prepared in advance
the evening before, refrigerated in the
removable crockery pot, returned to the
slow cooker and turned on in the
morning and left to cook all day.When
you arrive home a delicious, hot meal will
await you.
The guide below will help simplify the
process of slow cooking, allowing you to
obtain ultimate satisfaction from your
slow cooker.
Timing
Always allow sufficient time for the food
to cook. It is almost impossible to
overcook in the slow cooker, particularly
when using the Auto setting. Each recipe
contained in this book will give specific
instructions, indicating the appropriate
temperature setting accompanied by the
suggested cooking times to use.
Adapting cooking times
Your favourite traditional recipes can be
adapted easily, by halving the amount of
liquid and increasing the cooking time
considerably. See the guide that follows
for suggested cooking times and settings
when adjusting your favourite recipes.
Traditional Slow Cooker
Recipe TimeTime
15-30 minutes3-4 hours on Auto setting
60 minutes6-7 hours on Auto setting
1-3 hours8-10 hours on Auto setting
NOTE:These times are approximate.Times can
vary depending on ingredients and quantities in
recipes.
All food should be cooked with the glass
lid in place. Each time the lid is lifted, both
heat and moisture in the food are lost.
Cooking times should thus be extended,
by approximately 30 minutes.
Liquid amounts
When food is cooking in your slow
cooker, very little moisture boils away.To
compensate this, it is advisable to halve
the liquid content of traditional recipes.
However, if after cooking the liquid
content is excessive remove the lid and
operate the slow cooker on the High
setting for 30-45 minutes or until the
liquid reduces to the desirable amount.
Preparing meat and poultry
When selecting meat, look for the leanest
cuts.Trim the meat or poultry of any
visible fat, as the slow cooking process will
result in too much liquid from excess fat.
If possible, purchase chicken portions
without skin.This reduces the amount of
fat released into the cooking liquid. For
casseroles style recipes, cut the meat into
ximately 2.5cm to 3cm. Slow

Browning before slow cooking
Pre-browning meat and poultry, prior to
slow cooking, seals in moisture, intensifies
the flavour and provides more tender
results, whilst producing richer flavours in
other foods, such as onions, capsicums and
leeks. Pre-browning may take a little extra
time, and whilst not strictly necessary, the
rewards are evident in the end results. It is
best to use a non-stick pan, reducing the
amount of oil needed.
following the instructions on the
packaging. To brown meat it must be
sealed in a frypan prior to cooking.
Roasting in the Slow Cooker results in
tender, flavoursome meats that are easy to
slice.Therefore the cheaper cuts of meat
provide perfect results cooked by this
method.The addition of liquid is not
required for roasting, however a minimal
amount is necessary for pot roasts. Elevate
the meat to be roasted on an inverted,
heatproof saucer or plate.This will assist
in keeping the surface of the meat dry and
free from any fat release throughout the
cooking process. Optionally, the meat can
be placed in an oven bag and sealed,
Preparing vegetables
Vegetables should be prepared and cut
into small even sized pieces to ensure
more even cooking.Whole potatoes are
best, if cooked on the HIGH setting.
Frozen vegetables must be thawed before
adding to other foods cooking in the Slow
Cooker, such as an addition to a casserole.
When cooking vegetables and meat
together in the Slow Cooker, the
vegetables tend to cook at a slower rate
than the meat.To gain the best results,
position the vegetables on the base and
sides of the Slow Cooker and place the
meat on top.

Dried Beans and Pulses
If time permits, overnight soaking of dried
beans and pulses is preferable, but not
absolutely necessary.After soaking, drain
and place in the Slow Cooker and cover
with sufficient water to reach double their
volume. Cook beans or pulses on the
HIGH setting for 2-4 hours or until
tender. Pre-soaked beans and pulses will
cook a little faster.
Maintaining your Slow Cooker
Always turn your Slow Cooker ‘off’, then
switch off at the power outlet and then
unplug.Allow the unit to cool down
before cleaning.
Ensure that the unit is always unplugged
from the power outlet when not in use.
Remove the crockery pot and glass lid and
wash in warm, soapy water, using a mild
detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
To soften stubborn, cooked on foods fill
the crockery pot with warm, soapy water
and allow to soak. Remove by lightly
scrubbing with a nylon kitchen brush.
The crockery pot and glass lid can also be
washed in the dishwasher. However care
should be taken not to chip or crack the
crockery pot or lid.
The body of the unit should be wiped
over with a damp sponge or cloth, which
has been dipped in warm soapy water.
DO NOT immerse in water.
WARNING: NEVER IMMERSE THE
BODY OF THE UNIT, CORD OR
PLUG IN WATER OR ANY OTHER
LIQUID AS THIS MAY CAUSE
ELECTROCUTION.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool
or scouring pads as theses can damage the
surface of the slow cooker.
When storing your Slow Cooker, loosely
