Troubleshooting

Food is not cooking properly or is taking too long.

Ensure the lid is securely fitted, check that the slow cooker is plugged in and powered on, and verify you've selected the correct heat setting for your recipe. Avoid opening the lid frequently, as this releases heat and prolongs cooking time.

The cooking pot seems difficult to clean despite being non-stick.

For stubborn food residue, soak the pot in warm, soapy water for an hour or two before cleaning. Always use soft sponges or cloths; avoid abrasive scourers or metal utensils that could damage the non-stick coating.

I cannot sear food in the pot on my hob.

Confirm that your hob type is not induction. The Morphy Richards Sear & Stew cooking pot is specifically designed not to be suitable for induction hobs for searing or any other stovetop use.

The appliance does not turn on.
