that reduces the risk of electric shock. 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.

LID AND CROCK: 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.

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 time.
• Stirring is not necessary when slow cooking. 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.
• If cooking a recipe with root vegetables, place root vegetables in
the bottom of the crock.
Food Safety Tips
• Do not use frozen, uncooked meat in the slow cooker. Thaw any
meat or poultry before slow cooking.
• 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).

PROBLEM
Food is undercooked.
The food isn’t done after
cooking the amount of time
recommended in my recipe.
My meal was overcooked.
Why?
Lid gasket collapsed.
PROBABLE CAUSE
• Was food cooked on the Warm setting? Do not cook on Warm; always cook on Low or High heat
settings.
• Was power interrupted?
• Did you select the Low heat setting, but used a cooking time based on the High heat setting?
• Did you have the 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. Lower than rated voltage will require longer cooking times and higher
than rated voltage will require shorter cooking times. You will learn through experience if a 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 correct number of hours based on cooking temperature (Low or High)?
• Foods will continue to increase in temperature after desired temperature has been reached.
• This can be caused by sudden temperature change, like running cold water over a warm lid. Allow lid
to sit at room temperature. It will return to its original shape within 24 hours.
• To help maintain shape of gasket, do not cook with clips latched and do not store empty unit with
clips latched.
