7. Lights 8. Spatula 9. Measuring cup 10. On/off switch You may wash these parts in a dishwasher

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Wash the bowl, lid, and basket in warm soapy water, rinse and dry

PREPARATION

1. Sit the appliance on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface, near a power socket.
2. Don’t use the appliance near or below curtains, shelves, cupboards, or anything else likely to be damaged by the escaping steam.
3. Have oven gloves (or a cloth) to hand, and a heat-resistant mat or dinner plate to put the bowl on after cooking.
4. Put the bowl inside the cooker.

COOKING

1. Use the measuring cup to put the rice into the bowl.
2. Fill the bowl with water up to the number corresponding to the number of cups of rice used.
3. Give the bowl quarter of a turn each way, to ensure the bottom of the bowl makes good contact with the element.
4. Put the lid on the bowl.
5. Put the plug into the power socket. Move the on/off switch to I. Move the switch to the N position.
   The N light will come on.
6. Move the switch to P. The N light will go out.
7. When the rice is cooked, the switch will move to N, the Plight will go out, and the N light will come on.
8. Let the rice rest for about 10 minutes, then unplug the cooker.
9. Put on the oven gloves.
10. Steam and hot air will escape when you lift the lid. Tilt it slightly to direct the steam away from you.
11. Lift out the bowl and set it down on a heat-resistant mat or dinner plate.
12. Use the spatula to turn and mix the rice, to let all the steam escape.

• Sometimes the layer of rice in contact with the bowl will form a crust.
• If you don’t want it you can remove it with the spatula, after you’ve served the rice.

ADDITIONAL INGREDIENTS

• If you add any additional ingredients (raisins, fruit, nuts, etc.), you should reduce the amount of rice to compensate for the amount of water they’ll absorb.
•  Raisins and dried fruit will absorb as much water as rice, so put them into the measuring cup along with the rice.
• Nuts won’t generally absorb much water, so you can normally add them after you’ve measured the rice.

USING THE COOKER AS A STEAMER

1. Add the required amount of water – Use method 1 or 2 above.
2. Put the basket on top of the bowl and put the food into the basket.
3. For uniform cooking, cut all pieces of food to roughly the same size.
4. For peas, or anything that’ll break up or drop into the water, make a parcel with aluminum foil.
5. Take care when removing the parcel – wear oven gloves and use plastic tongs/spoons.
6. Put the lid on top of the basket.
7. Operate the cooker the same way you would when cooking rice.
8. Follow the steaming times.
9. Don’t leave food in the cooker after steaming – it’ll go soggy.
10. Note the type and quantity of food and the amount of water. Next time, adjust the amount of water and let the cooker look after the timing.

FINISHED?

1. Switch off the appliance and unplug it.
2. Don’t move the rice cooker with the full bowl inside it. It will be heavy, and the cable may catch on something as you move.
3. Remove the bowl from the rice cooker before emptying it. If you try to remove food from the bowl while it’s in the rice cooker, you may spill the contents into the rice cooker. This will damage it.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

1. Switch off the appliance, unplug it and let it cool.
2. Wash the lid, bowl, and rack in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry.
3. Wipe all surfaces with a clean damp cloth.
   You may wash these parts in a dishwasher.

COOKING TIMES AND FOOD SAFETY

• Don’t use mussels that are open prior to cooking. Steam until the shells open fully, and discard any that aren’t open after cooking.
• These times are for a single layer of food. You’ll need to experiment to find the times which suit your favorite foods and food combinations.
• Cook meat, poultry, and derivatives (mince, burgers, etc.) till the juices run clear. Cook fish till the flesh is opaque throughout.
• You should cook leaf vegetables as little as possible, to keep them green and crisp. Plunging them into iced water will stop the cooking process.

PARTS

THE BENEFITS OF SLOW COOKING

Health: The gentle cooking action reduces damage to vitamins and retains more of the nutrients and flavours.
Economy: Long, slow cooking can tenderize the cheaper, tougher cuts of meat, and uses about a quarter of the power of the small ring on the average hob.
Convenience: Prepare the ingredients the night before, put them in the slow cooker before you leave, and have a delicious meal waiting for you when you get home.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

GENERAL

• Thaw frozen food completely before adding it to the cookpot.
• Brown the meat and sauté the vegetables in a pan or the cooking pot.
• You can use the cooking pot for searing browning, sautéing, or frying, suitable for gas and electric hobs only, prior to using the slow cooker.

Meat

• When roasting, the juices don’t spit or evaporate, so the flavor and nutritive value are retained. The size and shape of the joint, its quality, and the proportion of lean, fat, and bone, all affect cooking times. Experience will soon help you judge these.
• Avoid meat that has a high proportion of fat, or trim the excess fat.

