OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
This product is intended for household use only.
This product is only intended for the preparation, cooking, and serv-
ing of foods. This product is not intended for use with any non-food
materials or products.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one
wide blade) that reduces 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 using an adapter. If
the plug does not fit, 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 counter-
top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally
tripped over.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
1. Read all instructions.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs with oven mitts
when cooking as they may be hot.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug,
or base in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by
or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning.
Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug,
or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged
in any manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for
information on examination, repair, or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the
appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot
surfaces, including stove.
10. Do not place base on or near hot gas or an electric burner, or in
a heated oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance
containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
12. To disconnect slow cooker, turn control knob to OFF; then
remove plug from wall outlet.
13. CAUTION: To prevent damage or shock hazard, do not cook in
base. Cook only in removable stovetop-safe cookware.
14. Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as adding refrigerated
foods into heated stovetop-safe cookware.
15. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury
to persons, including the following:

GLASS LID AND STOVETOP-SAFE COOKWARE: PRECAUTIONS AND INFORMATION
• Please handle lid and stovetop-safe cookware carefully to ensure
long life.

Tips for Slow Cooking
• The stovetop-safe cookware should be at least half-filled for best
results. If only half-filled, check for doneness 1 to 2 hours earlier
than recipe.
• Stirring is not necessary when slow cooking. Removing glass
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.
• If cooking soups or stews, leave a 2-inch (5 cm) space between
the top of the stovetop-safe cookware and the food so that the
recipe can come to a simmer.
• 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 stovetop-safe cookware, cover with lid, and
refrigerate overnight. In the morning, simply place stovetop-safe
cookware in slow cooker.
• Do not use frozen, uncooked meat in slow cooker. Thaw any meat
or poultry before searing or slow cooking.
• 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 stovetop-safe
cookware.
• Lid vent hole will not affect cooking time. The vent hole may
be used with a temperature probe to test food doneness.

PROBLEM
Food is undercooked.
The food isn’t done after
cooking the amount of time
recommended in my recipe.
My meal was overcooked.
Why?
PROBABLE CAUSE
• Was food cooked on the Keep Warm setting? Do not cook on Keep Warm; always cook on Low or
High heat settings.
• Was power interrupted?
• Did you select the Low heat setting but use a cooking time based on the High heat setting?
• Did you have the lid placed correctly on the slow cooker?
• 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. Allow sufficient time and select the
appropriate heat setting. You will learn through experience if a shorter or longer time is needed.
NOTE: Lid vent hole will not affect cooking time.
• Was the stovetop-safe cookware at least half-full? The slow cooker has been designed to thoroughly
cook food in a filled stovetop-safe cookware. If the stovetop-safe cookware is only half-filled, check for
doneness 1 to 2 hours earlier than recipe time.
• Did you select correct number of hours based on cooking temperature (Low or High)?
• Foods will continue to increase in temperature after desired temperature has been reached.
• Was the stovetop-safe cookware used to brown foods on the stovetop and placed in base while still
hot? If so, cooking time may be shortened. Check for doneness 30 minutes to 1 hour earlier than
recipe time.

refuse de s’insérer, inversez-la. Si elle refuse toujours de s’insérer,
faire remplacer la prise par un électricien.
La longueur du cordon installé sur cet appareil a été sélectionnée
afin de réduire les risques d’enchevêtrement ou de faux pas causés
par un fil trop long. L’utilisation d’une rallonge approuvée est per-
mise, si le cordon est trop court. Les caractéristiques électriques de
la rallonge doivent être équivalentes ou supérieures aux caractéris-
tiques de l’appareil. Prendre toutes les précautions nécessaires pour
installer la rallonge de manière à ne pas la faire courir sur le comp-
toir ou sur une table pour éviter qu’un enfant ne tire sur le cordon ou
trébuche accidentellement.
CONSEILS DE SÉCURITÉ IMPORTANTS
1. Lire toutes les instructions.
2. Ne pas toucher aux surfaces chaudes. Utiliser des gants de cuis-
son pour manipuler les poignées ou boutons pendant le fonction-
nement de la mijoteuse.
