HOW TO USE YOUR SLOW COOKER
Before you use your slow cooker, remove all packaging components
and wash the lid and cooking pot with warm soapy water and dry
thoroughly.
Assembly
1. Place cooking pot into the heating base.
2. Lower the lid horizontally down onto the stoneware.
• Be sure to align the lid hinge so that it slides down onto the
mating heating base hinge. (See Fig. 2 and 3)
• When raising and lowering the lid, use the lid lifting handle.
Caution: When disassembling, ALWAYS remove the lid first, and
then remove the stoneware.
• To remove lid, use both hands to gently lift up and remove.
(See Fig. 4)
1. Place the stoneware into the heating base, add your
ingredients to the stoneware, and cover with the lid .
2. Plug in your Crock-Pot
®
slow cooker and select the temperature
setting from the three setting options. Low is recommended
for slow “all-day” cooking. One hour on High is equivalent to
approximately 1½ to 2 hours on Low. Refer to your specific
recipe for more precise cook times. Warm is ONLY for keeping
already cooked food at the perfect serving temperature until
you are ready to eat. DO NOT cook on the Warm setting.
NOTE: 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.
USAGE NOTES:
• If you suspect that the power has gone out during the day, the
food 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 time closest
to the setting on your slow cooker. For instance, to cook a
recipe calling for a cooking time of 7 to 9 hours on Low, set
your slow cooker to 8 hours.
