HOW TO USE yOUR SlOW COOKER

1. Place the stoneware into the heating base, add your ingredients to the stoneware, and cover with
the lid (See Fig. 1).
2. Plug in your Crock-Pot® slow cooker and select the temperature setting. Refer to your specific
recipe for precise cook times.
NOTE: Some models feature a WARM setting. WARM is ONLY for keeping already cooked food
warm. DO NOT cook on the WARM setting. We do not recommend using the WARM setting for
more than 4 hours.
3. When cooking has finished, unplug your slow cooker and allow it to cool before cleaning.

USAgE NOTES:

• If you suspect that the power has gone off, the food inside may be unsafe to eat. If you are
unaware of how long the power was off, we suggest you discard the food inside.
• For recipes that require a range of times, select the mid-range time. For example, for a recipe
calling for a cooking time of 7 to 9 hours on LOW, cook for 8 hours.
• To avoid over or under-cooking, always fill the stoneware 1/2 to 3/4 full and conform to
recommended cook times.
• Do not overfill stoneware. To prevent spillover, do not fill stoneware higher than 3/4 full.
• Always cook, with the lid on, for the recommended time. Do not remove the lid during the first two
hours of cooking, to allow the heat to build up efficiently.
• Always wear oven gloves when handling the lid or stoneware.
• Unplug when cooking has finished and before cleaning.
• Removable stoneware is ovenproof and microwave safe. Do not use removable stoneware on
gas or electric burner or under grill. Refer to chart below.
