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
Slow Cooker

• Carefully read all instructions before operating
the Kambrook slow cooker for the first time
and save for future reference.

• Remove and safely discard any packaging
material and promotional labels before using
the slow cooker for the first time.

• To eliminate a choking hazard for young
children, remove and safely discard the
protective cover fitted to the power plug of
this slow cooker.

• When unpacking the slow cooker, check to
see you have received all the items listed in
the parts list, before discarding the packaging.

• Always ensure the slow cooker is properly
assembled before use. Follow the instructions
provided in this book.

• Always operate the slow cooker on a stable
and heat resistant surface.

• Do not place the slow cooker near the edge
of a bench or table during operation. Ensure
that the surface is level, clean and free of
water and other substances.

• Do not operate the slow cooker on a sink drain
board.

• Do not place the cooker directly on a heat
sensitive bench top, such as a stone bench
top, when cooking. This type of bench top is
heat sensitive to uneven heat and may crack
if heated locally. To cook on a heat sensitive
bench top, place a chopping board or heat
proof matt underneath the cooker.

• Do not operate the slow cooker on an incline
plane. Do not move while the slow cooker is
switched on.

• Use the removable cooking bowl supplied with
the slow cooker. Do not use any other bowl
inside the slow cooker housing.

• Do not use a damaged, cracked or dented
removable cooking bowl. If damaged or
dented, replace bowl before using.

• Never plug in or switch on the slow cooker
without having the removable cooking bowl
placed inside the slow cooker housing.

• Ensure the removable cooking bowl is
correctly positioned in the slow cooker base
before you commence cooking.

• Do not place food or liquid in the slow cooker
housing. Only the removable cooking bowl is
designed to contain food or liquid.

• Never operate the slow cooker without food
and liquid in the removable cooking bowl.
Ensure the cooking bowl is at least ½ to ¾ full
of food or liquid before switching on the slow
cooker.

• Always slow cook with the glass lid on for the
recommended time.

• Do not place anything on top of the lid when
assembled, when in use and when stored.

• Do not place anything, other than the lid, on
top of the slow cooker when assembled, when
in use and when stored.

• Always have the glass lid placed correctly
into position on the removable cooking bowl
throughout operation of the slow cooker
unless states in the recipe to have it removed.

• Do not allow water from the lid to drip into the
slow cooker housing, only into the removable
cooking bowl.

• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use the handle for
lifting and carrying the slow cooker and use
oven mitts to remove the lid and or removable
cooking bowl. Lift and remove the lid carefully
and angled away from you to avoid scalding
from escaping steam. Allow the slow cooker
to cool completely before moving or cleaning
any parts.

• 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 apparent cause.

• Extreme caution must be used when the slow
cooker contains hot food and liquids.

• The temperature of accessible surfaces will be
high when the slow cooker is operating and
for some time after use.

• Do not place the removable cooking bowl
when hot on any surface that may be
affected by heat.

• High humidity, altitude, cold tap water,
ingredients and minor fluctuations may slightly
affect the cooking times in the slow cooker.

• The recommended cooking times are
approximate. Cooking times can vary
depending on ingredients and quantities in
recipes.

• Avoid sudden temperature changes. Do
not place frozen or very cold foods into the
removable cooking bowl when it is hot.

• Do not place removable crockery bowl or
glass lid into or under cold water while still hot.

• Do not use the removable cooking bowl for
food storage. The removable cooking bowl is
not suitable for storing food in the freezer.

• Do not reheat food using your removable
cooking bowl.

• Care should be taken when handling the Slow
Cooker after cooking, ensuring that the slow
cooker body and parts are not touched as
these may still be hot due to residual heat.

• If you are not home during the slow cooking
process and the power goes out, throw away
the food even if it looks done.

• If you are at home during the slow cooking
process and the power goes out, finish
cooking the ingredients immediately by some
other means such as on a gas stove, on the
outdoor grill or at a house where the power
is on.

• When you are at home, and if the food was
completely cooked before the power went
out, the food should remain safe up to two
hours in the cooker with power off.

• Do not use the removable cooking bowl in a
conventional oven or microwave oven.

• Do not place the removable cooking bowl on
a gas burner or electric hotplate.

• To avoid an electrical overload, it is
recommended that no other appliances are
plugged into the same circuit as your slow
cooker when it is in use.

• Do not use chemicals, steel wool, metal
scouring pad or abrasive cleaners to clean the
outside of the slow cooker housing or cooking
bowl as these can damaged the housing or
the coating of the cooking bowl.

• Keep the slow cooker clean. Follow the
cleaning instructions provided in this book.
