OPERATION

Notes on the ceramic pot

•Only ﬁll the warm food into the ceramic pot (3), when it is at room temperature. The ceramic pot (3) may be damaged if the temperature changes rapidly.

•Ceramic is a material sensitive to temperature changes. Never let the temperature in the pot rise or fall rapidly. This will result in the pot being damaged or destroyed.

•Do not put the pot in a refrigerator to store food. Reheating a cold pot may damage or destroy your appliance (ill. j ).

•Do not place hot food in the pot when it is cold or cold food when the pot is hot.

•Do not put the pot under cold water if still hot.

•Do not hit the pot against hard surfaces or faucets.

•Do not use the pot if it is chipped, cracked or otherwise damaged.

•Do not put the pot or lid into a microwave oven (ill. k ).

•During slow cooking liquids do not boil away. Begin with a small amount of liquid and add more during the cooking process when needed. If there is too much liquid at the end of the cooking process, set the slow cooker to high. Cook on this setting to reduce the liquid.

•For better ﬂavor do not crush or ground herbs and spices.

•If cooking on low setting, some recipes may require 8 hours.

•Meats with a high percentage of fat can inﬂuence the ﬂavor of the dish. Browning or pre-cooking can reduce the fat.

•Cut food into smaller pieces. They will cook faster than food left whole.

•Some vegetables require a longer cooking time. Place vegetables like potatoes, carrots or beets on the bottom of the ceramic pot. Cover with liquid.

•Add pre-cooked rice or pasta only at the end of the cooking process.
