USING YOUR SLOW COOKER
1. Prepare recipe according to instructions. Place food in the
Ceramic Liner and cover with the Glass Lid. Do not fill the
Ceramic Liner to the brim with food. Always cook with the Lid
on and the Liner in position. Remember that frequent lifting of
the Lid during cooking delays cooking time. When cooking a
meat and vegetable combination, place the vegetables in the
bottom of the Liner first. Then add the meat and other
ingredients. If the Liner is hot, DO NOT add cold food and vice
versa. The Ceramic Liner cannot stand the shock of sudden
temperature changes.
2. Plug into a 120V AC outlet.
3. Turn the Control Knob to the desired cooking setting, HIGH,
LOW or WARM.
CAUTION: THE COOKING BASE UNIT WILL GET VERY WARM
DURING COOKING. THIS IS WHERE THE HEATING
ELEMENT IS LOCATED. IF NECESSARY TO HANDLE, USE POT
HOLDERS OR OVEN MITTS.
4. Cook according to recipe instructions.
5. When cooking time is complete, turn the Control Knob to the
WARM position to keep warm, or to the OFF position. Unplug
from outlet.
6. Using oven mitts, carefully remove the Glass Lid by grasping
the Lid Knob and lifting the Lid slightly away from you. This
will allow the steam to escape before removing the Lid.
7. Allow a few seconds for all steam to escape. Then, using oven
mitts, firmly grasp the Liner Handles to remove the Ceramic
Liner from the Cooking Base Unit.
NOTE: If you are moving the Slow Cooker, grasp the unit by the
Base Unit Handles; use pot
holders or oven mitts.
(See Figure 1.)
8. Even when switched OFF and
unplugged, the Slow Cooker
remains hot for some time
after using; set aside and
allow unit to cool before
cleaning or storing.
9. Allow to cool completely
before cleaning; see CARE
AND CLEANING.
