FAQs
How do I clean the slow cooker?
Unplug the slow cooker and let it cool completely. The cooking bowl and lid are dishwasher safe. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth.
Can I put frozen food directly into the slow cooker?
It is generally recommended to thaw frozen food before placing it in the slow cooker to ensure even cooking. If using frozen food, add extra cooking time.
What are the temperature settings?
The slow cooker has low, high, and warm settings. Refer to your recipe for recommended settings.
How long can I keep food warm?

Can I use the slow cooker for all types of recipes?
The slow cooker is ideal for soups, stews, casseroles, and curries. It may not be suitable for recipes that require quick cooking times or high temperatures.

Overcooking is more likely on the high setting. Check the food regularly and reduce cooking time as needed. If overcooking occurs, add a small amount of liquid and reduce the temperature.
