Food Safety Tips
•
To store leftovers after cooking, DO NOT place entire Crock
in refrigerator since contents will take too long to cool.
Instead, divide leftovers into smaller containers and place into
refrigerator.
•
Never allow undercooked or raw meat to sit at room temperature
in Slow Cooker. Once meat is placed into Crock, it should be
cooked immediately (unless prepping Slow Cooker the night
before, where Crock should be placed into the refrigerator).
Troubleshooting
There is no display visible on the control panel.
•
Is unit plugged in?
•
Is unit turned on?
•
Test that the electrical outlet is working with a lamp in known
working order.
•
Was power interrupted (due to brownout, electrical storm, etc.)
for 5 seconds or longer?
Food is undercooked.
•
Was food cooked on WARM setting? Do not cook on WARM
setting; always cook on LOW or HIGH heat settings.
•
Was power interrupted (due to brownout, electrical storm,
etc.) for 5 seconds or longer?
NOTE:
For a power interruption
of 5 seconds or less, the Slow Cooker will remember the
programmed heat and time settings.
•
Did you select LOW heat setting, but used a cooking time based
on HIGH heat recipe?
•
Did you have the Glass Lid placed correctly on Slow Cooker?
Food isn’t done after cooking 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, they can
alter 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 or longer
time is needed.
Food is 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 HIGH heat setting, but used a cooking time based
on a LOW heat recipe?
•
Foods will continue to increase in temperature after desired
temperature has been reached.

Ensure Probe is plugged into Probe Jack and Probe is in center
of food and is not touching bone.
