FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

My slow cooker is not heating up; what am I doing wrong? Be sure the power cord is plugged into a suitable outlet. See Electrical Requirements on page 4. Then, check to make sure you’ve selected both the cooking mode and time. Finally, press the Start/Cancel button to start the cooking process.

How do I know which heat setting to choose? Refer to our handy “Suggested Slow Cooker Settings” in the Quick Start Guide. Also, you may want to look at existing slow cooker recipes. They provide suggested cook times and heat settings. Most foods may be cooked on either the Low or the High setting. It depends on the amount of time available for cooking and how tender you want the food to become. The longer the cook time, the more tender the food.

I’ve cooked my food for the designated time, but it’s not steaming hot. How could this be? Check to make sure you didn’t start with frozen ingredients. All foods you place in the slow cooker should be thawed before using. Also, determine if you’ve overloaded the slow cooker. The USDA recommends filling a slow cooker between ½ and ¾ full. Finally, make sure you cut large pieces of meat or poultry into smaller pieces before cooking.
