Sunbeam are very safety conscious when designing and manufacturing consumer products, but it is essential that the product user also exercise care when using an electrical appliance. Listed below are precautions which are essential for the safe use of an electrical appliance:
• Read carefully and save all the instructions provided with an appliance.
• Always turn the power off at the power outlet before you insert or remove a plug. Remove by grasping the plug - do not pull on the cord.
• Turn the power off and remove the plug when the appliance is not in use and before cleaning.
• Do not use your appliance with an extension cord unless this cord has been checked and tested by a qualified technician or service person.
• Always use your appliance from a power outlet of the voltage (A.C. only) marked on the appliance.
• Close supervision is necessary when your appliance is being used near children or infirm persons.
• Never leave an appliance unattended while in use.
• Young children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
• Do not use an appliance for any purpose other than its intended use.
• Do not place an appliance on or near a hot gas flame, electric element or on a heated oven. Do not place on top of any other appliance.
• Do not let the power cord of an appliance hang over the edge of a table or bench top or touch any hot surface.
• For safety reasons and to avoid maintenance by unskilled persons, some appliances are ‘sealed’ using tamperproof screws. Such appliances should always be returned to the nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre for adjustment or repair if required.
• Do not operate any electrical appliance with a damaged cord or after the appliance has been dropped or damaged in any manner. If damage is suspected, return the appliance to the nearest Sunbeam Appointed Service Centre for examination, repair or adjustment.
• For additional protection, Sunbeam recommend the use of a residual current device (RCD) with a tripping current not exceeding 30mA in the electrical circuit supplying power to your appliances.
• Do not immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid unless recommended.
If you have any concerns regarding the performance and use of your appliance, please visit www.sunbeam.com.au or contact the Sunbeam Consumer Service Line.
Ensure the above safety precautions are understood.

The element surrounds the crock insert to ensure even cooking. It prevents food from sticking to the bottom of the crock insert and eliminates the need to stir your food regularly.
Slow cooking is one of the best ways of preparing foods to ensure that the flavour and tenderness is retained. Your new Crock-
Pot
®
slow cooker is easy to use and is extremely versatile. You can cook soups, stews, casseroles, roasts, bake cakes and even steam puddings.
Slow cooking is also economical, as your new
Crock-Pot
®
slow cooker uses very little power. Once the slow cooker reaches the selected temperature, the food cooks using the heat retained in the crock insert.
Your slow cooker is ideal for cooking tougher cuts of meat as the slow, moist heat tenderises the meat and enhances the flavours.
Your slow cooker is also very safe for keeping foods heated, as it operates at temperatures high enough to prevent the growth of harmful bacteria.

An Introduction to Slow Cooking
1. Before using your Sunbeam slow cooker
for the first time, remove the crock insert and lid and wash them in warm soapy water. Dry thoroughly and replace.
2. Place the slow cooker on a flat level
surface.
3. Prepare the food to be cooked and place
inside the slow cooker. Replace the lid. Note: Do not place very cold or frozen food
in the crock insert if it has been pre­heated.
4. Insert the plug into a 230-240V power outlet and turn the power ON.
5. Select the desired setting on the temperature control dial: LOW, HIGH, or KEEP WARM. The power on light will illuminate to indicate that the appliance is switched on.
Using your Crock-Pot®Slow Cooker

• All of the recipes contained in this book have recommended temperature settings. Most recipes can be cooked on the LOW setting, however when using the HIGH setting cooking times can often be halved.
• Cut meat and vegetables into standard size pieces for even cooking.
• When cooking with vegetables, place them in the crock insert first, and then place the meat on top.
• Always ensure that food or liquid comes to at least half way up the wall of the crock insert, as the element is located on the sides of the slow cooker.
• When roasting whole pieces of lamb, beef or chicken, it is not necessary to add liquid. Pot roasts and corned meats should be barely covered with liquid.
• Do not use oven bags when roasting lamb, beef or chicken.
• When preparing meat for casseroles, lightly coat the pieces in flour and brown before adding to the slow cooker. This helps to seal in the juices and flavours, and keeps the meat tender.
• Frozen casseroles can be placed in the cold slow cooker and heated for 5-8 hours, depending on the quantity. Do not place frozen food into a heated slow cooker.
• If a recipe results in too much liquid, turn the slow cooker to the HIGH setting, remove the lid and cook until sufficient liquid has evaporated.
• To thicken a casserole, set the slow cooker to the HIGH setting and stir through a thickening agent such as cornflour or flour combined with a little water. Allow to simmer until thickened, stirring occasionally.
• Stirring is rarely necessary, as the element wraps around the sides of the slow cooker, preventing the food from sticking to the base.
• Leave the lid on the slow cooker during cooking to maintain heat and moisture.
• To allow juices and fats to drain from meats during roasting, place the meat on a wire rack.
Tips for Slow Cooking
Wash the crock insert and lid in hot soapy water. To remove food that is cooked onto the bottom, soak the crock insert in warm water before cleaning and scrub lightly with a plastic or nylon brush. Rinse well and dry. The crock insert is also dishwasher safe for added convenience.
Note: Do not place the hot crock insert under cold water.
Wipe the exterior of the slow cooker with a damp cloth and polish dry. DO NOT use harsh abrasives, scourers or chemicals to clean any part of your slow cooker as these will damage the surfaces.
CAUTION: Do not immerse the base of the slow cooker in water or any other liquid.
