he AUTO (AUTOMATIC) setting will cook food within 8-10 hours. When set to AUTO,

th

e Slow Cooker will cook on HIGH until the food reaches a pre-set temperature, then

s

witches to LOW and maintains a constant slow cooking temperature.

H

owever if you wish to extend the cooking period, you can use the LOW setting and if

y

The control knob on the Slow Cooker offers a
low, high and automatic temperature setting
for cooking. This setting allows you to adapt
the cooking time to your convenience.

Instructions for use:

1. Place the base (3) on a dry, level, heat resistant surface, away from the edge of the
work surface. Do not use on the floor.

2. Place ingredients into the crock pot (2), and place the pot into the base. Cover with
the glass lid (1). If you need to pre-cook or brown foods prior to slow cooking, this
must be done in a pan not in the slow cooker.

3. Set control knob (5) to the OFF position; plug the unit into the electrical outlet.

4. Switch off and unplug the slow cooker after cooking and remove the crock pot using
oven gloves.

About slow cooking:

 Slow cooking has always been the best way to prepare a nutritious hot meal with

minimum preparation and maximum free time away from the kitchen.

 Traditionally slow cooking has centered on soups and casseroles but with this

oval crock pot you can also produce most modern family meals and dinner party
dishes. The crock pot is convenient as well as attractive enough to take straight
to the table for serving. Always place the crock pot on a trivet or heat proof
surface.

 This method of cooking is ideal for preparing tou gher cuts of meat, giving them

the long, gentle simmering that ensures that they become tender and full of
flavor.

IMPORTANT: The slow cooker works by building up heat and maintaining an even
temperature. To get the best cooking results, do not remove the lid during cooking,
since this will lose heat and therefore slow down the cooking time. The glass lid allows
you to monitor the cooking progress without interrupting the cooking time.
