HOW TO USE YOUR CROCK-POT® SLOW COOKER
1.Place food in stoneware according to recipe
2.Plug in slow cooker. Put on a heat resistant surface.
3.There are three temperature settings. LOW (I) is recommended for slow
LOW (I). WARM ( 
) is for keeping food warm only. DO NOT cook on WARM ( 
) setting. Push the MODE key pad to set the desired temperature.
4.Push 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.
5.Frozen food such as vegetables and shrimp may be used as part of a recipe. However, do not cook frozen meats (such as roasts or chick- ens) unless you first add at least 1 cup of warm liquid. The liquid will act as a "cushion" to prevent sudden changes in temperature. Cook recipes containing frozen meats an additional 4 hours on LOW (I), or 2 hours on HIGH (II).
6.When the cooking time is completed, the slow cooker will automati-
cally shift to the WARM ( 
) setting and the KEEP WARM light will come on. NOTE: We do not recommend using the WARM ( 
) set- ting for more than 4 hours.
7.To turn the slow cooker off, push the OFF ( 
) button. Unplug the unit from the wall outlet.
8.Always cook with the lid on.
9.Follow the recommended cooking times.
10.Do not use slow cooker stoneware for the storage of food.
11.Do not reheat foods in your slow cooker.
12.Do not set heated base filled with food on a finished wood table.
13.Unplug when cooking is done and before cleaning.
14.Removable stoneware is ovenproof and microwave safe. Do not use stoneware on gas or electric burners or under a broiler. The lid is NOT ovenproof or microwave safe.
