Control Knob and Temperature Settings
The Control Knob on the slow cooker offers Low and High temperature settings for cooking. The Keep Warm setting is for holding the prepared recipe at a perfect serving temperature.
The Keep Warm setting should only be used after a recipe has been thoroughly cooked. Food should not be reheated on the Keep Warm setting. If food has been cooked and then refrigerated it must be reheated on Low or High and then switched to Keep Warm.
CAUTION: The Keep Warm setting should only be used after completely cooking the recipe according to the instructions. The food must be hot enough to prevent bacterial growth before using the Keep Warm setting. Do not use the Keep Warm setting to reheat any food that has been refrigerated or frozen.

Removing Cover and Crock
When removing the cover, tilt so that the opening faces away from you to avoid being burned by steam.
The sides of the base of the slow cooker get very warm because the heating ele- ments are located here. Use the handles on the base if necessary. Use hot mitts to remove the crock.
