Other Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household use only.
This appliance is only intended for the preparation, cooking, and
serving of foods. This appliance is not intended for use with any
nonfood materials or products.
WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided
with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric
shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat
the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by
using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce
the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a longer cord. If a
longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used.
The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater
than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the
extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
CROCK AND LID: PRECAUTIONS AND INFORMATION
• Please handle crock and lid carefully to ensure long life.
• Avoid sudden, extreme temperature changes. For example, do not
place a hot lid or crock into cold water, or onto a wet surface.
• Avoid hitting crock or lid against faucet or other hard surfaces.
• Do not use crock or lid if chipped, cracked, or severely scratched.
• Do not use abrasive cleansers or metal scouring pads.
• The bottom of crock is very rough and can damage countertop.
Use caution.
• The crock and lid can become very hot. Use caution. Do not place
directly on any unprotected surface or countertop.
• The crock is microwave-safe and oven-proof, but never heat crock
when empty. Never place lid on a burner or stove top. Do not
place lid in a microwave oven or conventional oven.
REMOVING LID AND CROCK
When removing lid, tilt so that opening faces away from you to
avoid being burned by steam. The sides of the slow cooker’s base get very warm because the heating elements are located here. Use handles on base if necessary.
Use hot mitts to remove crock.

Tips for Slow Cooking
• The crock should be at least half-filled for best results. If only half-
filled, check for doneness 1 to 2 hours earlier than recipe states.
• Stirring is not necessary when slow cooking. Removing lid results
in major heat loss and the cooking time may need to be extended.
However, if cooking on HIGH, you may want to stir occasionally.
• Many recipes call for cooking all day. If your morning schedule
doesn’t allow time to prepare a recipe, do it the night before.
Place all ingredients in crock, cover with lid, and refrigerate
overnight. In the morning, simply place the crock in the slow
cooker.
• When choosing recipes for this slow cooker, look for recipes
that call for cooking on HIGH 4 to 5 hours or LOW 6 to 8
hours. Recipes calling for less cooking time should be checked
periodically for doneness.
• Some foods are not suited for extended cooking in a slow cooker.
Pasta, seafood, milk, cream, or sour cream should be added 2
hours before serving. Evaporated milk or condensed soups are
perfect for slow cooking.
• The higher the fat content of meat, the less liquid is needed. If
cooking meat with a high fat content, place thick onion slices
underneath so meat will not sit on (and cook in) fat.
• Slow cookers allow for very little evaporation. If making your
favorite soup, stew, or sauce, reduce liquid called for in original
recipe. If too thick, liquid can be added later.
• If cooking a vegetable-type casserole, there will need to be liquid
in the recipe to prevent scorching on the sides of the crock.
• If cooking soups or stews, leave a 2-inch (5.1-cm) space between
the top of the crock and the food so that the recipe can come to a
simmer.
Food Safety Tips
• Do not use frozen, uncooked meat in the slow cooker. Thaw any
meat or poultry before slow cooking.
• To store leftovers after cooking, do NOT place the entire crock in the
refrigerator since contents will take too long to cool. Instead, divide
leftovers into smaller containers and place into refrigerator.
• Never allow undercooked or raw meat to sit at room temperature
in the slow cooker. Once meat is placed into the crock, it should be
cooked immediately (unless prepping slow cooker the night before,
where crock should be placed into the refrigerator).
• Visit www.foodsafety.gov for more information on safe internal
cooking temperatures.

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM PROBABLE CAUSE/SOLUTION
Food is undercooked. • Was food cooked on the KEEP WARM setting? Do not cook on KEEP WARM. Only cook on LOW or
HIGH setting.
• Was power interrupted?
• Did you select the LOW heat setting, but used a cooking time based on the HIGH heat setting?
• Crock was overfilled. For best results, fill crock no more than 1 inch (2.5 cm) from the lid.
• Lid was not placed correctly. Check to make sure lid is seated properly on the crock.
My meal was
overcooked. Why?
• Foods will continue to increase in temperature after desired temperature has been reached. Check
food when cooking time has been reached.
• Did you select the HIGH heat setting, but used a cooking time based on the LOW heat setting?
• Crock was less than half full. Check for doneness 1 to 2 hours earlier than recipe states.
The food isn’t done after
cooking the amount of
time recommended in
my recipe.
• This can be due to voltage variations (which are commonplace everywhere) or altitude. The slight
fluctuations in power do not have a noticeable effect on most appliances. However, it can alter the
cooking times in the slow cooker by extending the cooking times. Allow sufficient time and select the
appropriate heat setting. You will learn through experience if a shorter or longer time is needed.
Lid gasket collapsed. • This can be caused by sudden temperature change, like running cold water over a warm lid. Allow lid
to sit at room temperature. It will return to the original shape within 24 hours.
• To help maintain the shape of the gasket, do not cook with clips latched and do not store empty unit
with clips latched.
