Using your Electronic Slow Cooker
1.Before using your Sunbeam slow cooker
Electronic for the first time, remove
the crock insert and lid and wash them
in warm soapy water. Rinse and 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.
8.Once the temperature and time has been
set press the ‘START’ button to commence
cooking. The LED will start counting
down.
Note: Cooking time can be increased or
decreased during cooking by pressing the
‘Timer button ’ until the desired time is
achieved.
Note: Cooking can be stopped at any time by
pressing the ‘Standby button ’.
Note: Do not place very cold or frozen food in
the crock insert if it has been preheated.
4.Insert the plug into a 230-240V power
outlet and turn the power ON.
5.Press the ‘Standby button ’. Three
bars on the LED will be displayed and HI
temperature setting is indicated with a red
light.
9.When the slow cooker has completed the
desired cooking time the unit will switch
to WARM and the LCD will start to count
down from 6 hours. After 6 hours your slow
cooker will switch off automatically.
Important: The WARM setting should only be
used for a maximum of 6 hours.
10.Press the ‘Standby button ’ button to
turn your slow cooker off.
6.Press the TEMP SELECT to select your
desired cooking temperature of HI, LO or
WARM setting.
7.Press the ‘Timer button ’ to set the
desired amount of hours for cooking. HI
and LO can be set for a maximum of 12
hours and KEEP WARM can be set for a
maximum of 6 hours.
Tip: If at anytime you choose to switch back
from the Warm setting before your selected
cooking time had finished, the slow cooker
remembers the amount of cooking time that
was remaining.
Important: Food should not be cooked on the
WARM setting as this setting will not get hot
enough to cook. This setting should only
be used to keep hot, cooked food warm for
serving.
Note: Transfer cooked food from the crock
insert into a airtight container before storing
in fridge or freezer

• All of the recipes contained in this book
have recommended temperature settings.
Most recipes can be cooked on the LOW
setting, however when using the HIGH
setting cooking times can often be halved.
• Food will be brought to a simmer on all
settings. The setting determines the time
needed to reach a simmer.
• Frozen casseroles can be placed in the
cold slow cooker and heated for 5-8 hours,
depending on the quantity. Do not place
frozen food into a heated slow cooker.
• If a recipe results in too much liquid,
turn the slow cooker to the HIGH setting,
remove the lid and cook until sufficient
liquid has evaporated.
• When cooking with vegetables, place them
in the crock insert first, and then place the
meat on top.
• Always ensure that food or liquid comes to
at least half way up the wall of the crock
insert, as the element is located on the
sides of the slow cooker.
• When roasting whole pieces of lamb, beef
or chicken, it is not necessary to add
liquid. Pot roasts and corned meats should
be barely covered with liquid.
• To thicken a casserole, set the slow
cooker to the HIGH setting and stir
through a thickening agent such as
cornflour combined with a little water.
Allow to simmer until thickened, stirring
occasionally.
• Stirring is rarely necessary, as the element
wraps around the sides of the slow cooker,
preventing the food from sticking to the
base.
• Leave the lid on the slow cooker during
cooking to maintain heat and moisture.
• Do not use oven bags in your slow cooker.
• Reduce cooking times when the slow
cooker is not completely full to achieve a
better cooking result as the slow cooker
heats up faster when not filled up to the
rim.
• When preparing meat for casseroles, lightly
coat the pieces in flour and brown before
adding to the slow cooker. This helps to
seal in the juices and flavours, and keeps
the meat tender.
Care and Cleaning
Wash the crock insert and lid in hot soapy
water. To remove food that is cooked onto
the bottom, soak the crock insert in warm
water before cleaning and scrub lightly with
a plastic or nylon brush. Rinse well and dry.
The crock insert is also dishwasher safe for
added convenience.
Wipe the exterior of the slow cooker with a
damp cloth and polish dry. DO NOT use harsh
abrasives, scourers or chemicals to clean any
part of your slow cooker as these will damage
the surfaces.
CAUTION: Do not immerse the base of the
slow cooker in water or any other liquid.
Note: Do not place the hot crock insert under
cold water.
