OPERATION
Your Cuisinart™ Slow Cooker cooks your food automatically when you set the time and the temperature. When time expires, the unit automatically switches to the “Warm” setting and the “Warm” LED illuminates. Your Slow Cooker also gives you the option to manually change the temperature. All you need to do is set the desired temperature and the unit will remain at that temperature until the unit is turned off or another temperature is selected.
Cooking WITH the Timer
1.Place the unit on a clean, dry counter.
2.Remove glass lid.
3.Fill ceramic pot with ingredients.
4.Place lid back on top of the ceramic pot.
5.Plug in unit.
6.Set desired time by turning the timer dial to the recommended cooking time:
7.Set desired temperature by turning the temperature dial to the “Low”, “High” or “Warm” setting.
NOTE: The “Warm” setting is not a cooking function; therefore, it is only for use with preheated foods.
8.The LED next to “Cook” will illuminate to denote the unit is in “Cook” mode and set on the “Low” or “High” temperature setting. For the “Warm” setting, the LED next to “Warm” will remain lit until the unit is turned off.
NOTE: If the timer is set to “0 Hours”, the unit will be in “Warm” mode no matter what the temperature dial states.
9.Once time has expired, the unit will automatically switch to the “Warm” setting and the LED next to “Warm” will illuminate.
10.Unit will continue to be in “Warm” mode until it is turned off by turning the temperature dial to the “Off” position.

Cooking WITHOUT the Timer
NOTE: We recommend that when cooking anything containing meat in a slow cooker, cook on the “High” temperature setting for up to 2 hours or until the meat reaches 140°F (60°C), then reduce to the “Low” temperature setting. This ensures that the meat will reach food safe temperatures in the proper amount of time.
