All food should be cooked with the glass lid in place. Each time the lid is lifted, both
the heat and moisture are diminished. Cooking times should be adjusted by to
accommodate this factor.
Liquid amounts
When food is cooking in your slow cooker, very little moisture boils away. To
compensate this, it is advisable to halve the liquid content of traditional recipes.
However, if after cooking the liquid content is excessive remove the lid and operate
the slow cooker on the HIGH heat setting for 30-45 minutes or until the liquid reduce
by the desirable amount.
Stirring the food
Little or no stirring is required when using the LOW or KEEP WARM setting. When
using the HIGH heat setting, stir regularly ensure even flavor distribution.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Before cleaning your slow cooker, always ensure that the temperature control
dial is in the OFF position and the unit is disconnected from the power point.
Ensure that unit is always unplugged from the power outlet when not in
use
Always allow the unit to cool before cleaning.

using a mild household detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly. To soften
stubborn, cooked on foods fill the crockery pot with warm, soapy water
and allow soaking, remove by lightly scrubbing with a nylon kitchen

The crockery pot and glass lid can also be washed in the dishwater,
however care should be taken not to chip or crack the crockery pot or
lid.
