HOW TO USE YOUR CROCK-POT®SLOW COOKER

3.Select temperature setting (HIGH or LOW).

NOTE: WARM is ONLY for keeping already cooked food at the perfect serving temperature. DO NOT cook on the WARM setting.

4.Press the "Time" arrows to scroll through the timed cooking options. The time can be set in increments of 30 minutes up to 20 hours. Select the time based on the length of time indicated in the recipe. The time will begin to count down in one minute increments.

USAGE NOTES:

If there is a power outage, the displayand lights blink when the power is restored. All slow cooker settings have been cleared and must be reset. As a result, the food may be unsafe to eat. If you are unaware of how long the power was out, we suggest you discard the food inside.

For recipes that require a range of times, select the time in the middle of the range. For instance, to cook a recipe calling for a cooking time of 7 to 9 hours on LOW,set your Crock-Pot®slow cooker to 8 hours.

If desired, you can manually switch to WARM when your recipe is done cooking.

To avoid over or undercooking, always fill the stoneware ½ to ¾ full and conform to the recommended cook times(unless guidedotherwise in our slow cooker recipes).

Do not overfill stoneware. To prevent spillover, do not fill stoneware higher than ¾ full.

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR SLOW COOKER

ALWAYS turn your slow cooker off, unplug it from the electricaloutlet, and allow it to cool before cleaning.

The lid and stoneware can be washed in the dishwasheror with hot, soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaning compounds or scouring pads. A cloth, sponge, or rubber spatula will usually remove the 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.
