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
Profile Slow Cooker

• Carefully read all instructions before operating
the slow cooker and save for future reference

• Remove any packaging material and
promotional stickers 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.

• 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.

• When using the slow cooker, provide
adequate space above and on all sides for
air circulation.

• 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.

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

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

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

• 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.

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

• Do not touch hot sur faces. 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.

• These times are approximate. Times can
vary depending on ingredients and quantities
in recipes.

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

• 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 mat underneath the cooker.

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

cooking bowl.

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

• 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, 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.

• 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 leave the slow cooker unattended
when 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.

a microwave or conventional oven. Do not
place the removable cooking bowl onto a
heat gas or electric burner.

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

removing the glass lid from the removable
cooking bowl when hot by carefully lifting the
lid angled away from yourself.

• Do not allow water from the lid to drip into the
