Using for the First Time

Before using the SLOW COOKER for the first time:

• Remove all labels and tags from the product.

• Wash the ceramic pot and glass lid in hot soapy water with a sponge or a dish

cloth, rinse thoroughly and dry.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT IMMERSE THE SLOW COOKER BASE IN WATER.

Note: During initial use you may notice a slight odor due to the burning off of

manufacturing residues. This is completely normal and will disappear after

using the unit for some time.

AUTO Setting:

The AUTO setting allows the user to set the slow cooker to cook frozen food for the

day and be ready to server 8-10 hours later. When set to AUTO, the Slow Cooker

will cook on HIGH until the food defrosts and reaches a pre-set temperature, then

switches to LOW and maintains a constant low cooking temperature.

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

and if you wish to shorten the cooking period you can use the HIGH setting.

Operating your LCD Slow Cooker

• Place the base on a dry, level, heat resistant surface, away from the edge of the

work surface. Do not use on the floor.

• Place food and other ingredients into the ceramic pot, and place the pot into

the base. Cover with the glass lid. If you need to pre-cook or brown foods prior

to slow cooking, this must be done in a pan. Do not try to brown or pre-cook

food in the slow cooker.

• Set the control knob the OFF position before plugging the unit into the

main socket.

• Switch off and unplug the slow cooker after cooking and remove the crock pot

using oven gloves.

CAUTION: BE CAREFUL NOT TO TOUCH THE BASE UNIT AFTER COOKING AS IT

REMAINS HOT.

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

ceramic pot you can also produce most modern family meals and dinner party

dishes. This pot is convenient as well as looking good enough to take straight

to the table for serving. (Always place the ceramic pot on a heat proof mat

or surface).

• This method of cooking is ideal for preparing tougher cuts of meat, giving

them the long, gentle simmering that ensures that they become tender and

full of flavour.

Suitable Foods for Slow Cooking & Preparation

Most foods are suited to slow cooking methods; however there are a few

guidelines that need to be followed.

• Cut root vegetables into small, even pieces, as they take longer to cook than

meat. They should be gently sautéed for 2-3 minutes before slow cooking.

Ensure that root vegetables are always placed at the bottom of the pot and all

ingredients are immersed in the cooking liquid.

• Trim all excess fat from meat before cooking, since the slow cooking method

does not allow fat to evaporate.

• If adapting an existing recipe from conventional cooking, you may need to cut

down on the amount of liquid used. Liquid will not evaporate from the slow

cooker to the same extent as with conventional cooking.

• Never leave uncooked food at room temperature in the slow cooker.

• Do not use the slow cooker to reheat food.

• Uncooked red beans must be soaked and boiled for at least 10 minutes to

remove toxins before use in a slow cooker.

• Authentic stoneware is fired at high temperatures; therefore the ceramic pot

may have minor surface blemishes and the glass lid may rock slightly due to

these imperfections. Low heat cooking does not produce steam so there will

be little heat loss. Due to normal wear and tear through the products life, the

outer surface may start appearing “crazed”.

• Do not put the ceramic pot or glass lid in an oven, freezer, and microwave or

on a gas/electrical hob.

• Do not subject the ceramic pot to sudden changes in temperature. Adding

cold water to a very hot pot could cause it to crack.

• Do not allow the pot to stand in water for a long time (You can leave water in

the pot to soak).

• There is an area on the base of the ceramic pot that has to remain unglazed for

manufacturing purposes. This unglazed area is porous and will soak up water

when immersed in it. This should be avoided.

• Do not switch the cooker on when the ceramic pot is empty or out of the base.

Tips for Slow Cooking

• The slow cooker pot must be at least half full for best results.

• Slow cooking retains moisture. If you wish to reduce moisture in the cooker,

remove the lid after cooking and turn the control to high (if set to low or auto)

and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes.

• The lid is not a sealed fit. Don’t remove unnecessarily as the built up heat will

escape. Each time you remove the lid, allow an additional 10 minutes to the

cooking time.

• If cooking soups, leave a 5 cm space between the top of the cook pot and the

food surface to allow simmering.

• Many recipes demand all day cooking, if you do not have time to prepare

food that morning prepare it the night before and store the food in a covered

container in the refrigerator. Transfer the food to the ceramic pot and add

liquid/gravy. Select the setting low, high or auto.

• Most meat and vegetable recipes require 8-10 hours on low. 4-6 hours on high

and 5-7 hours on auto.

• Some ingredients are not suitable for slow cooking. Pasta, seafood, milk, and

cream should be added towards the end of the cooking time. Many things can

affect how quickly a recipe will cook, water and fat content, initial temperature

of the food and the size of the food.

• Food cut into small pieces will cook more quickly. A degree of ‘trial and error’

will be required to fully optimise the potential of your slow cooker.

• Root vegetables usually take longer to cook than meat, so try and arrange

vegetables in the lower half of the pot.

• After food is cooked, switch cooker off and leave covered with the lid. There

will be enough heat in the ceramic pot to keep warm for 30 minutes. If you

require longer to keep warm switch to the low setting.

• All food may be covered with a liquid, gravy or sauce. In a separate pan or

jug prepare your liquid, gravy or sauce and completely cover the food in the

ceramic pot.

• Pre-browning meat and onions in a pan to seal in the juices also reduces the

fat content before adding to the ceramic pot. This improves the flavor but is

not necessary if time is limited.

• When cooking joints of meat, ham, and poultry etc the size and shape of the

joint is important. Try to keep the joint in the lower 2/3 of the pot and fully

cover with water. If necessary, cut in two pieces. Joint weight should be kept

within the maximum limit.

Care & Cleaning

Always make sure the slow cooker is unplugged and in the OFF position before

storing away or cleaning. Make sure the unit has cooled down completely

before cleaning.

• The stoneware insert is dishwasher safe or can also be cleaned with warm

soapy water. To remove any foods that have been cooked onto the bottom of

the pot, simply soak overnight in soapy water and rinse the next day.

• The exterior of the slow cooker can be wiped with a damp cloth and dried. DO

NOT use harsh abrasive cleaner or scouring pad to clean any part of the slow

cooker as this will damage the surface.

WARNING: NEVER SUBMERGE THE ENTIRE SLOW COOKER INTO WATER OR ANY

OTHER LIQUID OR THIS MAY DAMAGE THE SLOW COOKER.

Recycling
