PROBLEM
Cannot select TEMP
and/or HOURS settings.
Food is undercooked.
The food isn't done af-
ter cooking the amount
of time recommended in
my recipe.
My meal was
overcooked. Why?
THINGS TO CHECK
• Is the unit plugged in?
• Test that the electrical outlet is working with a
lamp in known working order.
• Was food cooked on the Warm setting? Do not
cook on Warm setting; always cook on Low or
High heat settings.
• Did you select the Low heat setting, but used a
cooking time based on the High heat setting?
• Did you have the glass lid placed correctly on
the slow cooker?
• This can be due to voltage variations (which are
commonplace everywhere) or altitude. The slight
fluctuations in power do not have a noticeable
effect on most appliances. However, they
can alter cooking times in the slow cooker by
extending the cooking times. Allow sufficient time
and select the appropriate heat setting. You will
learn through experience if a shorter or longer
time is needed.
• Was the removable stoneware crock at least
half full? The slow cooker has been designed
to thoroughly cook food in a filled removable
stoneware crock. If the removable stoneware
crock is only half-filled, check for doneness 1 to 2
hours earlier than recipe time.
• Did you select hours based on a Low heat
recipe?
• Foods will continue to increase in temperature
after desired temperature has been reached.