Poultry

• Wash and dry the poultry and season inside and out.
• Brown the skin in its own fat or a little cooking oil, in a large frying pan.

Fish

• To retain flavor and texture, fish shouldn’t be cooked for long periods.
• Grease the base of the cookpot with butter or margarine.
• Clean, trim, and wash the fish. Dry and place in the cookpot.
• Season, sprinkle with lemon juice, then add the hot stock, water, or wine.
• Dot butter over the fish, and cook on low (1) for 2-3 hours.

Vegetables

• Quickly-cooked vegetables, like frozen peas and sweetcorn, must be thawed, then added half an hour before the end of cooking.
• Root vegetables, tubers, and bulbs (carrots, potatoes, onions) take much longer to cook than meat, so cut them into about 5mm thick slices, sticks, or dice, and sauté them gently for 2-3 minutes before adding to the cookpot.

Pulses (beans, peas, and lentils)

• You must boil dried beans (e.g. red kidney beans) for at least 10 minutes before adding them to the slow cooker. They’re poisonous if eaten raw or under-cooked.
• Soak dried peas and beans for 8 hours (or overnight) before cooking, to soften them.
• You don’t need to soak lentils overnight.
• When cooking with rice, use at least 150ml of cooking liquid for each 100g of rice. We’ve found that “easy-cook” rice gives the best results.
• Pasta gets too soft for slow cooking. If your recipe requires pasta, stir it in 30-40 minutes before the end of the cooking.

Soup

• Tasty, homemade soup can be left simmering all day or overnight.
• Brown the meat and vegetables in a pan.
• If thickening is required, stir in flour or cornflour, then gradually add the stock.
• Bring to the boil, season to taste, and transfer to the cookpot.
• Don’t add milk till the final half-hour of cooking. Cream or egg yolk may be added just before serving.

Puddings

• Use a heatproof pudding basin, which fits the cookpot without touching the sides.
• Fill the cookpot with enough water to come halfway up the basin.

PREPARATION

1. Decide when you want to eat and when you want to start cooking.
2. If you want to eat at 6 p.m., and you need to start cooking at 8 a.m., find a recipe that takes about 10 hours.
3. Sit the appliance on a stable, level, heat-resistant surface.
4. Set the temperature control to 0.
5. For recipes without searing put the cookpot in the slow cooker, and fit the lid.
6. Put the plug into the power socket.
7. Set the temperature control to 2, and let the appliance preheat for 20 minutes.
8. The light will come on.

SEARING

Important points when using the cooking pot for searing:
When searing on the hob, the cooking pot will become very hot. Handle with care using oven gloves!
On gas hobs, always use the correct sized burner. Do not use it on a burner that is larger than the base area of the cooking pot.
Use an oven glove to hold the cooking pot during use and when stirring.

• For recipes requiring ingredients to be seared, browned,sautéed, or fried. Always use silicone, heatproof plastic, or wood utensils to avoid scratching the nonstick surfaces. Never use metal spoons, spatulas, tongs, forks, or knives as these will damage the non-stick surface.
• If your recipe calls for searing, browning, sautéing, or frying ingredients prior to slow cooking, remove the cooking pot from the slow cooker and place it directly on a hob to cook ingredients as per a normal frypan.
• Hob use is only suitable for gas and electric hobs. Not suitable for induction hobs.
• Do not leave the cooking pot unattended when cooking on the hob.
• Do not use the lid when searing on the stovetop, otherwise, ingredients will not sear or brown.
• Once the food is seared or browned as required, add other ingredients and stir through.
• Using oven mitts grasp both handles and carefully place the cooking pot back into the slow cooker.

FILLING
When the cookpot has heated up:

1. Use the lid knob to remove the lid.
2. Put the ingredients into the cookpot, then add the boiling cooking liquid.
3. Replace the lid.
4. Set the temperature control to 1 for traditional slow cooking, set it to 2 if you’re using it as an electric stewpot.

FINISHED?

1. Set the temperature control to 0. The light will go out.
2. Unplug the appliance.
3. Use the lid knob to remove the lid.
4. Remove all the food from the cookpot.

If you’re not going to clean the cookpot immediately, fill it with warm water, to prevent the residual heat from baking any food debris on to the cookpot.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

1. Unplug the appliance and let it cool.
2. Wipe all surfaces with a clean damp cloth.
3. Wash the lid and cookpot in hot soapy water, using a cloth or sponge, then rinse and dry thoroughly.

This product is for household use only.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
Warning: This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the outer cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the outer cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only by authorized service personnel.

ELECTRICAL CORD

A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used:

1. The marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
2. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord; and
3. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the counter top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

Note: If the power cord is damaged, please contact the warranty department listed in these instructions.
