- Clean the appliance before first use.
- Before connecting the appliance to the power supply, check that the power supply voltage and current rating correspond with the power supply details shown on the appliance rating label.
NOTICE
During initial use, slight smoke or odour may occur due to production
residue. This is normal and will dissipate after a short time. To clear
production residue, clean the appliance thoroughly (see chapter “Cleaning”).
Operation
CAUTION Risk of scalding!
Hold and carry the main base (K) or removable cooking pots (C) only by the
base handles (A) or pot handles (H). Use oven mitts or pot gloves if
necessary. Hot steam is released during cooking. Use caution when lifting the
detachable lid (E).
CAUTION Risk of damage!

- Do not use the appliance without the cooking pots (C) placed properly into the main base (K).
- Do not operate the appliance with empty cooking pots (C).
- Do not congest the area around the appliance. The air vents at the bottom must be free of obstruction.
Cooking
NOTICE
Slightly press the detachable lid (E) down to ensure that the rubber seal
around the detachable lid fits firmly on the removable cooking pot (C).
- Place the appliance on a flat, stable and heat-resistant surface. Make sure that the anti-slip foot (J) are securely seated on the surface.
- Connect the power plug (L) to a suitable wall outlet.
- Fill the removable cooking pots (C) with food. Close and lock the detachable lids (E) with the front lid latches (G) and rear lid latches (D).
- Put the removable cooking pot (C) into the main base (K) (Fig. 1 ).
- To switch on, turn the switch knob (I) to one of the settings: LOW To cook gradually throughout the day or overnight HIGH To cook approximately twice the speed.
- LOW WARM To reheat food or keep cooked food warm.
- When the cooking is complete, turn the switch knob (I) to WARM to keep the food warm until it is ready to serve.
- To switch off, turn the switch knob (I) to OFF and disconnect the appliance.
Serving
- To lift the detachable lid (E), lock the rear lid latch (D) and unlock the front lid latch (G) (Fig. 2).
- To remove the detachable lid (E), unlock both the rear lid latch (D) and the front lid latch (G) (Fig. 3).
- To remove the cooking pot (C), lock both the front lid latch (G) and rear lid latch (D) (Fig. 4).
General Tips
- Slow cookers cook food at much lower temperatures than conventional cooking methods. Make sure the cooking time is sufficient for raw or chilled food.
- The longer the food is cooked, the softer or tender the food becomes.
- Make sure that an adequate amount of liquid is added to the removable cooking pots (C) to prevent food from drying or burning.
- Do not fill the removable cooking pot (C) higher than ¾ full to prevent the food from overflowing.
- Allow frozen food to thaw completely before slow cooking.
- Chop the ingredients into evenly sized for a shorter cooking time.
- Stir the food with heat-proof plastic or wooden utensils from time to time to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
- Refrain from lifting the detachable lid during operation, as this will allow heat to escape each time and thus prolong the cooking process.
- If there is too much liquid in the cooking pot towards the end of the cooking time, remove the detachable lid and cook until sufficient liquid has evaporated.
- For a more intense flavour, brown meat in spices in a separate skillet or pan before putting it in the removable cooking pot (C).
- Trim excess fat from meat before slow cooking, as the slow cooking method does not allow fat to drain away.
- Milk, cream and sour cream break down during extended cooking. Add during the last 15 to 30 minutes of cooking when possible.
- Condensed soups can cook for extended times and may be substituted for milk.
- Rice, noodles and pasta are not recommended for long cooking periods. Cook them separately and then add to the removable cooking pot during the last hour of cooking time.
