IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS To prevent personal injury or property damage, read and follow all instructions and warnings. When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed including the following: • Read all instructions, including these important safeguards and the care and use instructions in this manual.
• Do not use glass cover if it is chipped or has deep scratches. Weakened glass can shatter during use. Discard immediately. • Do not place glass cover with metal ring in the microwave oven. • Glass is breakable. Care should be taken not to drop or impact the glass cover. If the cover breaks, it will do so in many pieces.
SING Place heating base on dry, level, heat-resistant surface away from any edge. Place foods into cooking pot, cover and place cooking pot onto heating base. If you wish to brown or precook any foods before slow cooking, place slow cooker pot directly on range top unit over medium heat.
• Adapting Recipes to Slow Cooking: Many of your favorite oven and range top recipes can be adapted to slow cooking with a few minor changes. Here are some important points to remember: Amount of Liquid: Because little moisture evaporates during slow cooking, reduce amount of liquid in your recipe by one-half (1 cup of liquid is enough for most recipes).
• Using Cooking pot on Top of Range: The cooking pot (without heating base) can be used for range top cooking. Place vessel on large range unit. Use medium to low heat. The use of low to medium heat will prevent foods from overcooking, reduce spattering and help retain natural juices.
LEANING Allow the entire unit (base, metal cooking pot, cover) to cool completely before cleaning. Set metal cooking pot and cover on dry, heat-protective surface for gradual cooling. NOTE: Do not run cold water over hot glass cover as it may crack or shatter if cooled suddenly.
