SOLUTION
•
Make sure you use the
correct setting for the
recipe.
•
If the power was
interrupted and you
don't know for how long;
discard the food.
•
Make sure the lid is
placed evenly on top of
the ceramic bowl.
•
Keep the lid closed. Every
time the lid is removed it
adds 15–20 minutes to
the cooking time.
•
As you use the slow
cooker settings, make
note of any changes in
time on your favorite
recipes.
•
Place the vegetables on
the bottom and sides of
the ceramic bowl.
•
Place the meat on top
of the vegetables and in
the center of the ceramic
bowl.
