This product is only intended for the preparation, cooking, and
serving 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 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 counter-
top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally
tripped over.

2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord,
plug, or base in water or other liquid.

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.

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 crock is very rough and can damage 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.

Cooking Modes
No matter what you plan to cook, the Set ’N Forget®slow cooker
has three cooking modes to make it easy. Here is how to choose
the one that is 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!
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, you can estimate the amount
of time the food will need to cook. Visit foodsafety.gov for more
information about cooking times.
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.
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.
