How to recognise the parts of your slow cooker
How to use your slow cooker
Before use, remove all packaging and wash the aluminum pot and lid in warm soapy water. Dry thoroughly before use. Please only use plastic implements with the slow cooker as metal can cause damage.
-
Place the base of the slow cooker on a flat, stable surface near an easily accessible power socket.
Please note
As an alternative to the conventional method of adding uncooked raw ingredients to the pot, the pot can be used on the hob to seal meat or soften vegetables before placing into the cooker base. Ensure you handle the pot by the handles as the aluminum pot will become hot when on the hob. The pot is not suitable for use on induction hobs. -
Prepare all of the ingredients for your meal and place them in the aluminum pot. The pot must only be a maximum of 80% full or it may leak into the cooker body and cause damage.
-
Place the aluminum pot into the cooker body.
-
Place the lid onto the top of the pot.
-
Slot the plug into the electrical socket and turn the power on.
-
Turn the power dial to either low or high to cook your food.
The cooking light will come on to show you that the slow cooker is working.
When cooking, do not remove the lid unless it is to add ingredients, or this will increase the cooking time.
-
Once your food is cooked, turn the power dial to the warm/off position.
Use the “Warm” function if you are not serving the food straight after cooking; most recipes can be kept warm for around 2 hours after cooking. -
Switch the power off at the socket and remove the plug.
-
Take off the lid, being careful to avoid any steam, and place the lid on a heatproof surface (it will be very hot). You can now serve the meal.
-
Allow the aluminum pot to cool completely before removing it for cleaning.
How to clean
Make sure the slow cooker is disconnected from the power and is completely cool.
- Carefully lift the aluminum pot out of the cooker body and wash the pot and lid in warm soapy water. They may also be washed in the dishwasher, but this could cause the surfaces to dull over time.
- Wipe the outside of the cooker body with a damp cloth and dry carefully.
- Ensure the slow cooker and lid are all dried thoroughly before storing.
How to change the fuse
- Only use a 3 amp fuse.
- To change the fuse, place a screwdriver into the recess of the plug cover and pull the fuse holder upward until it’s free.
- Slide the fuse out and pop in the replacement.
- Slot the fuse holder back into the recess and push down until it locks into place.
