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 lid on a burner or stove top.
Do not place lid in a microwave oven, conventional oven, or
on stove top.
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 oven mitts to remove crock.
Other Consumer Safety Information
This product is intended for household use only.
This product is only intended for the preparation, cooking, and
serving of foods. This product is not intended for use with any
nonfood 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
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.

Cooking Modes
No matter what you plan to cook, the Set ‘N Forget®Slow Cooker
has three cooking modes to make it easy. Here’s how to choose
the one that’s right for your lifestyle and the food you’re cooking.
Will you be away when your food is finished cooking?
Use PROGRAM Mode. Input preferred amount of cooking time
and the slow cooker automatically shifts to Warm at the end of
the selected cooking time. Food won’t overcook!
Do you want to cook the traditional way without setting a time?
— OR —
Do you want to heat previously cooked food?
Use MANUAL Mode. Lets you select traditional High or Low settings.
Are you cooking a large cut of meat or using a recipe that
requires food to reach a certain temperature?
Use PROBE Mode. For many foods, especially large cuts of meat
like roasts, chicken, turkey and pork, internal food temperature
is the best test for doneness. The temperature probe with this
slow cooker takes the guesswork out of slow cooking. Select the
desired internal food temperature and the slow cooker will
automatically shift to Warm once the temperature is reached.
By using the Cooking Guide for Probe chart, you can estimate
the amount of time the food will need to cook.
Visit foodsafety.gov for more information about cooking times
and proper internal temperature settings.
Do you want to keep previously cooked food warm?
(For instance, moving slow cooker from kitchen to buffet table.)
Use the PROBE Mode. Once food reaches desired temperature, you
can select the Warm setting to monitor food temperature.
Use the MANUAL Mode. Lets you select Warm setting.
Use the PROGRAM Mode. Lets you select Warm setting.
The slow cooker will shut off after desired time.

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.
• Stirring is not necessary when slow cooking and 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 crock 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 crock, cover with lid, and refrigerate
overnight. In the morning, simply place crock in slow cooker.
• 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 crock.
Food Safety Tips
• Do not use frozen, uncooked meat in the slow cooker. Thaw any
meat or poultry before slow cooking.
• Visit www.foodsafety.gov for more information on safe internal
cooking temperatures.
• 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).
IF YOU LIVE IN A HIGH-ALTITUDE AREA:
The Extension service will have detailed information about cooking
for your area. To locate the Cooperative Extension service in your
county, please visit: http://www.csrees.usda.gov/Extension/.

PROBLEM
There is no display visible
on the control panel.
I can’t program the current
time on the control panel.
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/SOLUTION
• Is the unit plugged in?
• Is the unit turned on? Display should flash SEL.
• Test that the electrical outlet is working with a lamp in known working order.
• Power interruption of 5 seconds or longer.
• There is no “clock” feature on this slow cooker, only a countdown timer.
• Was food cooked on the Warm setting? Do not cook on Warm setting; always cook on Low or High
heat settings.
• Was power interrupted (due to brownout, electrical storm, etc.) for 5 seconds or longer?
NOTE: For a power interruption of 5 seconds or less, the slow cooker will remember the programmed
heat and time settings.
• Did you select the Low heat setting, but used a cooking time based on the High heat setting?
• Did you have the glass 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, 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 the shorter or longer time is needed.
• Was the crock at least half full? The slow cooker has been designed to thoroughly cook food in a filled
crock. If the crock is only half-filled, check for doneness 1 to 2 hours earlier than recipe time.
• Did you select hours based on a Low heat recipe?
• Foods will continue to increase in temperature after desired temperature has been reached.

