SLOW COOKER COMPONENTS

PREPARING YOUR CROCK-POT

SLOW COOKER FOR USE

HOW TO USE YOUR SLOW COOKER

1. Place the stoneware into the heating base, add your ingredients to

the stoneware, and cover with the lid (See Fig. 1).

2. Plug in your Crock-Pot

slow cooker and select the temperature

setting. Refer to your specific recipe for precise cook times.

NOTE: Some models feature a WARM setting. WARM is ONLY for

keeping already cooked food warm. DO NOT cook on the WARM

setting. We do not recommend using the WARM setting for more

than 4 hours.

3. When cooking is done, unplug your slow cooker and allow it to

cool before cleaning.

HOW TO USE YOUR SLOW COOKER (CONT.)

USAGE NOTES:

• If you suspect that the power has gone out, the food inside may be

unsafe to eat. If you are unaware of how long the power was out,

we suggest you discard the food inside.

• For recipes that require a range of times, select the mid-range time.

For example, for a recipe calling for a cooking time of 7 to 9 hours

on LOW, cook for 8 hours.

• To avoid over or under-cooking, always fill the stoneware

full and conform to recommended cook times.

• Do not overfill stoneware. To prevent spillover, do not fill stoneware

higher than

full.

• Always cook with the lid on for the recommended time. Do not

remove the lid during the first two hours of cooking to allow the

heat to build up efficiently.

• Always wear oven mitts when handling the lid or stoneware.

• Unplug when cooking is done and before cleaning.

• Removable stoneware is ovenproof and microwave safe. Do not use

removable stoneware on gas or electric burner or under broiler.
