Precautions For Use Around Children

To prevent burns or other personal injuries to children, read and follow all instructions and warnings.

Precautions For Use Around Children

Always supervise children.

Do not allow children to operate or be near the crockery cooker, as the outside surfaces are hot during use.

Do not allow cord to hang over any edge where a child can reach it. Arrange cord to avoid pulling, tripping or entanglement.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Using Your Crockery Cooker

Before using your Crockery Cooker the first time, clean the entire unit according to the cleaning instructions.

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

2.Place foods into cooking pot, cover and place into heating base. (If you wish to brown or precook any foods before slow cooking, this must be done in a different cooking utensil on top of the range). Never place ceramic-cooking pot on top of range, as it will break from direct contact with heat.

3.With heat control set at OFF, plug cord into a 120 volt AC electric outlet only.

4.Set heat control to LO or HI and cook for recommended time given in recipe. If your crockery cooker has a signal light, it will glow when cooker is on. As a general guideline, most meat and vegetable combinations need 8 to 10 hours of cooking at LO, or 4 to 6 hours at HI. Do not cook foods at Keep Warm setting, as temperature is not hot enough to cook foods. Use Keep Warm setting only to keep hot, cooked food warm for serving. Avoid removing cover when slow cooking as cooking time will be increased due to loss of temperature. Remove cover only when needed to stir occasionally or when adding ingredients. Always lift cover slowly, directing steam away from you

5.After food is cooked, reduce heat to Keep Warm for serving or turn control to OFF. Unplug cord from electric outlet after use. Allow cooker to cool before cleaning.

Some smoke and/or odor may occur upon heating due to the release of manufacturing oils – this is normal.

Some expansion/contraction sounds may occur during heating and cooling – this is normal
