manual abstract


There are no user-serviceable parts inside. • This appliance gets hot during use. • Only use the handles when the unit is hot - preferably using oven mitts. • Allow the unit to cool before cleaning. • Please ensure that the worktop on which the unit will be placed has a heat resistance up to 60°C or place the cooker on a heat resistant base. PRECAUTIONS/TIPS WHEN USING THE CROCK POT Like any ceramic, the stoneware cooking pot cannot withstand severe and sudden changes in temperature. Adding cold water to a very hot ceramic crock could cause it to break. • Don't preheat the crock before adding food • Don't put the crock in the freezer • Don't put the crock in the oven - it is designed to be used with the Slow Cooker base only. • You can use the crock in a microwave - if it will fit but NEVER put the glass lid in a microwave - it has metal parts • Don't put the crock on a gas burner, electric hob or place the slow cooker on top of an oven. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE CORD ATTACHMENT ON THIS APPLIANCE IS NOT REPLACEABLE. IF THE POWER CORD BECOMES DAMAGED THE UNIT CANNOT BE REPAIRED. Please read and retain these instructions for future reference USING YOUR SLOW COOKER Before using your Slow Cooker for the first time it is good practice to wash the ceramic crock first. Simply wash with warm soapy water, rinse and dry. Your Slow Cooker is now ready for it's first use. General 1. Place the base on a dry, level, heat resistant surface, away from the counter edge. 2. Place ingredients into the ceramic crock, cover with the lid and put the crock into the base. If you need to pre-cook or brown foods prior to slow cooking, this must be done by some other method. Do not try to brown or pre-cook food in the slow cooker. 3. With the selector switch set to the OFF position, plug the unit into the mains socket. 4. Set the heat control to LOW, HI, or AUTO and cook for the recommended time given in the recipe. Cooking Guidelines Most meat and vegetable combinations will need; 8-10 hours of cooking at the LOW setting or, 4-6 hours at HI or, 5-7 hours at AUTO. When set to AUTO, cooking will start at the HI level then automatically switch to LOW after several hours. Avoid removing the cover during cooking, as this will increase cooking time due to temperature loss. Remove the cover only when necessary e.g. stirring or adding ingredients. Only use plastic or wooden utensils for stirring etc. Metal utensils may damage the glaze on the ceramic crock. Use oven mitts when handling the cover as it will become very hot during cooking. After food is cooked, reduce heat to LOW or leave at LOW for serving or turn control to OFF position. Switch off and unplug the cord from the mains after use and allow the unit to cool before cleaning. Slow Cooking tips! • Less tender, less expensive cuts of meat are better suited to slow cooking than expensive cuts. Remove excess fat from meat when possible before slow cooking. It is usually better to remove skin from poultry. If you prefer to brown meat or poultry first then this should be done under a conventional grill or in a conventional oven but do not brown the meat whilst it is in the crock pot. • Raw vegetables typically take longer to cook than meats as the liquid simmers rather than boils. To ensure vegetables are completely cooked, cut into uniform, 2cm cubes before adding to cooking pot. • If desired, ingredients for recipe can be combined in the cooking pot and kept refrigerated (but not frozen) for up to 2 days before cooking. When ready to cook simply place the crock into cooking base and set heat control for desired setting. • Insert a meat thermometer into roasts, hams or whole chickens to ensure they are cooked to the desired or recommended degree of doneness. • Fresh or thawed fish and seafood fall apart during long hours of cooking. To avoid this, add these ingredients about an hour before serving. • Because milk, soured cream and natural cheese break down during long hours of cooking, add these ingredients just before serving or substitute with undiluted condensed creamed canned soups or evaporated milk. Processed cheese tends to give better results than naturally aged cheese. • Rice and pasta may either be cooked separately or added, uncooked, during the last hour of cooking time. If added uncooked, make sure that there are at least 2 cups (half litre) of liquid in the cooking pot. Stir occasionally to prevent pieces from sticking together. • An extra hour of cooking won't ruin your recipe so don't worry if you get home a little later. Your meal will not be spoiled. Recipes • Many of your favourite recipes can be adapted to the slow cooker. Use the following table as a rough guide. If recipe says to cook: Cook on LOW Cook on HI Cook on AUTO 30 minutes 6-8 hours 3-4 hours 5-7 hours 35-60 minutes 8-10 hours 5-6 hours 6-8 hours 1 - 3 hours 10-12 hours 7-8 hours 8-10 hours MINESTRONE SOUP (serves 8-10) 750ml Water 2 x 300g cans chicken broth 1 Medium onion, chopped 4 Carrots, diced 1 Medium Z...
