Before First Use; Boil Dry Protection - Breville vtp140 User Manual

using your glass slow cooker

Before first use

Make sure your glass slow cooker is switched off and unplugged from the
mains supply socket before cleaning. Never immerse the base unit, cord or plug in
water or any other liquid.
Before using your glass slow cooker for the first time, wash the glass lid and bowl in
warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use harsh abrasives, chemicals or
oven cleaners. Using a damp cloth or sponge, wipe the base unit. Use a mild detergent
solution.
Using your glass slow cooker
During use the glass lid and bowl will get very hot. Always handle with care
and use oven gloves. Never operate your glass slow cooker without liquid inside
the glass bowl. Never attempt to cook food on the base unit. The glass bowl must
be used at all times. Always place the bowl on the base unit before switching the
appliance on. Always check that the food is thoroughly cooked before serving.
Never place the bowl while it is hot onto a very cold surface or into a fridge. Never
use the glass bowl in an oven. Only use the glass bowl on the base unit.
Your glass slow cooker works by building up heat and maintaining an even temperature.
For best results, leave the lid on throughout the cooking process unless the recipe
requires you to add ingredients during cooking.
1. Add the prepared ingredients into the glass bowl. Don't overfill the bowl. We
recommend not to fill it more than two thirds full.
2. Place the bowl into the recess in the base unit.
3. Place the lid onto the bowl.
4. Plug your glass slow cooker into a suitable mains supply. The POWER button will
flash.
5. Press the POWER button to switch the unit on. The power button will stop flashing
and the illuminated ring will light up.
6. Press the LOW, HIGH or AUTO button to select the desired cooking setting and start
cooking.

Boil dry protection

In rare cases, your glass slow cooker may boil dry. This can happen, for example, if
insufficient liquid is added. Should this happen, the boil dry feature in your glass slow
cooker will automatically switch the heater off to prevent any damage. The Power button
will flash to show that the boil dry protection has operated. Allow your glass slow cooker
to fully cool before removing the glass bowl. Once sufficiently cooled, the protection
feature will reset itself and your glass slow cooker can be used as normal.
