BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

1.Before using, wash cooking vessel and covers with warm, soapy water, rinse and dry.

2.Wipe non-stick finish of slow cooker heating base with a damp cloth and dry.

3.Wipe the non-stick finish on inside of cooking vessel with a teaspoon of vegetable cooking oil using a paper towel. This will condition the non-stick finish to prevent sticking. NOTE: Do NOT use shortening or butter to condition the finish. Leave a light film of oil on finish. The non-stick finish will need to be reconditioned after each time the cooking vessel is 1) cleaned in an automatic dishwasher; 2) the finish is treated with a special cleaner; 3) the finish is cleaned with lemon juice or vinegar to remove a mineral film; or 4) when sticking becomes a problem during use. DO NOT CONDITION NON-STICK SURFACE OF SLOW COOKER HEATING BASE BEFORE USING AS A SLOW COOKER.

USING YOUR SLOW COOKER

1.Place heating base on dry, level, heat-resistantsurface away from any edge.

2.Place foods into cooking vessel, cover and place cooking vessel onto heating base. If you wish to brown or precook any foods before slow cooking, place cooking vessel directly on range top unit over medium heat. After foods are browned or cooked, transfer cooking vessel to heating base. NOTE: Use only plastic, rubber, wooden, or non-metal cooking tools in metal cooking vessel. Use of metal cooking tools will scratch the non-stick surface.

3.Attach cord to base, then plug cord into a 120 volt, AC electric outlet only.

4.Slow cooker base offers heat settings of “Keep Warm,” “LO,” “Med” and “HI,” or will be numbered 1-5. Heat setting #1 should only be used to warm dinner rolls, muffins, etc. Heat setting Keep Warm, “WM” (#2) should only be used to keep cooked foods warm for serving, whereas “LO” (#3), “Med” (#4) and “HI” (#5) are to be used for actual cooking of foods. Set dial directly at setting or anywhere between for complete temperature control. NOTE: DO NOT USE A HEAT SETTING BELOW “LO” (#3) FOR ACTUAL COOKING OF RAW FOODS AS THE SLOW COOKER WILL NOT GET HOT ENOUGH TO COOK FOODS.
