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
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.
When removing lid, tilt so that opening faces away from you to
avoid being burned by steam.
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, this 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.
