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 ).
TIPS & TRICKS
• 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.
