been cooked.
1. Little or no stirring is required when using the Low or Warm settings. Some stirring
may be required in the Medium or High settings to evenly distribute avors.

not form a tight t on the ceramic pot and should be centered on the pot for best
results. Frequently lifting the glass lid will delay the cooking time.
3. The slow cooker should be at least half-lled for best results.
4. When cooking soups or stews, leave a 2-inch space between the top of the
ceramic pot and the food so that the food may be allowed to simmer.
5. When cooking a meat and vegetable combination, place the meat in the bottom of
the ceramic pot.

many other factors.
7. Certain dishes may not cook if the room temperature is below 41°F (5°C).
8. DO NOT use frozen meat or poultry in a slow cooker. Thaw all meat or poultry
before slow cooking.

Before using your new slow cooker, remove any labels, stickers or tags that may be
attached to appliance. Thoroughly clean the appliance by:
• Washing the glass lid and ceramic pot in hot, soapy water.
• Rinsing and drying both the lid and pot thoroughly.
• DO NOT immerse the metal housing in water.
• Placing slow slow cooker on a dry, at, level surface such as a countertop or table.
NOTE: If you are using your slow cooker for the rst time, it may emit an odor for up to
10 minutes. This is due to the initial heating of the materials used in making the slow
cooker. The odor is safe and should not recur after initial heating.
