Hints and Tips
• Trim all visible fat from meat
or poultry.
• If a recipe calls for browning the
meat, it may be browned in the
removable cooking pot on a gas,
electric or ceramic stovetop.
• Ensure that the food or liquid to
be cooked fills half to ¾ of the
removable cooking pot.
• If after cooking, the liquid
quantity is excessive, remove the
lid and operate the searing slow
cooker on the High setting for 30
to 45 minutes or until the liquid
reduces by the desired amount.
Alternatively, the liquid can be
thickened by adding a mixture
of cornflower and water and
cooking on High setting without
the lid until sauce has thickened.
Do’s
• Always thaw frozen meat and
poultry before cooking.
• Use oven mitts when lifting the
glass lid or removable cooking
pot after searing or slow cooking.
• Place the removable cooking pot
onto a heat proof mat if serving
from the removable cooking pot
at the table.
• To keep foods warm for serving,
turn the temperature control to
the Keep Warm setting until ready
to serve.
Dont’s
• Do not operate the slow cooker
without the removable cooking
pot in position, in the searing slow
cooker base.
• Do not cook with frozen meats
or poultry.
• Do not remove the glass lid from
the slow cooker unnecessarily as
this will result in major heat loss.
• Stirring is not necessary when
slow cooking. However, if
cooking on the High or Auto
setting, stirring occasionally
will help to distribute flavours
throughout the recipe.
• Do not use High setting if you
intend on being away from home
for more than 3 hours.
Never
• Place water or other liquids into
slow cooker base.
• Immerse the searing slow cooker
base, power cord, or power plug
in water or any other liquid.
• Touch hot surfaces with bare hands.
• Deep fry in the removable
cooking pot.
Care, Cleaning and Storage
Before cleaning the slow cooker
switch the temperature control dial
to the ‘OFF’ position, switch off at the
power outlet, and unplug the power
cord from the power outlet.
Remove the removable cooking pot
and allow to cool completely.
To remove stubborn, cooked-on
foods in the removable cooking pot,
soften by filling ¾ with water, bring to
a slow boil on medium heat on the
stove top, add detergent and simmer
for 15 minutes.
Remove by lightly scrubbing with a
soft nylon kitchen brush.
The removable cooking pot and
glass lid can be washed in the
dishwasher. However, to maintain the
non-stick coating, it is recommended
to wash the removable cooking
pot in hot, soapy water using a mild
household detergent. Rinse and dry
thoroughly.
Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool,
or scouring pads as these can damage
the surfaces and non-stick coating.
To prevent damage to the
appliance, do not use alkaline
cleaning agents, use a soft cloth and
a mild detergent.
The brushed stainless steel slow
cooker base can be wiped over
with a soft, damp cloth and then
dried thoroughly.
IMPORTANT: Do not
immerse the slow cooker
base or power cord in
water or any other liquid
as they may cause
electrocution.
WARNING: Do not use
chemicals, steel wool,
metal scouring pad or
abrasive cleaners to
clean the outside of the
slow cooker housing or
cooking bowl as these
can damage the housing
or the coating of the
cooking bowl.
