English
• The ceramic cook pot should be at least half full for optimal results.
• Most meat and vegetable recipes require 8-10 hours on LOW and
4-6 on HIGH.
• Vegetables usually take longer to cook than meat. Cut vegetables into
small, even pieces and arrange in the lower half of the ceramic cook pot.
• Slow cooking retains moisture. If you wish to reduce the moisture con

tent in the cooker, remove the lid and press the SELECT button to one the
the HIGH selections (if set at LOW or WARM) and simmer for an additional
30-40 minutes.
• All food should be covered with a sauce, gravy or liquid. In a seperate
pan or dish, prepare your sauce, gravy or liquid and completely cover the
food in the ceramic cook pot.
• The glass lid is not a sealed fit. Removing the glass lid allows the built
up heat to escape. Each time the lid is removed, an additional 10 minutes
should be added to the cooking time.
• If cooking soups, leave a small amount of space between the ceramic
cook pot and the food surface to allow for simmering. Do not overfill.
• Many causes can affect how quickly a recipe will cook, always
consider the intial temperature of the food, size of food and water/fat
content when slow cooking.
• Once food is cooked, switch the cooker off and leave covered with the
glass lid. There will be sufficent heat in the cook pot to keep the food
warm for 30 minutes. If more time is required to keep the food warm, turn
cooker to WARM setting.
• Always use gloves or oven mitts when handling the cooking pot or
glass lid.
• Never leave uncooked food at room temperature in the slow cooker.
• Glass lid is dishwasher safe.
• Removable ceramic cook pot is dishwasher, microwave, and oven safe.
