Cleaning & Care
CAUTION: Risk of suffocation - keep all packaging and plastic bags out of the
reach of children.
1. Remove all parts from the box and discard packaging.
2. Wash the glass lid and ceramic insert in warm, soapy water with a sponge or
soft cloth, rinse and dry thoroughly. Do NOT use abrasive cleansers.
WARNING: Do NOT immerse in or expose housing, electrical cord or plug to
water or other liquid.
3. Use a damp cloth to wipe down only the outside of the housing unit. Do not use
an abrasive scouring pad or steel wool as this could damage the finish.

initial use, you may notice a small amount of smoke and/or odor. This is normal and
smoke/odor will dissipate in a few minutes.
Before Using for the First Time
TO STORE:
Be sure all parts are clean and dry before storing. Store appliance in its box or in a
clean, dry place. Never store it while it is hot or wet.
Storage
NOTE:
Do NOT try to brown or precook foods in slow cooker.
IMPORTANT:
If ceramic insert containing food has been refrigerated, allow insert
to come to room temperature before placing in housing and turning on unit.
1. Place slow cooker on a heat-resistent, level surface.
2. Place food and other ingredients in ceramic insert and place insert in housing.
• The slow cooker must be at least half full for best results.
3. Cover with glass lid.
4. With the control knob in the OFF position, plug unit into electrical outlet.
5. Turn control knob to desired setting. The operating light will illuminate when the
control knob is any position except OFF.
6. Do not subject the ceramic insert to sudden changes in temperature. Adding
cold water to a very hot pot could cause it to crack.
7. After food is cooked, switch cooker to OFF and leave covered with the lid.
There will be enough heat in the ceramic pot to keep warm for 30 minutes. If
more time is needed, switch unit to Warm setting.
• Slow cooking retains moisture. If you wish to reduce moisture, remove the lid
after cooking and turn the control to high and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes.
WARNING: Housing will be hot even after appliance is turned OFF. Do NOT
touch until unit has cooled completely.
WARNING: Always use hot pads to remove ceramic insert after cooking and
place on hot pad if using as a serving dish.
