Operating your Breville Avance Slow Cooker

BEFORE THE FIRST USE

Before first use, remove all packaging material and promotional labels and wash the removable crockery bowl and glass lid in hot soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.

BROWNING BEFORE SLOW COOKING

Pre-browning meat and poultry, prior to slow cooking, seals in the moisture, intensifies the flavour and provides more tender results, whilst producing richer flavours in other food, such as onions, capsicums and leeks.

Pre-browning may take a little extra time, and whilst not strictly necessary, the rewards are evident in the end results. Use a non-stick frypan to reduce the amount of oil required.

HOW TO SLOW COOK

1.Before placing the removable crockery bowl in the metal housing, ensure the exterior of the bowl is clean. This will ensure proper contact with the inner cooking surface.

2.Place the prepared food into the removable crockery bowl, ensuring denser foods are spread evenly across the bottom of the bowl and not heaped to one side. Ensure the food and/or liquid fills at least ½ to ¾ of the removable crockery bowl. Place the glass lid into position.

3.With the temperature control dial turned to the OFF position, plug the Avance Slow Cooker into a 230V or 240V power outlet and switch the power on at the power outlet.

4.Set the temperature control dial to the desired setting, or as recommended in the recipe section.

5.When cooking is complete, turn the temperature control dial to the OFF position, switch off at the power outlet and then unplug.

6.Allow the Avance Slow Cooker to cool completely before cleaning and storing.

Important

•Always use the Avance Slow Cooker on a dry, level surface.

•Never operate without food and liquid in the removable crockery bowl.

•Never operate without the removable crockery bowl positioned in the metal housing.

•Always have the glass lid firmly in position on the removable crockery bowl throughout operation of the appliance unless where stated in a recipe to have it removed.

•Always use dry pot holders or oven mitts when removing the removable crockery bowl when hot.

•Do not place the removable crockery bowl when hot on any surface that may be affected by heat.

ALWAYS LIFT AND REMOVE THE GLASS LID CAREFULLY AND ANGLED AWAY FROM YOURSELF TO AVOID SCALDING FROM ESCAPING STEAM.
