Control Knob and Temperature Settings
NOTE: IF YOU HAVE NEVER USED A SLOW COOKER
Cooking in slow cooker is easy but different from conventional cooking methods.
Take a few minutes and read “USING YOUR SLOW COOKER” and “TIPS FOR
SLOW COOKING”.
Magic Chef Slow Cooker Heats from the sides. The base slowly raises the
temperature of the crock. Whether cooked on LOW or HIGH the final
temperature of the food is the same, about 200F (95C). The only difference is the
amount of time the cooking process takes.
Care and Cleaning
Turn the control to the OFF position and unplug before cleaning.
Remove the cord from the unit.
Important: The ceramic crock will not withstand the shock of sudden
temperature changes. To wash your slow cooker right after cooking, use
hot water. Do not use cold water if the crock is still hot.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads. This could scratch the
surface and damage the coating.
After emptying, fill the crock with sudsy water to loosen food particles.
Do not
immerse the slow cooker.
Use a cloth, nylon-covered mesh sponge or rubber
spatula to gently scrape away any residue. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Wipe the outside of the slow cooker with a clean, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
A nonabrasive liquid cleaner may be used for stubborn stains. Rinse and dry
thoroughly.
The glass lid may be washed in the dishwasher.
Tip For Slow Cooking
1) Vegetables cook slowly and should be kept small to medium in size and
placed in the bottom of the crock.
2) Do not fill the crock more than three-quarters full.
3) Meat should be trimmed, browned or broiled to eliminate as much fat as
possible.
