PREPARING YOUR CROCK-POT®SLOW COOKER FOR USE

Before you use your slow cooker, remove all packaging components and wash the lid and stoneware with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.

ASSEMBLY

1.Place stoneware into the heating base.

2.Lower the lid horizontally down onto the stoneware (see Figure 1).

HOW TO USE YOUR SLOW COOKER

1.Place the stoneware into the heating base, add your ingredients to the stoneware, and cover with the lid.

2.Plug in your Crock-Pot®slow cooker. You will have to reduce the cooking time of the recipe if the stoneware is less than three quarters full.

3.The unit will be off until the POWER button is pressed. Press the SELECT button to cycle

between time settings. 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.

4. When the cooking time has completed, the slow cooker automatically shifts to the WARM setting and the WARM light illuminates. The timer will count up and the timer window will display the amount of time the unit has been on warm.

5.The unit will automatically shut off after six hours on warm. When you are done using the unit, press the POWER button.

USAGE NOTES:

•If there is a power outage while cooking, when the power is restored the unit will be off. 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 slow cooker. For instance, to cook a recipe calling for a cooking time of 7 to 9 hours on LOW, set your 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.
