VESSEL AND LID: PRECAUTIONS AND INFORMATION
• Please handle vessel and lid carefully to ensure long life.
• Avoid sudden, extreme temperature changes. For example, do not
place a hot lid into cold water, or onto a wet surface.
• Avoid hitting vessel or lid against faucet or other hard surfaces.
• Do not use vessel or lid if chipped, cracked, or severely scratched.
• Do not use abrasive cleansers or metal scouring pads.
• The vessel and lid can become very hot. Use caution. Do not place
directly on any unprotected surface or countertop.
• The vessel is oven-proof, but never heat vessel when empty.
• Do not place lid in a microwave oven, conventional oven, or on
stove top.
REMOVING LID AND VESSEL
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 vessel.
Other Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household use only.
This appliance is only intended for the preparation, cooking, and
serving of foods. This appliance is not intended for use with any
nonfood materials or products.
wWARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is
provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce 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.
A short power-supply cord is used to reduce the risk resulting from
it being grabbed by children, becoming entangled in, or tripping
over a longer cord.

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 end of
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 guesswork out of slow cooking. Select desired
internal food temperature and slow cooker will automatically
shift to WARM once temperature is reached. By using Cooking
Guide for Probe, you can estimate the amount of time the food
will need to cook. Visit foodsafety.gov or fsis.usda.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 PROBE Mode. Once food reaches desired temperature, you
can select WARM setting to monitor food temperature.
Use MANUAL Mode. Lets you select WARM setting.
Use PROGRAM Mode. Lets you select WARM setting.
Slow cooker will shut off after desired time.