Quick Temperature Probe Recipes
How much does your slow cooker hold? The capacity of your slow cooker refers to the amount the crock can hold if it is filled to the rim.
However, we DO NOT recommend filling to the rim. As a rule, you should select recipes that yield 1 quart less than the capacity of your crock.
For example, if your Slow Cooker is 6 quarts, your best results will be achieved using recipes that yield 5 quarts or less.
Maple Boneless Pork Roast
Place 4–5 lb. (2–2.2 kg) boneless pork roast in slow cooker. Season with salt and pepper. Pour 1/2 cup (125 ml) of good quality maple syrup over

SOULÈVEMENT DU COUVERCLE ET DU POT
Soulever le couvercle de façon à diriger les vapeurs loin de votre
visage pour éviter de vous brûler. Les côtés de la base de la mijoteuse deviennent très chauds car c’est là que se trouvent les éléments chauffants. Au besoin, utilisez les
poignées sur la base. Utiliser des gants de cuisine pour retirer le pot.

AVERTISSEMENT ! Risque d’électrocution : Cet appareil
électroménager possède une fiche polarisée (une broche large)
qui réduit le risque d’électrocution. Cette fiche n’entre que dans un
seul sens dans une prise polarisée. Ne contrecarrez pas l’objectif
sécuritaire de cette fiche en la modifiant de quelque manière que
ce soit ou en utilisant un adaptateur. Si vous ne pouvez pas insérer
complètement la fiche dans la prise, inversez la fiche. 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 permise si
le cordon est trop court. Les caractéristiques électriques de la rallonge
doivent être équivalentes ou supérieures aux caractéristiques de
l’appareil. Prendre toutes les précautions nécessaires pour installer
la rallonge de manière à ne pas la faire courir sur le comptoir ou sur
une table pour éviter qu’un enfant ne tire sur le cordon ou trébuche
accidentellement.

Modes de cuisson
Quoi que vous vouliez cuire, la mijoteuse Set ‘N Forget®a trois
modes de cuisson pour vous faciliter la tâche. Voici comment
choisir celui qui convient à votre style de vie et aux aliments que
vous cuisez.
Serez-vous absent quand vos aliments finiront de cuire ?
Utiliser le mode PROGRAM (PROGRAMME). Inscriver
votre durée préférée de cuisson et la mijoteuse conservera
automatiquement au chaud les aliments à la fin de la durée
de cuisson choisie. Vos aliments ne brûleront pas !
Voulez-vous cuire d’une manière traditionnelle sans préciser
le temps de cuisson ?
— OU —
Voulez-vous conserver au chaud les aliments après leur
cuisson ?
Utiliser le mode MANUAL (MANUEL). Ce mode vous permet
de choisir les réglages traditionnels HAUT ou BAS.
Faites-vous cuire un gros morceau de viande ou utilisez-vous une
recette qui exige que les aliments atteignent une certaine
température ?
Utiliser le mode PROBE (SONDE). Pour beaucoup d’aliments,
en particulier pour les morceaux de viande particulièrement
gros, comme les rôtis, les poulets, les dindes et le porc, c’est
la température intérieure des aliments qui indique le mieux
le degré de cuisson. La sonde de température de votre mijoteuse
vous permet d’obtenir automatiquement la bonne température.
Vous choisissez la température intérieure de l’aliment que vous
désirez et la mijoteuse s’arrêtera automatiquement de chauffer
mais continuera à conserver l’aliment au chaud quand cette
température sera atteinte. En utilisant le Guide de cuisson de
mode Probe (sonde), vous pouvez estimer la durée de cuisson
des aliments.
Visiter le site foodsafety.gov pour obtenir plus d’informations à
propos des durées de cuisson et des réglages de température
interne adéquats.
Vous souhaitez conserver vos aliments préalablement cuits au
chaud ? (Par exemple, déplacer la mijoteuse de la cuisine vers
la table de service.)
Utilisation du mode PROBE (SONDE). Une fois que les aliments
ont atteint la température désirée, sélectionner le réglage Warm
(chaud) pour surveiller la température des aliments.
Utilisation du mode MANUAL (MANUEL). Vous permet de régler
le degré de conservation de Warm (chaleur).
Utilisation du mode PROGRAM (PROGRAMME). Vous permet de
régler le degré de conservation de Warm (chaleur). La mijoteuse
s’arrêtera à la fin de la durée de cuisson choisie.
