INTRODUCTION TO SLOW COOKING

Slow cooking occurs at temperatures just around boiling. The Slow Cooker can operate at LOW all day or
night if required. Cooking on HIGH is very much like cooking in 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. When cooking is complete, food can be kept on WARM for short periods of time. To turn
the Slow Cooker OFF, turn the control dial to the OFF position. Always unplug from electrical outlet when
not in use.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

1. Carefully unpack the slow cooker.
2. Wash cooking pot and glass lid in warm, soapy water. Rinse well and dry thoroughly.
3. Wipe interior and exterior surfaces of the base with a soft, moist cloth to remove dust particles
collected during packing and handling. NEVER IMMERSE THE BASE, ITS CORD OR PLUG IN WATER
OR ANY OTHER LIQUID, IT WILL CAUSE BURNS TO HANDS AND LIMBS.
4. Slow cooker should be operated before initial use. After cleaning unit, place cooking pot inside the
base. Pour 2 cups of water into the cooking pot and cover with lid. Plug slow cooker into electrical
wall outlet and turn to HIGH setting. Allow to operate for approximately 30 minutes.
5. After 30 minutes, switch OFF and unplug. Allow unit to cool. Remove cooking pot, and discard
water. Rinse the cooking pot, dry thoroughly, and replace it in the base.

LINE CORD SAFETY TIPS

1. Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.
2. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.
3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.
4. Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are found, this indicates
that the appliance should be serviced and the line cord replaced.
5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on the cord
where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.
An extension cord is not recommended for use with this appliance.
DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE, OR IF APPLIANCE WORKS
INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.
