Before Cleaning

2.UNPLUG – Carefully unplug the slow cooker’s power cord from electrical outlet.

3.REMOVE LEFTOVERS – Remove any leftover food and place in storage containers before refrigerating. Do not store leftovers in the crock.

4.COOL – Let slow cooker cool completely before attempting any cleaning. The metal parts of the base will be hot after use.

WARNING

Unplug slow cooker before cleaning. Failure to do so may result in risk of serious injury and electric shock.

Cleaning the Slow Cooker

Allow the slow cooker to cool and then remove the ceramic crock.

Wash the crock and glass cover in the dishwasher, if desired. Or hand wash in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

Wipe the slow cooker base with a clean, damp cloth. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they may scratch the surface of the slow cooker.

DO NOT immerse the slow cooker base, cord or plug in water. Immersing the base in water may be dangerous and will void the Warranty.

Place crock in slow cooker base and place glass cover on top.

STORAGE

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 page 4 for electrical requirements. 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 Settings chart on page 4. 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. You may want to take the guess work out of setting the controls and use the Auto mode, which is specifically designed to switch to Low after 2 hours on High for the remainder of the programmed cooking time.

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. Ensure the slow cooker is not overfilled. The USDA recommends filling a slow cooker between

½and ¾ full. Finally, make sure you cut large pieces of meat or poultry into smaller pieces before cooking.
