Using Your Quatro Multi-Cooker Before First Use Before first use remove all promotional stickers and packaging material.

Operating Instructions Before placing the removable cooking bowl in the stainless steel housing, ensure the exterior is clean and dry. This will ensure proper contact with the inner cooking surface.
Using the Slow Cooking Function Cooking Time Guide Use the following table for suggested cooking times and settings when adjusting your favourite recipes. Always check that the food is thoroughly cooked before serving. Traditional Recipe Time Slow Cooker Recipe Time 15–30 minutes 4–6 hours 35–45 minutes 6–10 hours 50 minutes – 3 hours 8–12 hours Preparing Meat and Poultry Select the leanest cuts when purchasing meat. Trim the meat or poultry of any visible fat.
Sauté and Browning Before Slow Cooking Pre-browning meat and poultry prior to slow cooking, seals in the moisture, intensifies the flavour and provides more tender results, whilst producing richer flavours in other food, such as onions, capsicums and leeks. Pre-browning may take a little extra time, and whilst not strictly necessary, the rewards are evident in the end results. The meat can be sautéed in the multi-cooker or browned in a non-stick pan to reduce the amount of oil required.
Using the Slow Cooking Function continued Hints and Tips for Slow Cooking Always thaw frozen meat and poultry before cooking. Trim all visible fat from meat or poultry. Meat and poultry require at least 6–7 hours of cooking. Ensure that the food or liquid to be cooked fills half or more of the removable cooking bowl. 10 KMC200_IB_D11_FA.
