Introduction Thank you for purchasing your new Morphy Richards Slow Cooker.

Using Your Slow Cooker 1 2 Add oil to Cooking Pot (3). Refer to the recipe for the correct amount of oil to use. Pre-heat the oil in the Cooking Pot (3) on the hob over a medium-high heat.

When the meat has seared, place the Cooking Pot (3) into the Base Unit (4).
Handling The Cooking Pot • WARNING: The Cooking Pot (3) will become very hot when in use. • To prevent the Cooking Pot (3) from slipping when using to sear, saute or fry the ingredients on your hob, use an oven glove to support the Cooking Pot (3) when stirring the food. • Be careful when using the Cooking Pot (3) on a gas hob, select the correct size gas ring to fit the base area of the Cooking Pot (3). DO NOT use on a wok burner or oversized gas hob.
• All food should be covered with a liquid, gravy or sauce. In a separate pan or jug, prepare your liquid, gravy or sauce and completely cover the food in the Cooking Pot (3). • When cooking joints of meat, ham, poultry etc, the size and shape of the joint is important. Try to keep the joint in the lower 2/3 of the pot. If necessary, cut into two pieces. Joint weight should be kept within the maximum limit of 1kg. • For ham and brisket fill with hot water to just cover the joint.
Troubleshooting Problem • Food is undercooked. • Food is overcooked. Reason • Test the mains outlet with a lamp known to be working. • Food cooked on wrong setting for cooking time • Check the Control Knob (7) position and the recipe details. • Glass Lid (2) not placed correctly on the Cooking Pot (3) • Check the Glass Lid (2) is correctly placed and nothing is obstructing it.
