4-7 QT Smart Pot 08ESM1.qxd:9100050002460
HOW TO USE YOUR SMART-POT
1. Place the stoneware into the heating base, add your ingredients to
the stoneware, and cover with the lid.
2. Plug in your Smart-Pot slow cooker. The POWER light flashes
®
indicating that the unit is plugged in, but not turned on.
3. Press the COOK TIME button to select a programmed time and
temperature. Cook time options include 4 or 6 hours on HIGH, or 8 or 10
hours on LOW. The corresponding light illuminates, the slow cooker
heats, and the internal timer starts counting down the time.
NOTE: WARM is ONLY for keeping already cooked food at the
perfect serving temperature until you are ready to eat. DO NOT cook
on the WARM setting.
4. When the cooking time has completed, the Smart-Pot
automatically shifts to the WARM setting and the WARM light illuminates.
NOTE: We do not recommend using the WARM setting for more
than 4 hours.
5. To turn the Smart-Pot ® slow cooker off, press the OFF button and
unplug the unit from the outlet.

USAGE NOTES:

• If there is a power outage, when the power is restored the display and
lights blink. All slow cooker settings have been cleared and must be
reset. However, the food may be unsafe to eat. If you are unaware of
how long the power was out, we suggest you discard the food.
• For recipes that require a range of times, select the time closest to the
setting on your Smart-Pot ® slow cooker. For instance, to cook a recipe
calling for a cooking time of 7 to 9 hours on LOW, set your Smart-Pot
slow cooker to 8 hours.
• To avoid over- or under-cooking, always fill the stoneware ½ to ¾ full to
conform to recommended cook times (with the exception of certain
cakes and custards, and as guided otherwise in our slow cooker recipes).
• Do not overfill stoneware. To prevent spillover, do not fill stoneware
higher than ¾ full.

HOW TO USE YOUR SMART-POT
• Always cook, with the lid on, for the recommended time. Do not remove
the lid during the first two hours of cooking, to allow the heat to build up
efficiently.
• Always wear oven mitts when handling the lid or stoneware.
• Unplug when cooking is done and before cleaning.
• Removable stoneware is ovenproof and microwave safe. Do not use
removable stoneware on gas or electric burner or under broiler. Refer to
chart below.

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR SLOW COOKER

• ALWAYS turn your slow cooker off, unplug it from the electrical outlet,
and allow it to cool before cleaning.
• The lid and stoneware can be washed in the dishwasher or with hot,
soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaning compounds or scouring
pads. A cloth, sponge, or rubber spatula will usually remove residue.
To remove water spots and other stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner or
vinegar.
• As with any fine ceramic, the stoneware and lid will not withstand
®
sudden temperature changes. Do not wash the stoneware or lid with
cold water when they are hot.
• The outside of the heating base may be cleaned with a soft cloth and
warm, soapy water. Wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
CAUTION: Never immerse the heating base in water or other liquid.
• No other servicing should be performed.
