ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT
SAFEGUARDS
CAUTION HOT SURFACES: This appliance generates heat and escaping steam during
use. Proper precautions must be taken to prevent the risk of burns, res or other
injury to persons or damage to property.
1. A person who has not read and understood all operating and safety instructions
is not qualied to operate this appliance. All users of this appliance must read and
understand this instruction manual before operating or cleaning this appliance.
2. If this appliance falls or accidentally becomes immersed in water, unplug it from
the wall outlet immediately. Do not reach into the water!
3. When using this appliance, provide adequate air space above and on all sides for
air circulation. Do not operate this appliance while it is touching or near curtains,
wall coverings, clothing, dishtowels or other ammable materials.
4. Do not leave this appliance unattended during use.
5. If this appliance begins to malfunction during use, immediately unplug the cord.
Do not use or attempt to repair a malfunctioning appliance!
6. The cord to this appliance should be plugged into a 120 V AC electrical wall outlet.
7. Do not use this appliance in an unstable position or inclined surface.
8. Never use the stoneware liner on a gas or electric cooktop or on an open ame or
in a heated oven.
9. Lift off lid carefully to avoid scalding, and allow water to drip into stoneware liner.
10. CAUTION: To protect against damage or electric shock, do not cook in base unit.
Cook only in the stoneware liner provided.
Notes on the Cord
The provided short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) should be
used toreduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer
cord. Do not use an extension cord with this product.
Notes on the Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce
the risk of electric shock, this plug will t in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not t fullyinto the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a
qualied electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.
Plasticizer Warning
CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating to the nish of the counter top or
table top or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC coasters or place mats between the
appliance andthenish of the counter top or table top. Failure to do so may cause the
nish to darken; permanent blemishes may occur or stains can appear.
Electric Power
If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance may not
operate properly. It should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other
appliances.

Operating Instructions
1. Prepare recipe according to instructions.
2. Place food into the stoneware liner and cover with glass lid. DO NOT FILL THE LINER TOTHE TOP WITH
FOOD. Remember that frequent lifting of the lid during cooking delays the cooking time. When cooking a
meat and vegetable combination, place the vegetables in the bottom of the stoneware liner rst. Then add
the meat and other ingredients.
WARNING: The stoneware liner CANNOT stand the shock of sudden temperature changes. If the liner is
hot, DO NOT add cold food. Before cooking frozen food, addsome warm liquid.
3. Plug cord into a 120 V AC outlet.
4. Turn control dial to select temperature setting: LOW or HIGH or WARM.
5. Cook according to recipe instructions.
6. CAUTION: The base unit will get very warm during cooking. This is where the heating elements are
located. Use pot holders or oven mitts when moving or handling the unit (see Figure 2).
7. When cooking time is complete, turn the control dial to WARM for a short time before serving or to the
OFF position, and unplug fromelectrical outlet.
8. 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.
9. Allow to cool completely before cleaning, see CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS.
NOTE: If you are moving the Slow Cooker, grasp the unit by the base unit handles; usepotholders or oven
mitts (see Figure 2).
10. Even when turned OFF and unplugged, the Slow Cooker remains hot for some time afterusing; set aside
and allow unit to cool before cleaning or storing.

Hints For Slow Cooking
• Meats will not brown during the cooking process. If you desire browning, heat a small amount of oil in a
skillet and brown meats prior to placing into the stoneware liner.
• Whole herbs and spices avor better in slow cooking than crushed or ground.
• When cooking in a Slow Cooker, remember that liquids do not boil away like they do inconventional
cooking. Reduce the amount of liquid in any recipe that is not designed fora Slow Cooker. The exceptions
to this rule would be rice and soups. Remember, liquids can always be added at a later time if necessary. If
a recipe results intoo much liquid at the end of the cooking time, remove the glass lid and turn the control
dial to HIGH. After about 30-45 minutes the amount of liquid will be reduced.
• Most recipes that call for uncooked meat and vegetables require about 6-8 hours onLOW temperature.
• High fat meats can result in dishes with less avor. Pre-cooking or browning will help reduce the amount
of fat and help to preserve the color. The higher the fat content, theless liquid needed. If cooking meat
with a high fat content, use thick onion slices under it so that the meat will not sit and cook in the fat. If
necessary, use a slice of bread, aspoon, or a straining spoon to skim off excess fat from top of foods
before serving.
• Foods cut into uniform pieces will cook faster and more evenly than foods left whole suchas
roast or poultry.
• Use the WARM setting to keep cooked food at the perfect serving temperature.
DO NOT cook foods on the WARM setting.
NOTE: Do not keep foods on the WARM setting for more than 4 hours.
Converting Standard Recipes to Slow Cooking
• Vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, turnips and beets require longer cooking time thanmany meats. Be
sure to place them on the bottom of the Slow Cooker and cover them with liquid.
• If adding fresh milk or yogurt, this should be done during the last 2 hours. Evaporated milk may be added
at the start of cooking.
• Rice, noodles and pasta are not recommended for long cooking periods. Cook them separately and then
add to the Slow Cooker during the last 30 minutes.
User Maintenance Instructions
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable parts.
Do not try to repair it yourself. Any servicing requiring disassembly other than cleaning,
must be performed by a qualied appliance repair technician.
1. Avoid sudden, extreme temperature changes. For example, do not place a hot glass lid
or stoneware liner into cold water or onto a wet surface.
2. Do not use the stoneware liner to store food in the refrigerator, and then reheat inthebase unit.
The sudden temperature change may crack the liner.
3. Avoid hitting the stoneware liner and glass lid against the faucet or other hard surfaces.
4. Do not use stoneware liner or glass lid if chipped, cracked, or severely scratched.
CAUTION: NEVER IMMERSE BASE UNIT OR CORD IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.
1. Always unplug and allow to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Both the liner and the glass lid may be cleaned in the dishwasher.
To clean by hand, wash the stoneware liner and glass lid in warm, soapy water.
3. If food sticks to the stoneware liner, ll with warm soapy water and allow to soak before cleaning with a
plastic scouring pad. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
4. Wipe interior and exterior of the base unit with a soft, slightly damp cloth or sponge. Never use abrasive
cleansers or scouring pads to clean the base unit, as they may damage the surfaces.
Storing Instructions
1. Be sure all parts are clean and dry before storing.
2. Store appliance in its box or in a clean, dry place.
3. Never store Slow Cooker while it is hot or wet.
4. To store, place stoneware liner inside the base unit and the glass lid over the stoneware liner; to protect
the glass lid, wrap with a soft cloth and place upside down over the liner.
5. Never wrap cord tightly around the appliance; keep it loosely coiled.
