Introduction To Slow Cooking
Slow cooking occurs at temperatures just around boiling. The Programmable Slow Cooker can operate
at LOW all day or night if required. When cooking on a HIGH setting, it is very much like a covered pot on
the stove top. Foods will cook on HIGH in about half the time required for LOW cooking. Additional liquid
may be required as foods do boil on HIGH. To turn the Slow Cooker OFF, press the power OFF button.
Always unplug from electrical outlet when not in use.
Before Using for the First Time
1. Carefully unpack your Programmable Slow Cooker and clean, see CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS.
2. It is necessary to operate the Slow Cooker one time before placing food in the stoneware pot.
Pour 4 cups of water into the stoneware pot and place it inside the base unit. Cover with the glass lid.
3. Plug into a 120V AC outlet. The POWER indicator light will begin to ash.
4. Press the SELECT button once. The 4hr. HIGH indicator light will illuminate.
NOTE: You will notice a slight odor; this is normal and should quickly disappear.
5. After 30 minutes, press the OFF button and unplug the Slow Cooker. Allow the unit to cool.
6. Wearing oven mitts, grasp the pot handles carefully to lift and remove the stoneware pot from the
base unit; pour out the water from the stoneware pot.
7. Rinse stoneware pot, dry thoroughly and replace inside the base unit.
STONEWARE POT CARE
Like any ceramic, the stoneware pot may crack or break if not properly handled. To prevent damage, handle
with care!
WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions can cause breakage resulting in injury or property damage.
• ALWAYS USE POT HOLDERS OR OVEN MITTS WHEN HANDLING HOT STONEWARE.
• DO NOT place hot stoneware pot on counter top. Use a protective trivet.
• DO NOT place stoneware pot on any range top burner, under a broiler, microwave browning element, or
in a toaster oven.
• DO NOT strike utensils against rim of stoneware pot to dislodge food.
• DO NOT use stoneware pot to pop corn, caramelize sugar, or make candy.
• DO NOT use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or any object that will scratch the cookware or base unit.
• DO NOT use or repair any stoneware pot or lid that is chipped, cracked, or broken.
• DO NOT use stoneware pot for reheating foods or for general food storage.
• Always place foods into the stoneware pot at room temperature; then place stoneware pot into the base
unit before turning unit ON. NEVER heat the stoneware pot when it is empty.
TEMPERED GLASS LID CARE
WARNING: To prevent cracking or breaking of the glass lid, which may cause personal injury, glass lid
should be treated with special care.
CAUTION: Glass lid may shatter if it is exposed to direct heat or subjected to severe temperature changes.
Chips, cracks or deep scratches may also weaken the glass lid.
• KEEP GLASS LID AWAY FROM broiler, microwave oven, hot stovetop burners, in a heated oven,
oven heat vents. If glass lid has been utilized in any of these locations, do not use it again, even if
there are no signs of damage.
• IF GLASS LID BECOMES CHIPPED, CRACKED OR SCRATCHED, DO NOT USE IT. Discard it.
• ALWAYS LET GLASS LID COOL on a dry, heat-resistant surface before handling. Do not place it on
cold or wet surfaces, as this may cause it to crack or shatter.
• ALWAYS USE POTHOLDERS OR OVEN MITTS when removing the hot glass lid. To avoid burns from
escaping steam, always tilt lid away from hands and face.
