At Kambrook, we believe that safe performance is the first priority in any

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

children, remove and safely discard the
protective cover fitted to the power plug of
this slow cooker.

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

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

pot as these can damaged the housing or the
coating of the cooking pot.

cleaning instructions provided in this book.

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

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

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

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

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

• 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 pot. Lift and remove the lid carefully
and away from you to avoid scalding from
escaping steam.

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

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

• The glass lid has been specially treated to
make it stronger, more durable and safer than

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.

• We recommend the slow cooker is not placed
on a stone bench top when cooking. This is
due to bench tops being sensitive to uneven
heat and may crack if heated locally. If you
would like to cook with the slow cooker on the
bench top, place a chopping board or heat
proof matt underneath the slow cooker.

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

of the removable cooking pot, always use
wooded or plastic utensils.

positioned in the slow cooker base before you
commence cooking.

• While silicone handles and glass lid are heat
resistant to 250°C. It is not recommended to
use for extended periods above 200°C in oven.

• For cleaning, silicone handles should be
removed regularly to prevent food buildup.

Only remove silicone handles once cooking
pot is cool. Only position silicone handles on a
cooled pan.

• Silicone handles should remain in position while
using the cooking pot on stovetop, oven and
in slow cooker.

• 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:
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.
