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.

• Handle the Crock and Glass Lid with care to ensure long life.
• Avoid sudden, extreme temperature changes. For example, do not
place hot Crock or Glass Lid into cold water, or onto a wet surface.
•
Avoid Crock and Glass Lid coming in contact with or bumping against
a faucet or other hard surfaces.
• Do not use Crock and Glass 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 Glass 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 the
Crock when empty. Never place the Crock on a burner or stove top.
• Do not place the Glass Lid in a microwave oven, conventional oven,
or on the stove top.
Electrical Shock Hazard. To reduce the risk of
electrical shock, do not immerse base in water.

Tips for Slow Cooking
• Foods will continue to increase in temperature after desired
temperature has been reached.
• 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
the 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 (50 mm) 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 the Crock, cover and refrigerate
overnight. In the morning, simply place the Crock in the slow
cooker.
• Do not use frozen, uncooked meat in the slow cooker.
Thaw any meat or poultry before slow cooking.
• Some foods are not suited for extended cooking in the slow
cooker. Pasta, seafood, milk, cream, or sour cream should be
added 2 hours before serving. Evaporated milk or condensed
soups are perfect for the slow cooker.
• The higher the fat content of the meat, the less liquid is needed.
If cooking meat with a high fat content, place thick onion slices
underneath so the meat will not sit on (and cook in) the fat.
• Slow cookers allow for very little evaporation. If making your
favorite soup, stew, or sauce, reduce the liquid called for in
the 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.
• To keep previously cooked food warm (food that is already at
the desired temperature), select the Warm setting in any of the
three cooking modes: Program ( ), Manual ( ), or Probe ( ).
• The cooking time is not affected or slowed down by steam
or heat escaping from Probe Hole when probe is not in use.

POTENTIAL 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
• 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 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.
Troubleshooting

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.
Chicken Pieces with Lemon and Fresh Rosemary
Rinse and pat dry 4 lb. (2 kg) chicken pieces. Place pieces evenly in bottom of slow cooker. Juice one lemon and pour over chicken. Sprinkle
chicken liberally with paprika. Top with 3–4 sprigs of fresh rosemary. Cover, insert probe, and cook according to Cooking Guide.
Creole Chicken
Remove neck and giblets from 3–4 lb. (1.5–2 kg) whole chicken. Rinse, pat dry and season with Creole seasoning (available in the spice aisle of
most grocery stores). Place chicken in slow cooker. Cover, insert probe, and cook according to Cooking Guide.
Apricot Glazed Chicken
Remove neck and giblets from 3–4 lb. (1.5–2 kg) whole chicken. Rinse, pat dry and season with salt and pepper. Place in slow cooker and pour
contents of 12 oz. (360 ml) jar of apricot preserves over chicken. Cover, insert probe, and cook according to Cooking Guide.
Cajun Spiced Turkey Breast
Remove neck and giblets from 6–7 lb. (3–3.5 kg) turkey breast, rinse and pat dry. Using your favorite Cajun spice mix (available in spice aisle of
most grocery stores), season cavity and outside of turkey breast liberally. Place turkey breast side up, in slow cooker. Cover, insert probe, and
cook according to Cooking Guide.
