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.

operating the Kambrook Stainless Steel
Slow Cooker and save for future reference.

• Remove and safely discard any packaging
material and promotional labels before
using the appliance 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 appliance.

of a bench or table during operation.
Ensure the surface is level, clean and free of
water and other substances.

hot gas or electric burner, or where it could
touch a heated oven.

Cooker well away from walls and provide
adequate space above and on all sides for
air circulation.

be high when the appliance is operating
and for some time after use.

• Always have the glass lid positioned
correctly on the removable crockery bowl
throughout operation of the appliance
unless stated in the recipe to have

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

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.
