OPERATION

Cooking temperatures

You can select one of two cooking temperatures. The best setting
depends on the food you are cooking and the cooking time you
require.
• Choose the 'Low' setting to gently simmer food for a long
period. You should not need to stir the food if you select this
setting.
• Choose the 'High' setting if you are baking or cooking dried
beans or pulses. Food will boil if you select this setting so you
may need to stir the food and add extra liquid during cooking.
Food should be monitored when cooking with this setting.
• The 'Warm' setting will keep your meal warm once cooked.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to use the keep warm setting to cook
food.

Cooking times

Cooking times are not critical when slow cooking. It's almost
impossible to overcook food, particularly when using the Low
setting.
The table below provides an approximate comparison between
traditional cooking recipe times and slow cooking times.

15 - 30 minutes 4 - 6 hours on LOW heat setting
