HOW TO USE
Using a slow cooker is easy but different from conventional cooking. This manual contains
many helpful hints for successful slow cooking. Many more slow cooker recipes books are
available in libraries, bookstores and online. Keep these materials handy whether preparing
favorite recipes or trying something new.
This slow cooker has three heat settings: LOW, HIGH and WARM. Use the recommended
guidelines offered in the recipe being used to determine cooking time and heat setting. Dishes
can be prepared well in advance of mealtime and cooking time regulated so that food is
ready to serve at a convenient time. A general rule of thumb for most slow cooker meat-and-
vegetable combos is:

3. Plug the power cord into the wall outlet and rotate the temperature control dial to your
preferred heat setting (HIGH - LOW - WARM).
NOTE:
The WARM setting should NOT be used to cook foods or reheat refrigerated
foods. WARM should be used to maintain the serving temperature of previously cooked
foods.
4. When finished cooking, rotate the temperature control dial to the OFF position and
remove the plug from the wall outlet.
5. Remove glass lid.
CAUTION: When removing glass cover, grasp the designated area on the cover and lift
to allow steam to escape before setting cover aside. To avoid burns, always hold cover
so that escaping steam flows away from hands and face.
6. Using oven mitts, grasp stoneware insert by the handles and remove it from the heating
base. NEVER place insert directly on a counter top. Use a heat-resistant trivet or pad.
7. Serve contents. If serving directly from the cooking pot, always place a trivet or protective
padding under pot before placing it on a table or counter top.
