THE BENEFITS OF SLOW COOKING
Whether you prefer a hearty beef casserole, a chicken curry or a minestrone soup, slow
cooking is not only a avoursome and time-saving cooking process, it can save you money.
Hours of slow cooking means avour intensity and cheaper cuts of meat transform into melt in
your mouth meals.
Health - The gentle cooking action helps retain more of the nutrients and avours in food.
Economy - Long slow cooking can tenderise the cheaper, tougher cuts of meat and uses
signicantly less power than an oven.
Convenience - Sear and sauté ingredients on the stove top and transfer straight into the slow
cooker saving you time and clean-up.
BEFORE FIRST USE
• Remove all packaging material from the product.
• As some parts may be packed separately, check to ensure all items have been unpacked
before disposing of the packaging.
• Remove all accessories and components.
• Wash all removable parts as instructed in “CARE AND CLEANING” section of this manual.
• Select a level, dry countertop where the appliance is to be used, allowing air space on all
sides to provide proper ventilation and a safe distance from hot surfaces of the slow cooker.
• To prevent damage from steam and heat, ensure the slow cooker is not placed directly under
cupboards when in use.
• Ensure the slow cooker is always disconnected from the wall power outlet when not in use.
SEARING & COOKING IN YOUR SEARING SLOW COOKER
For recipes requiring ingredients to be seared, browned or sautéed
Note: Always use silicone, heatproof plastic or wood utensils to avoid scratching nonstick surface. Never use metal spoons, spatulas, tongs, forks or knives as these will
damage the non-stick surface.
• Sit the slow cooker on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface and out of reach of children.
• If your recipe calls for searing, browning or sautéing ingredients prior to slow cooking, remove
the cooking pot from the slow cooker and place it directly on the burner of your stovetop to
cook ingredients as per a normal frypan.
NOTE: Stovetop use is only suitable for gas and electric stovetops. Not suitable for
induction stovetops.
NOTE: Do not leave the cooking pot unattended when cooking on the stove.
NOTE: Do not use the lid when searing on the stove top, otherwise ingredients will not
sear or brown.
• Once food is seared or browned as required, add other ingredients and stir though.
• Using oven mitts grasp both handles and carefully place the cooking pot back into the slow cooker.

• Connect the plug to the wall power outlet and switch the power on. The display screen will ash
“
” 4 times along with all 3 indicator lights.
• The display screen will then ash “----“ indicating that the searing slow cooker is in standby mode.
• Select LOW or HIGH temperature by pressing the SELECT button on the control panel until
the red indicator light is illuminated on the desired setting.
• Once the setting has been selected, set the cooking time by pressing the TIME button. Time
can be set from 30 minutes up to 10 hours. Repeatedly press the TIME button to adjust the
time in 30 minute increments.
NOTE: The default time is 6 hours. Repeatedly pressing the TIME button will increase
time up to a maximum of 10 hours then go back to 30 minutes, and continue to increase
in 30 minute increments.
• Once the desired cooking time is selected, the set time will ash 3 times on the display
screen then become solid and begin to count down. Cooking has now commenced.
NOTES:
- If the time button is not pressed, the cooking time that appears on the display screen
will be the time selected and cooking will commence.
- During cooking, time can be changed at any stage by pressing the TIME button.
- To cancel the setting or time selected, press the SELECT button until none of the
indicator lights are illuminated. After the time flashes 4 times, the display screen
will then flash “----“ indicating that the searing slow cooker has returned to standby
mode.
• At the end of the cooking time the slow cooker will automatically switch to the WARM setting
(light will ash) and the display screen will begin to count down from 10 minutes.
• After 10 minutes has elapsed, the slow cooker will automatically remain on WARM and the
display screen will begin to count down for 10 hours. Once 10 hours has elapsed the slow
cooker will automatically switch to standby mode.
NOTE: Some food will deteriorate if kept in “WARM” mode for extended periods of time.
• When ready to serve, switch off the wall power outlet and remove the plug from the socket.
• Using oven mitts remove the lid from the slow cooker and set it on a heat proof surface.
• Serve the food.
TIP: Cleaning can be made much easier if you immediately remove all the cooked food from
the cooking pot, then ll it with warm water (see ‘Care and Cleaning’ section on page 9).
