Slow Cooking - Breville VTP053 Instruction Booklet

slow cooking

Make sure your multi cooker is switched off, unplugged at the mains supply
socket and is fully cooled before assembling or disassembling. During use the
glass lid, removable bowl and cooker body will get very hot. Always handle with
care and use oven gloves.
Beware of hot steam escaping from the vent hole in the glass lid.
Your slow cooker works by building up heat and maintaining an even temperature. For
the best results do not remove the glass lid before half the cooking time has elapsed. The
glass lid allows you to monitor cooking progress without interrupting the cooking time.
For more information on slow cooking, including how to adapt recipes, see pages 16, 17
and 18 of these isntructions.
1. Set the mode selector switch to OFF. Place the removable bowl inside your multi
cooker's base. Ensure the bowl is positioned correctly before continuing.
2. Add the prepared ingredients. Don't overfill the bowl. We recommend not to fill it
more than two thirds full.
3. Place the glass lid onto your multi cooker.
4. Plug your multi cooker into a suitable mains supply socket. The POWER light will
flash.
5. Move the mode selector switch to the SLOW position. After a few seconds, the
POWER light will stop flashing and remain on as your multi cooker heats up.
6. Using oven gloves, remove the glass lid. Angle the glass lid away from you as you
remove it. This will allow any build up of steam to escape safely away from your
hands, arms and face.
7. Carefully lift the bowl out of the cooker body. Place it on a heat resistant surface.
Don't place it on any surface affected by heat. A trivet or an insulated pad is
recommended.
After use
After use, set the mode selector to OFF and unplug your multi cooker from the supply
socket. Your multi cooker does not switch off automatically.
