ß When hot, never place the ceramic pot directly on a table or work surface.
ß Never heat ceramic pot when it is empty.
ß Do not touch sides of the ceramic pot or the housing whilst food is cooking.
ß Always use the handles and oven gloves when removing the lid or ceramic pot from the housing base after
cooking.
ß The ceramic pot should always be at least half full for best cooking results; however, the appliance should
never be more than 3 quarters full or approximately 4cm from the top rim.
ß For food safety reasons, whole chickens should not be cooked in a Slow Cooker. They may not reach safe
temperature in the correct amount of time.
ß When cooking meat, set the appliance on 'High' for 1 hour and then reduce to 'Low' for the remaining
cooking time.
ß Because the appliance heats and cooks at low temperatures, food should be at room temperature before
it goes into the appliance.
ß The Cook and Hold is not recommended for reheating foods. It may not reheat chilled foods quickly
enough to prevent the development of harmful bacteria.
ß Avoid sudden temperature changes. Really cold food or water can crack the hot ceramic pot.
ß If foods are to be cooked the next day in the ceramic pot, do not store in the refrigerator overnight.
ß To save any leftover food, remove from the ceramic pot and store in plastic containers up to 2 days, or
freeze for future use.
ß Do not add frozen foods to the Cook and Hold. Heat to room temperature before adding.
