OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: The stoneware CANNOT stand the shock of sudden temperature changes. If the stoneware is hot, DO NOT add cold food. Before cooking frozen food, add some warm liquid.

1.Place food into the stoneware and cover with the glass lid. DO NOT FILL THE STONEWARE TO THE TOP WITH FOOD. For best results, the Slow Cooker should be at least half-filled. If cooking soups or stews, allow a 2-inch space between the food and the top of the stoneware, so ingredients can come to simmer. When cooking a combination of meats and vegetables, place the vegetables in the bottom then add the meat and other ingredients.

2.Plug the cord into an electrical outlet.

3.Switch the Slow Cooker on LOW/HIGH/WARM setting as instructed by a recipe.

LOW is recommended for cooking in extended period of time. 1 hour on HIGH equals about 2 to 2 ½ hours on LOW.

WARM is recommended for keeping already cooked food at serving temperature. DO NOT cooking on WARM setting.

4.Using oven mitts, carefully remove the glass lid by grasping the lid knob and lift the lid slightly away from any people. This allows the steam to escape before removing the lid.

5.Allow a few seconds for all steam to escape. Then, using oven mitts, remove the stoneware from the base nit. Serve contents. If serving directly from the stoneware, always place a trivet or protective padding under the stoneware before placing it on a table or countertop.

6.Unplug from electrical outlet. Allow it to cool completely before cleaning, see CARE AND MAINTENANCE.

7.Even when switched OFF and unplugged, the Slow Cooker remains hot for some time after its use; set it aside and allow the unit to cool before cleaning or storing.
