Other Consumer Safety Information
This appliance is intended for household use only.

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard:
This appliance is
provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the
risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying
the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit
fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an
electrician replace the outlet.
A short power-supply cord is used to reduce the risk resulting
from it being grabbed by children, becoming entangled in, or
tripping over a longer cord.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do not use another high-
wattage appliance on the same circuit with this appliance.
Lid and Crock: Precautions
and Information
• Please handle Crock and Lid carefully to ensure long life.
• Avoid sudden, extreme temperature changes. For example,
do not place a hot Lid or Crock into cold water, or onto a
wet surface.
• Avoid hitting Crock or Lid against faucet or other hard
surfaces.
• Do not use Crock or Lid if chipped, cracked, or severely
scratched.
• Do not use abrasive cleansers or metal scouring pads.
• The bottom of Crock is very rough and can damage
countertop. Use caution.
• The Crock and Lid can become very hot. Use caution. Do
not place directly on any unprotected surface or countertop.
• The Crock is microwave-safe and oven-proof, but never
heat Crock when empty. Never place Crock on a burner or
stove top.
• Do not place Lid in a microwave oven, conventional oven,
or on stove top.
Removing Lid and Crock
When removing Lid, tilt so that opening faces away from you to
avoid being burned by steam.
The sides of the Slow Cooker’s Base get very warm because
the heating elements are located here. Use handles on Base if
necessary. Use oven mitts to remove Crock.

How to use Slow Cooker
w
WARNING
Food Safety Hazard. Food must be hot
enough to prevent bacterial growth before using WARM setting.
The WARM setting should only be used after a recipe has been
thoroughly cooked. Do not reheat food on WARM setting. If food
has been cooked and then refrigerated, reheat it on LOW or HIGH
and then switch to WARM. Visit foodsafety.gov for more
information.
w
CAUTION
Burn Hazard. Escaping steam is hot. Use
oven mitts to lift lid.
Before first use: Wash Lid and Crock in hot, soapy water. Rinse
and dry.
1.
Plug into outlet.
2.
Add ingredients to Crock.
3.
Add Lid. The Lid should sit level on Crock for even
cooking and to prevent heat loss. NEVER lock Clips
during cooking. Wattage has been adjusted to
compensate for heat lost through Steam Vent Holes.
4.
Turn Control Knob to LOW or HIGH. Do not cook on
WARM. Set kitchen timer according to recipe.
5.
When finished, turn Control Knob to OFF ( ). Use oven
mitts to lift Lid.
6.
Latch down Wire Clips on Folding Base Handles and
wrap cord securely for transport.
Care and Cleaning
w
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard. Disconnect
power before cleaning. Do not immerse cord, plug, or base
in any liquid.
1.
Unplug and cool.
2.
Use oven mitts to remove Crock.
3.
Crock, Lid, Spoon, and Spoon Rest are dishwasher-
safe or wash in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry. DO
NOT use the “SANI” setting when washing in the
dishwasher. “SANI” cycle temperatures could damage
your product.
4.
Wipe Base with a soft, damp cloth or sponge and dry.
5.
To help maintain shape of Gasket, do not cook with
Clips latched and do not store empty unit with Clips
latched.
Tips for slow cooking
• The Crock should be at least half-filled for best results.
If only half-filled, check for doneness 1 to 2 hours earlier
than recipe time.
• Stirring is not necessary when slow cooking. Removing
Lid results in major heat loss and the cooking time may
need to be extended. However, if cooking on HIGH, you
may want to stir occasionally.
• If cooking soups or stews, leave a 2-inch (5-cm) space
between the top of the Crock and the food so that the
recipe can come to a simmer.
• Many recipes call for cooking all day. If your morning
schedule doesn’t allow time to prepare a recipe, do it the
night before. Place all ingredients in Crock, cover with
Lid, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, simply
place Crock in Slow Cooker.
• Do not plug Steam Vent Holes with paper towels or other
objects. Steam Vent Holes allow steam to escape and
wattage has been adjusted to compensate for heat loss.
• Do not use frozen, uncooked meat in the Slow Cooker.
Thaw any meat or poultry before slow cooking.
• Some foods are not suited for extended cooking in a
slow cooker. Pasta, seafood, milk, cream, or sour cream
should be added 2 hours before serving. Evaporated milk
or condensed soups are perfect for slow cooking.
• The higher the fat content of meat, the less liquid is
needed. If cooking meat with a high fat content, place
thick onion slices underneath so meat will not sit on (and
cook in) fat.
• Slow cookers allow for very little evaporation. If making
your favorite soup, stew, or sauce, reduce liquid called
for in original recipe. If too thick, liquid can be added
later.
• If cooking a vegetable-type casserole, there will need to
be liquid in the recipe to prevent scorching on the sides
of Crock.
• Spoon and Spoon Rest are optional accessories on select
models. To prevent damage to the Spoon/Spoon Rest and
surrounding surfaces, do not place these items on stove.

For best results, fill the Crock at least half-full, but no more than
1 inch from the rim. If only half-filled, check for donness 1 to 2

Troubleshooting
Food is undercooked.
• Was food cooked on the WARM setting? Do not cook on
WARM; always cook on LOW or HIGH heat settings.
• Was the power interrupted?
• Did you select the LOW heat setting but use a cooking time
based on HIGH heat settings?
• Did you have the Lid placed correctly on the Slow Cooker?
Food isn’t done after cooking the amount of time
recommended in my recipe.
• This can be due to voltage variations (which are commonplace
everywhere) or altitude. The slight fluctuations in power do not
have a noticeable effect on most appliances; however, it can
alter the cooking times in the Slow Cooker by extending the
cooking times. Allow sufficient time and select the appropriate
heat setting. You will learn through experience if a shorter time
is needed.
Food was overcooked.
• Was the Crock at least half full? The Slow Cooker has been
designed to thoroughly cook food in a filled Crock. If the Crock
is only half-filled, check for doneness 1 to 2 hours earlier than
recipe time.
• Did you select the correct number of hours based on
temperature (LOW or HIGH)?
• Foods will continue to increase in temperature after desired
temperature has been reached.
Lid Gasket collapsed.
• This can be caused by sudden temperature change, such as
running cold water over a warm Lid. Allow Lid to sit at room
temperature. It will return to its original shape within 24 hours.
Spoon stored in Lid handle.
• Make sure that notch in Spoon Handle is lined up with one of
the tabs (dimples) in Lid Handle and then press Spoon Handle
past all four tabs at the same time.
