How to Use
1.
Prepare your ingredients to be slow cooked directly in the
stoneware liner.
Note: Do not fill the liner to the top with food.
2.
Put the glass lid on the stoneware liner.
3.
Always make sure the temperature knob is in
“
OFF
”
position before
plugging in the unit.
4.
Insert the plug into a grounded power socket of 120V, UL type.

Select the desired temperature setting (LOW or HIGH) and let the
ingredients cook slowly (see section: TEMPERATURE KNOB).
6.
When cooking is complete, turn the temperature knob to the OFF
position and unplug the unit from the power outlet.

Using oven mitts carefully lift the glass lid, using its knob to allow
steam to escape. MAKE SURE TO KEEP HANDS AND FACE AWAY
FROM THE HOT STEAM, TO PREVENT INJURY.
8.
You can either serve the ingredients in the stoneware liner or in
another container. When taking the stoneware liner out of the
aluminum pan, always use oven mitts to grasp the handles,
particularly if you are sensitive to heat. ALWAYS GRASP THE LINER
BY ITS HANDLES.

Always turn the appliance OFF and unplug it from the electrical
outlet and allow it to cool down before cleaning and/or storing it.
