Prepare your food according to the directions in your recipe.
Place the food to be cooked in the removable inner ceramic pot and cover with the glass lid. Place the
pot in the slow cooker base.
Plug in your slow cooker and set the cooking time and temperature as indicated in the "OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS".
The slow cooker has 3 temperature settings. LOW is recommended for slow "all day" cooking. 1 hour
at HIGH is approximately 2 to 2.5 hours at LOW. WARM is recommended to keep already cooked food
at serving temperature until you are ready to serve. Do not cook on the WARM setting.
3. Cooking Instructions
1. Using a slow cooker is simple, but different from conventional cooking. To help you, this guide contains
many helpful tips for successful slow cooking. Many other books with slow cooker recipes are available at
libraries and bookstores. Keep these materials handy whether you are preparing favorite recipes or trying
something new. This slow cooker features three heat settings: LOW, HIGH, and WARM. Use the
recommended guidelines in the recipe you are using to determine the cooking time and heat setting.
Dishes can be prepared well ahead of time, and cooking times can be adjusted so that food is ready to
serve at a convenient time. A general rule of thumb for most slow cooker meat-and-vegetable combos is:

4. Tips for Slow Cooking
CARE AND CLEANING
Proper care and maintenance will ensure your slow cooker remains in excellent working condition. Follow
these steps to clean and store your cooker safely:
When cooking is complete and you are ready to serve, press the Power button until all indicator lights
are off, then unplug the power.
The slow cooker's metal housing will be very hot. Always use oven mitts to remove the removable pot;
however, if you have silicone gloves, oven mitts are not necessary. When removing the glass lid, tilt it
so that the opening faces away from you to avoid steam burns.
You can now serve your meal directly from the removable pot. If you place the ceramic pot directly on
the table, use a trivet to protect the wood from the heat.
Allow the removable pot and glass lid to cool completely before washing.
For best results, fill the slow cooker at least halfway.
Do not fill the slow cooker more than three-quarters full.
Spray the inside of the ceramic pot with nonstick cooking spray for easy cleaning.
Vegetables and meats cook slowly. Keep pieces small to medium and place them in the bottom of the
pot.
Vegetables can be peeled and cut the night before slow cooking. Cover and refrigerate in a separate
container. Do not place in the removable pot until ready to cook.
Do not use frozen meat. Allow all meat to thaw before slow cooking.
Before placing brown ground meats such as ground beef and turkey in the slow cooker, remove excess
fat to reduce the risk of food-borne illness.
ALWAYS ENSURE THAT ALL MEAT PRODUCTS ARE COOKED TO THE PROPER INTERNAL
TEMPERATURE.
Use fresh or dried herbs instead of ground, as they retain more of their flavor during long cooking times.
Add dairy products, such as milk and cheese, toward the end of the cooking time, unless your recipe
specifies otherwise.
To thicken the flavorful juices produced during slow cooking, remove 1 cup (250 ml) of juice from the
slow cooker. In a small saucepan, combine 1 tablespoon (15 ml) water and 1 tablespoon (15 ml)
cornstarch. Stir into saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a boil. Cook and
stir for 1-2 minutes or until slightly thickened. Return mixture to slow cooker.
When cooking soups or stews, leave a 2-inch (5 cm) space between the top of the removable pot and
the food to allow the recipe to simmer. When cooking a soup or stew on HIGH, check the progress
periodically as some soups boil on HIGH.
Do not preheat the cooker before adding food, as this may shorten the lifespan of the heating element.
Avoid strong vibrations or shocks during use to prevent deformation.
Avoid drastic temperature changes. For example, do not rinse with cold water immediately after
unplugging or add cold water immediately after drying the pot from cooking.
Do not allow water to enter the interior of the cooker during cleaning.
2. After Use
3. Storage
Ensure all parts are clean and completely dry before storing.
Store the cooker in its original box or in a clean, dry place.
Never store the cooker while it is hot or wet.
To store, place the covered pot inside the base, then place the glass lid over the pot.
Keep the cord loosely coiled—never wrap it tightly around the appliance.
This cooker should be cleaned after each use.
Allow the slow cooker to cool completely before cleaning.
Wash the ceramic pot and lid in warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry.
If food has stuck to the surface, fill the pot with warm, soapy water and let it soak for several hours
before cleaning.
Wipe the inside and outside of the base with a soft, damp cloth or sponge. Do not immerse the base
in water.
Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these may damage the surface.
The ceramic cooking pot is dishwasher-safe. Place it securely in the dishwasher rack to prevent
contact with other items.
