SAFEGUARDS
When using an electrical appliance,
basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including the following:
1. IMPORTANT: Read all instructions carefully
before first use.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. The metal housing
will become hot during use. Use handles on
side or on lid.
3. CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock,
cook only in removable inner pan.
4. Use tongs or other heat safe utensils to remove
food. Do not pour or lift appliance.
5. Close supervision is necessary when any
appliance is used by or near children.
6. To protect against electrical shock, do not
immerse cord, plug, or cooker body in water
or other liquid.
7. Do not add liquid within an inch of the top of
aluminum inner pot, or the water may flow out
during cooking.
8. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before
cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on
or taking off parts, and before cleaning the
appliance.
9. Do not operate any appliance with a
damaged cord or plug or after the appliance
malfunctions or has been damaged in any
manner. Return appliance to the nearest
authorized service facility for examination,
repair, or adjustment.
10. The use of accessory attachments not
recommended by the appliance manufacturer
may cause injuries.
11. Intended for counter top use only as directed.
12. Do not use the appliance for other than
intended use.
13. Do not use outdoors.

16. WARNING: Spilled food can cause serious
burns. Keep appliance and cord away from
children. Never drape cord over edge of
counter, never use outlet below counter, and
never use with an extension cord.
17. Prior to first use, please make sure that
the electrical rating of the appliance is in
conformity with the current electric rating.
18. Plug cord into wall outlet. To disconnect,
switch appliance off, then remove plug

entire Instruction/Care & Use Booklet.
SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
FOR
HOUSEHOLD
USE ONLY
SPECIAL CORD SET INSTRUCTIONS:
A short power-supply cord is provided to
reduce the risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer extension cords may be used if
care is exercised. If a long extension cord
is used, the marked electrical rating of the
extension cord should be at least as great
as the electrical rating of the appliance, and
the longer cord should be arranged so that it
will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or
animals, or tripped over.

RECIPE TIPS
• Be sure to spread oil in the Slow Cooker
before cooking, using a heat resistant
spatula or other utensil. Cooking sprays are
not recommended.
• Always use tongs or other utensil to remove
food. Do not lift the Slow Cooker to pour.
• The Slow Cooker must be placed on a level
surface during use – uneven cooking or
spilling may result otherwise.
• When Browning/Sautéing, always use
a little oil or butter suited for frying for
best results. Avoid low smoke point oil or
aerosol sprays as they cannot withstand
high heat.
• The GreenPan Slow Cooker comes with a
6qt inner pot coated with Thermolon Volt,
a special coating designed for kitchen
appliances. The inner pot is stove top and
oven safe, though we recommend using the
in-unit browning feature for best results.
• While your Slow Cooker is metal utensil
safe, we recommend using plastic, silicone
or wooden utensils to prolong the life of the
ceramic nonstick coating.
ONE-STEP BROWNING
• When slow cooking, browning or sautéing your
ingredients first lends extra flavor to your food and
can result in a mouthwatering, seared crust on meats
and poultry.
• Add a light coat of cooking oil or butter to the pot
before starting
• Turn on your Slow Cooker and select “Brown/
Sauté” mode. Leave the lid off when using
brown/sauté mode.
• When the oil is simmering hot, add meat or other
ingredients to be browned/sautéed to the pot. Sear
for a few minutes on all sides. NOTE: the pot is
especially hot while using the brown/sear mode. Use
heat-resistant gloves or oven mitts and keep hands
and face away from the pan, as hot oil may splatter.
Small amounts of smoke may be generated by the
browning process. If excessive smoke or splatter
develops, turn off and unplug Slow Cooker until it
subsides. NEVER POUR WATER OR OTHER LIQUIDS
INTO SLOW COOKER DURING THE BROWN/
SAUTÉ PROGRAM.
• After browning, switch cooking mode to “Slow Cook”
and select desired time and temperature.
• Allow pan to cool slightly before adding rest of the
ingredients and covering with the lid.
