CLEANING & CARE
Before Cleaning
1. CANCEL
– Press the Start/Cancel button if slow
cooker is still in operation.
2. UNPLUG – Carefully unplug the slow cooker’s power
cord from electrical outlet.
3. REMOVE LEFTOVERS – Remove any leftover food
and place in storage containers before refrigerating.
Do not store leftovers in the crock.
4. COOL – Let slow cooker cool completely before
attempting any cleaning. The metal parts of the base
will be hot after use.
Unplug slow cooker before cleaning. Failure to do so may
result in risk of serious injury and electric shock.
Cleaning the Slow Cooker
• Allow the slow cooker to cool and then remove the
ceramic crock.
• Wash the crock and glass cover in the dishwasher, if
desired. Or hand wash in warm, soapy water. Rinse
and dry thoroughly.
• Wipe the slow cooker base with a clean, damp cloth.
DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as
they may scratch the surface of the slow cooker.
DO NOT immerse the slow cooker base, cord or plug
in water. Immersing the base in water may be dangerous
and will void the Warranty.
• Place crock in slow cooker base and place glass cover
on top.
STORAGE
Wrap the electrical cord under the slow
cooker for easy storage. Store the slow
cooker upright on a clean, level, dry
surface. Do not store anything on top
of the slow cooker.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
My slow cooker is not heating up; what am I doing
wrong? Be sure the power cord is plugged into a suitable outlet.
See page 4 for electrical requirements. Then, check to make sure
you’ve selected both the cooking mode and time. Finally, press
the Start/Cancel button to start the cooking process.
How do I know which heat setting to choose?
Refer to our handy Suggested Settings chart on page 4
.
Also, you may want to look at existing slow cooker recipes.
They provide suggested cook times and heat settings. Most foods
may be cooked on either the Low or the High setting. It depends
on the amount of time available for cooking and how tender you
want the food to become. The longer the cook time, the more
tender the food. You may want to take the guess work out of
setting the controls and use the Auto mode, which is specifically
designed to switch to Low after 2 hours on High for the remainder
of the programmed cooking time.
I’ve cooked my food for the designated time, but it’s not
steaming hot. How could this be? Check to make sure you
didn’t start with frozen ingredients. All foods you place in the slow
cooker should be thawed before using. Ensure the slow cooker is
not overfilled. The USDA recommends filling a slow cooker between
½ and ¾ full. Finally, make sure you cut large pieces of meat or
poultry into smaller pieces before cooking.
WARNING
NOTE: Do not operate the slow cooker without the ceramic crock in place.
