FAQs

What is the capacity of this slow cooker?

The Swan 3.5L Retro Slow Cooker has a capacity of 3.5 liters, suitable for meals for 2-4 people.

Can the ceramic pot go in the dishwasher?

Yes, the removable ceramic pot and the glass lid are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.

What do the Low, High, and Auto settings do?

The 'Low' setting provides gentle simmering over a longer period. The 'High' setting cooks food faster. The 'Auto' setting starts on high (useful for browning) and then switches to low for the remainder of the cooking time.

Does it have a keep warm function?

What is the power consumption?

The slow cooker has a power consumption of 200 watts.

Is it suitable for cooking large roasts?

The 3.5L capacity is suitable for smaller roasts or chicken. For very large cuts of meat, you may need to trim them to fit or consider a larger slow cooker.

Does it come with a recipe book?

Yes, it includes a 32-page recipe book to help you get started with various meal ideas.

What is the warranty period?

The product comes with a 2-year manufacturer guarantee.

Troubleshooting

Slow cooker not turning on

Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check that the rotary control is set to a cooking mode (Low, High, or Auto).

Food is undercooked after the recommended time

Ensure the lid is properly sealed. Check if the correct temperature setting was used. For some recipes, a longer cooking time on 'Low' may be required. Ensure the capacity is not overloaded.

Food is burnt or sticking to the pot

The 'High' setting may be too intense for certain recipes. Try using the 'Low' or 'Auto' setting. Stir food occasionally if the recipe suggests. Ensure adequate liquid is used in the recipe.

Ceramic pot has a small chip or crack

Discontinue use immediately if the ceramic pot has significant chips or cracks, as this can affect performance and safety. Contact customer support regarding warranty.
