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.
wWARNING 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.
A short power-supply cord is used to reduce the risk resulting from it
being grabbed by children, becoming entangled in, or tripping over a
longer cord.
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 the crock is very rough and can damage the
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 crock on a burner or stove top.
• Do not place lid in a microwave oven, conventional oven, or on
stove top.
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 oven 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 or fsis.usda.gov for more information on
safe internal cooking temperatures.

Troubleshooting
Food is undercooked.
• Was food cooked on the KEEP WARM setting? 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, they can alter the
cooking times in the slow cooker by extending the cooking times.
You will learn through experience if a shorter or longer time is
needed.
