handle. It is important to have handles in place at all times. Do not
operate this appliance without both handles securely in place.
3. If the appliance is dropped or the handles are broken, check
for damage to the pressure relief valve. If parts are dislodged
or if you notice oil leaking from under the handle, contact your
distributor for service. Do not tamper with the pressure relief
valve under any condition.
4. Always dry outside of appliance completely before connecting
heat control.
5. Never immerse hot appliance in water. Always allow it to cool
before cleaning.
6. To reduce the hazard of potential electrical shock, this item

Stainless Steel Construction – Hard, polished stainless steel resists
pitting, cracking, and chipping. Easy to clean, your Stainless Steel 5 Qt.
Oil Core will retain its beautiful appearance for years.
Amazing Oil Core – Fast, even heat distribution over the entire cooking
surface without hot spots is assured, thanks to a special heat conducting
oil sandwiched between layers of high quality stainless steel. This is the
finest heat conduction system available for cookware!
Touch-Pad Heat Control - Optimum heat selection is easy with the touch-
pad heat control. Built-in timer allows you to select the cooking time, up
to 12 hours, and the appliance shuts off automatically. Temperature and
cooking time can be changed at any point during cooking.
Fully Immersible – With the touch-pad heat control removed, the
appliance can be easily washed in your sink or placed in a dishwasher.
Water cannot damage the heating element. It is sealed beneath the
cooking surface, protected from moisture and corrosion.
Features and Benefits

1. Before the first use, remove heat control. Wash appliance and cover
in warm, soapy water to which you have added one cup of vinegar
per gallon of water. This removes all traces of manufacturing oils and
polishing compounds. Rinse in clear, warm water and dry thoroughly
with a clean, soft towel. Caution: Always remove touch-pad heat
control before immersing appliance in water.
2. Always dry outside of appliance completely before connecting
heat control.
3. Refer to Temperature Guide or use temperature specified in recipe to
ensure best results.
4. When the appliance is turned off, disconnect the cord from the outlet.
To transfer it to the table for serving, remove heat control, handling
very carefully since the heat control will be very hot. It is important
to lay the hot heat control on a heatproof surface to cool to avoid
damage to the table or counter top. If food is not being served from
the appliance, allow it to cool before removing heat control.
5. Allow appliance to cool before immersing it in water for cleaning. Do
not immerse heat control.
6. See complete Operating and Cleaning Instructions that follow.
7. Before first use, remove the thin protective film covering the touch-
pad heat control.
Use and Care
Stores Heat – From kitchen to table, piping hot! The Oil Core holds heat
long after the appliance is unplugged. Food stays at serving temperature
at the table without an inconvenient cord attached.

key (the default temperature will flash) then press the up or down
arrow until the desired temperature appears on the display. To select
the default temperature of 150°F (65°C), press the temperature key
a second time. If no temperature is set, the display will flash for 2
minutes and automatically shut off. Pulsing the up or down arrow will
adjust the temperature by 5-degree increments; pressing and holding
the key will adjust it by 25-degree increments (10-degrees in Celsius).
As the appliance preheats to desired temperature, the signal light (red
light on left side of digital display) will blink on and off. Always preheat
appliance (4 to 6 minutes), unless recipe states to start with it cold.
3. Add food when the signal light stops blinking, indicating that the
cooking temperature has been reached. Heat may be increased or
decreased by depressing the up or down arrow, depending upon the

on and off during cooking to indicate that the proper temperature is
being maintained.
4. After the food is placed in the appliance, set the cooking time if
desired. Press and release the time key. The display will flash “00:00.”
Press the up or down arrows until the desired length of time is set
(maximum is 12 hours). If no time is set, the heat control will operate
at the preset temperature until the off button is pressed. Pulsing
the key will adjust the time by 1-minute increments; pressing and
holding either key will adjust the time by 10-minute increments. The
time will automatically count down and the remaining time will be
displayed unless the temperature key is pressed. The temperature or
time can be changed or displayed anytime during cooking by simply
repeating the steps detailed above.
5. When cooking is complete, and the time setting has not been used, press
the off button. The temperature and time settings will be cancelled.

Temperature Guide
Slow Cooking Temperature Guide

1. To maintain the beauty and cooking efficiency of the 5 Qt. Oil Core
Cooker, it is important that it be cleaned thoroughly with warm, soapy
water after each use. Food films left on the cooking surface will cause
discoloration when the appliance is reheated.
2. Although durable, stainless steel is not indestructible. Pitting may
result if undissolved salt remains in your appliance. Salt should be
added just before serving foods or to boiling liquids. Liquids should
be stirred immediately to completely dissolve the salt. Do not allow
seasoned foods or high-acid foods to remain in your appliance for
long periods.
3. With the heat control removed, your appliance can be immersed in
water or placed in an automatic dishwasher to clean. IMPORTANT:
Allow appliance to cool before cleaning. Do not immerse hot
appliance in water. Always remove touch pad heat control before
putting appliance in water. Clean in warm, soapy water with a sponge,
dishcloth, nylon net, or plastic pad. Do not use a metal scouring pad,
knife, or harsh scouring powder on the polished stainless steel finish.
Rinse thoroughly with clear, warm water. Dry promptly to prevent
water spots. Wipe heat control with a damp cloth, then dry.
4. Persistent overheating may cause blue or brown heat tints inside
the appliance. Stains may also result from minerals in certain foods.
To remove both heat tints and stains, make a paste with water and
a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner. Do not use a cleaner which
contains chlorine bleach. Apply paste with a cloth or sponge, and rub
lightly in a circular motion. Wash again, rinse, then dry promptly.
5. Remove minor scratches with a non-abrasive stainless steel cleaner,
following the instructions in No. 4 above. To prevent scratches, do
not cut, scrape, or chop food with sharp-edged kitchen tools in
your appliance.
6. To remove stuck on foods, fill with warm water and let soak for
30 minutes. Then clean with warm, soapy water as usual. A non-
abrasive stainless steel cleaner may also be used, following the
instructions in No. 4 above.
