USING THE SLOW COOKER
1. Put the food in the Pot according to recipe.
2. Plug the Slow Cooker in. The power pilot light (green) will come on showing
that the unit is plugged in but not turned on. The digital display will also light up
showing the default setting of 06:00 or 6 hours.
3. Press the "Set" button once and the hour display will start to flash. Press "+" or
"-" to set the cooking time (in hours). Time settings, in full hours, range from a
minimum of 4 to a maximum of 12 hours. When the required cooking time in full
hours has been set, press the "Set" button again and the minutes will start to
flash. Press the "+" or "-" button to select the cooking time in minutes. Minutes
settings range from 00 to 50 minutes. Push "Set" once more to finalise the
setting and the digital display will stop flashing and show the selected cooking
time.
4. Select the cooking time as indicated in your recipe.
5. Press the ON/OFF button after setting the cooking time. The pilot light will switch
from green to red and the word "Cook" will appear in the left corner of the digital
display.
6. When the cooking time has been completed, the slow cooker will automatically
switch to "Keep Warm" mode and the word "Warm" will appear in the top right
corner of the digital display. Note: We do not recommend using the "Warm"
mode for longer than 4 hours.
7. Push the ON/OFF button to turn the slow cooker off. The pilot light will turn green
and the digital display will show the default time 06:00; this indicating the unit
is plugged in. Disconnect from the mains socket. Note: To reduce the risk of
electric shock, cook only in the removable pot supplied with your slow
cooker.
USING THE SLOW COOKER
Most foods are suited to the slow cooking method.
Tips.
• Cut vegetables in small or medium-sized pieces and put them at the bottom of
the pot.
• Do not fill the slow cooker more than three-quarters full.
• Trim the
much fat as possible. N.B.: Do not use frozen meat. Thaw meat thoroughly
before slow cooking.
• Browning meat and blanching vegetables before slow cooking improves
appearance and makes sauces thicker.
• Always unplug the slow cooker when not in use and before cleaning.
• Always use oven gloves when lifting the slow cooker.
• Always keep the lid on throughout the cooking process. Don't lift the lid
repeatedly to check progress.
• Use fresh or dried herbs instead of ground herbs; fresh herbs retain their flavour
better through the prolonged cooking time.
