FAQs
Can I put the whole slow cooker in the dishwasher?
No, only the removable pot and the lid are dishwasher-safe. The base unit should be wiped clean with a damp cloth.
What are the different heat settings?
The slow cooker has three settings: low, high, and keep warm. Use low for slow simmering, high for faster cooking, and keep warm to maintain food at a serving temperature.
How long does it take to cook a meal?
Cooking times vary depending on the recipe and heat setting. Refer to your recipe for estimated cooking times. Generally, low setting is used for longer cooking periods (6-8 hours), while high is for shorter periods (3-4 hours).
Can I use frozen food in the slow cooker?
It is generally safe to cook frozen foods in the slow cooker, but it may increase the cooking time. Ensure the food reaches a safe internal temperature.
How do I prevent food from sticking to the pot?
You can lightly grease the pot with cooking spray or oil before adding ingredients. Avoid lifting the lid during cooking as this will affect the cooking process.
What is the keep-warm function used for?
The keep-warm function maintains the food at a serving temperature after it has finished cooking. This is ideal if you are not ready to eat immediately.
What is the warranty period?
The Laura Ashley slow cooker comes with a 2-year manufacturer's guarantee, which can be extended by an additional three years by registering online.
Troubleshooting
Slow cooker not turning on.
Check that the slow cooker is properly plugged into a working outlet. Ensure the power cord is securely connected to the base unit. If the problem persists, try a different outlet.
Food is not cooking properly.
Make sure you've selected the correct heat setting for your recipe. Ensure there is sufficient liquid in the pot to prevent food from drying out. Check the lid is properly placed. If the problem persists, consider checking the heating element by contacting customer support.
