Before you use your Crock-Pot
warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.
IMPORTANT NOTES: Some countertop and table surfaces are not designed to withstand the prolonged heat generated by
certain appliances. Do not set the heated unit on a finished wood table. We recommend placing an insulating pad or trivet
under your Crock-Pot sauté slow cooker to prevent possible damage to the surface.

During initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke and/or odour may be detected. This is normal with many heating
appliances and will not recur after a few uses.
ASSEMBLY:
1. Place the removable cooking bowl into the heating base. Position the two steam vents so that they are at the back of
the unit and so direct any escaping steam away from the front of the unit.
2. Place the lid onto the removable bowl.
The die-cast removable cooking bowl and glass lid are designed to withstand extreme temperatures and can even be used
in your oven. You can also store the cooking bowl in your refrigerator or freezer. The cooking bowl can then be placed
directly into the heating base straight from the refrigerator (always allow any frozen foods to fully defrost before cooking).
This versatility allows you to prepare foods, slow cook, store leftovers and reheat them using the same cooking bowl.
The high-sided design and glass lid prevent foods from spitting and splashing during cooking. Use your cooking bowl for
sautéing, frying, browning/sealing, stir-frying etc. It also makes a great cooking pot ideal for cooking large quantities of food.
The removable cooking bowl is not suitable for use on induction hobs.
1. Add your ingredients to the removable cooking bowl and cover with the glass lid.
2. Plug in your Crock-Pot
3. Use the mode selector to select 1 (LOW) or 2 (HIGH).
4. Set the cooking time using the timer control. The timer control sets the time in 30 minute increments. Note that if, after
setting the timer, you change the cooking mode from 1 to 2 or vice versa the timer will reset itself to 0:00 and you will
have to re-enter the time again.

selector to the setting.

USAGE NOTES:

• If there is a power cut during cooking all cooking settings will be lost when the power is restored and the unit will be in
a standby state with the power light flashing. If you are unaware how long the power was off the food may be unsafe to
eat and we suggest you discard the food.
• Don't overfill the bowl. We recommend not to fill it more than ¾ full.
• Always cook with the lid on for the recommended time. Do not remove the lid during the first two hours of cooking to
allow the heat to build up efficiently.
• To avoid damaging the non-stick surface of the cooking bowl, never use metal utensils.
• Always wear oven mitts when handling the lid or removable cooking bowl.
• Unplug when cooking is done and before cleaning.
