INTRODUCTION TO SLOW COOKING

Slow cooking occurs at temperatures just around boiling. The Slow
Cooker can operate at LOW all day or night if required. When
cooking on a HIGH setting, it is very much like a covered pot on
the stove top. Foods will cook on HIGH in about half the time
required for LOW cooking. Additional liquid may be required as
foods do boil on HIGH. To turn the Slow Cooker OFF, turn the
Control Dial to the OFF position. Always unplug from electrical
outlet when not in use.
NOTE: Lid must not be removed while cooking on LOW setting.
BEFORE USING YOUR SLOW COOKER
FOR THE FIRST TIME
1. Carefully unpack your Slow Cooker and clean, see CLEANING
INSTRUCTIONS.
2. It is necessary to operate the Slow Cooker one time before
placing food in the Ceramic Bowl. Pour 4 cups of water into
the Ceramic Bowl and place it inside the Base Unit. Cover
with the Glass Lid.
3. Plug into a 230-240V AC outlet.
4. Turn Control Dial to HIGH position and allow to heat for
approximately 30 minutes. You will notice a slight odor; this is
normal and should quickly disappear.
5. Turn Control Dial to OFF position and allow to cool for
20 minutes.
6. Carefully remove the Ceramic Bowl from the Base Unit and
pour out the water from the Stoneware Liner.
7. Rinse Ceramic Bowl, dry thoroughly and place back inside
the Base Unit.
