he AUTO (AUTOMATIC) setting will cook food within 8-10 hours. When set to AUTO,

e Slow Cooker will cook on HIGH until the food reaches a pre-set temperature, then

witches to LOW and maintains a constant slow cooking temperature.

owever if you wish to extend the cooking period, you can use the LOW setting and if

ou wish to shorten the cooking period you can use the high setting.

Instructions for use:

1. Place the base (3) on a dry, level, heat resistant surface, away from the edge of the

work surface. Do not use on the floor.

2. Place ingredients into the crock pot (2), and place the pot into the base. Cover with

the glass lid (1). If you need to pre-cook or brown foods prior to slow cooking, this
must be done in a pan not in the slow cooker.

3. Set control knob (5) to the OFF position; plug the unit into the electrical outlet.
4. Switch off and unplug the slow cooker after cooking and remove the crock pot using

oven gloves.

CAUTION: BE CAREFUL NOT TO TOUCH THE BASE UNIT AFTER COOKING AS IT
REMAINS HOT.

About slow cooking:

Slow cooking has always been the best way to prepare a nutritious hot meal with

minimum preparation and maximum free time away from the kitchen.

Traditionally slow cooking has centered on soups and casseroles but with this

oval crock pot you can also produce most modern family meals and dinner party
dishes. The crock pot is convenient as well as attractive enough to take straight

to the table for serving. Always place the crock pot on a trivet or heat proof
surface.

This method of cooking is ideal for preparing tougher cuts of meat, giving them

the long, gentle simmering that ensures that they become tender and full of
flavor.

IMPORTANT: The slow cooker works by building up heat and maintaining an even

temperature. To get the best cooking results, do not remove the lid during cooking,
since this will lose heat and therefore slow down the cooking time. The glass lid allows

you to monitor the cooking progress without interrupting the cooking time.
