Operating Instructions

1. Prepare recipe according to instructions.
2. Place food into the stoneware liner and cover with glass lid. DO NOT FILL THE LINER TO THE TOP WITH
FOOD. Remember that frequent lifting of the lid during cooking delays the cooking time. When cooking a
meat and vegetable combination, place the vegetables in the bottom of the stoneware liner first. Then add
the meat and other ingredients.
WARNING: The stoneware liner CANNOT stand the shock of sudden temperature changes. If the liner is
hot, DO NOT add cold food. Before cooking frozen food, add some warm liquid.
3. Plug cord into a 120 V AC outlet.
4. Turn control dial to select temperature setting: LOW or HIGH or WARM.
5. Cook according to recipe instructions.
6. CAUTION: The base unit will get very warm during cooking. This is where the heating elements are
located. Use pot holders or oven mitts when moving or handling the unit (see Figure 2).
7. When cooking time is complete, turn the control dial to WARM for a short time before serving or to the
OFF position, and unplug from electrical outlet.
8. Using oven mitts, carefully remove the glass lid by grasping the lid knob and lifting the lid slightly away
from you. This will allow the steam to escape before removing the lid.
9. Allow to cool completely before cleaning, see CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS.
NOTE: If you are moving the Slow Cooker, grasp the unit by the base unit handles; use pot holders or oven
mitts (see Figure 2).
10. Even when turned OFF and unplugged, the Slow Cooker remains hot for some time after using; set aside
and allow unit to cool before cleaning or storing.
