•Some smoke and/or odor may occur upon heating due to the release of manufacturing oils – this is normal.

•Some expansion/contraction sounds may occur during heating and cooling – this is normal.

USING YOUR SLOW COOKER – EVERYDAY USE

1.Place heating base on dry, level, heat-resistant surface, away from any edge.

2.Place foods into slow cooker pot, cover and place cooking pot onto heating base. If you wish to brown or precook any foods before slow cooking, place slow cooker pot directly on range top unit over medium heat. After foods are browned or cooked, transfer cooking pot to heating base. Note: Use only plastic, rubber, wooden or non-metal cooking tools in metal cooking pot. Use of metal cooking tools will scratch the non-stick surface.

3.Attach cord to base, then plug cord into a 120 volt AC electric outlet only.

4.Slow cooker base will offer heat settings Keep Warm, LO, Med and HI, or be numbered 1-5. Heat setting #1 should only be used to warm dinner rolls, muffins, etc. Heat setting Keep Warm (#2) should only be used to keep cooked foods warm for serving, whereas LO (#3), Med (#4) and HI (#5) are to be used for actual cooking of foods. Set dial directly at setting or anywhere between for complete temperature control. NOTE: DO NOT USE A HEAT SETTING BELOW LO (#3) FOR ACTUAL COOKING OF RAW FOODS AS THE SLOW COOKER WILL NOT GET HOT ENOUGH TO COOK FOODS. DO NOT USE THE GRIDDLE SETTING FOR SLOW COOKING- OVER COOKING WILL OCCUR.

Set heat setting and cook food for recommended time as given in recipe. As a general guideline, most meat and vegetable combinations need 7 to 10 hours of cooking at LO (#3), 4 to 6 hours of cooking at Med (#4) or 2 to 3 hours of cooking at HI (#5). Meats will become most tender when cooked for the longer time at the lower heat setting. Avoid removing cover when slow cooking as cooking time will be increased due to loss of temperature. Remove cover only when needed to stir occasionally or when adding ingredients.

Do not strike utensils against pot or cover rim. Glass cover may shatter as a result.
