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.

KEEP WARM SETTING
The Keep Warm setting is used to keep
cooked foods at serving temperature. It is
not a cooking setting and should only be used
after first cooking on the Low or High setting.
It is not recommended to keep food on the
Keep Warm setting for more than 4 hours.
