Sunbeam HP2200 - Manual (Page 8)

Slow cooking is one of the best ways of
preparing foods to ensure that the flavour
and tenderness is retained. Your new Crock-
Pot
® slow cooker is easy to use and is
extremely versatile. You can cook soups,
stews, casseroles, roasts, bake cakes and
even steam puddings.
Slow cooking is also economical, as your new
Crock-Pot
® slow cooker uses very little power.
Once the slow cooker reaches the selected
temperature, the food cooks using the heat
retained in the crock insert.
Your slow cooker is ideal for cooking tougher
cuts of meat as the slow, moist heat
tenderises the meat and enhances the
flavours.
Your slow cooker is also very safe for keeping
foods heated, as it operates at temperatures
high enough to prevent the growth of harmful
bacteria.

An Introduction to Slow Cooking
1. Before using your Sunbeam slow cooker
for the first time, remove the crock insert
and lid and wash them in warm soapy
water. Dry thoroughly and replace.
2. Place the slow cooker on a flat level
surface.
3. Prepare the food to be cooked and place
inside the slow cooker. Replace the lid.
Note: Do not place very cold or frozen food
in the crock insert if it has been pre-
heated.
4. Insert the plug into a 230-240V power
outlet and turn the power ON.
5. Select the desired setting on the
temperature control dial: LOW, HIGH, or
KEEP WARM. The power on light will
illuminate to indicate that the appliance is
switched on.
