OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before using the slow cooker for the first time
• Carefully unpack the Slow Cooker. Remove all labels and packaging materials.
• Wash the ceramic pot and glass lid in hot soapy water with a sponge or a dish-
cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
• When the appliance is completely dry, place the base unit on a dry, stable, level,
heat resistant surface, away from any surface edges.
• Set the control knob to the OFF position before plugging the unit into a power
source. Plug the unit into a 120-volt 60hz AC grounded outlet only.
During initial use, you may notice a slight odor due to the burning o of manufactur-
ing residues. This is completely normal and will disappear aer using it a number of
times.
Using your slow cooker
1. Place food and other ingredients into the ceramic pot
2. Place the pot into the base unit. The slow cooker pot should be at least half full
for best results. If you need to pre-cook or brown foods prior to slow cooking,
this must be done in a pan. Do not try to brown or pre-cook food in the slow
cooker.
3. Cover with the glass lid.
4. Set the knob to high or low, depending on the setting called for by your recipe.
Many meat and vegetable recipes require app. 8-10 hours on low and 4-6 hours on
high. Follow the instructions for your particular recipe
5. While cooking: The lid is not a sealed fit. Don’t remove it while cooking unless
necessary, as heat will escape. Each time the lid is removed, you may need to add
an additional 10 minutes to the cooking time.
6. Aer cooking is complete, turn the knob to OFF and unplug the slow cooker.
Remove the hot ceramic pot using oven gloves. Always make sure that the pot is
placed on a heat resistant surface when it is hot or warm. As an option, you may
wish to switch the control knob to WARM to keep the food warm for later serving.
It is not recommended to use the warm setting for more than 3-4 hours. Do not
forget to turn the cooker o aer warming is complete.
CAUTION: BE CAREFUL NOT TO TOUCH THE BASE UNIT OR POT AFTER COOKING, AS
IT REMAINS HOT.
