Breville recommends safety first At Breville we are very safety conscious. We design and manufacture consumer products with the safety of you, our valued customer, foremost in mind. In addition we ask that you exercise a degree of care when using any electrical appliance and adhere to the following precautions.
Breville recommends safety first • • • • • • • • • • • • • Do not use the removable crockery pot in a microwave oven. We recommend the slow cooker is not placed on a stone bench top when cooking. This is due to bench tops being sensitive to uneven heat and may crack if heated locally. If you would like to cook with the slow cooker on the stone bench top, place a chopping board or heat proof matt underneath the slow cooker. Do not touch hot surfaces.
Breville recommends safety first • This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance. It is recommended to regularly inspect the appliance.

It is not a cooking setting and should only be used after first cooking on the Low, Medium or High setting. It is not recommended to keep food on the Warm setting for more than 6 hours.

A BEGINNERS GUIDE TO SLOW COOKING with your Breville Smart Temp™
A beginners guide to slow cooking The method of slow cooking (where food is cooked in a large pot and allowed to cook for hours) has been around for a very long time. This method has always been known as one which produces a flavourful, moist and tender result. The Breville Smart Temp™ has been designed to give you the same result as well as save you time and take the guesswork out of slow cooking. It’s all in the timing Always allow sufficient time for the food to cook.
A beginners guide to slow cooking Stirring the food Little or no stirring is required when using a slow cooker. However, occasionally stirring the food when using the High setting. Stirring once or twice during cooking will improve the flavour distribution of your meal. Preparing meat and poultry Select the freshest cuts when purchasing meat.. Trim the meat or poultry of any visible fat. If possible, purchase chicken portions without the skin.
A beginners guide to slow cooking Pot roasting The addition of liquid is required for pot roasting. Place sufficient liquid into the removable crockery bowl to cover up to a third of the meat. Meat will not brown during the pot roasting process. For browner results, seal in a frypan before pot roasting. Suitable cuts for pot roasting Beef Beef topside, blade, silverside roasts, rolled brisket. Lamb Forequarter, shank, shoulder. Veal Shoulder/forequarter. Pork Loin, neck.
HINTS & TIPS for your Breville Smart Temp™
Hints & tips • • • • Always thaw frozen meat and poultry before cooking. Trim all visible fat from meat or poultry. Ensure that the food or liquid to be cooked fills half or more of the removable crockery bowl. On completion of cooking, if there is too much liquid remove the lid, press the Mode button once for the High setting and cook for 35-40 minutes until the liquid reduces. Alternatively, mixing a small amount of cornflour with water and adding to the dish will thicken the liquid.
CARE, CLEANING & STORAGE of your Breville Smart Temp™
CARE, CLEANING & STORAGE Before cleaning, press the ON/OFF button to switch OFF the slow cooker, then switch off the power outlet and unplug Always allow the appliance to cool before cleaning. THE CROCKERY BOWL AND GLASS LID To remove stubborn, cooked-on foods in the removable crockery bowl, soften by filling with warm, soapy water and allow to soak for 20-30 minutes. Remove by lightly scrubbing with a soft nylon kitchen brush.
