Using Your Slow Cooker
CAUTION: ALWAYS UNPLUG SLOW COOKER FROM
ELECTRICAL OUTLET WHEN NOT IN USE.
1. Prepare recipe according to instructions. Place food in Stoneware
Liner and cover with Glass Lid. Do not fill the Stoneware Liner to
the brim with food. Always cook with the Glass Lid on and the
Stoneware Liner in position. Remember that frequent lifting of the
Glass Lid during cooking delays cooking time. When cooking a
meat and vegetable combination, place the vegetables in the
bottom of the Stoneware Liner first. Then add the meat and other
ingredients. If the Stoneware Liner is hot, DO NOT add cold food
and vice versa. The Stoneware Liner cannot stand the shock of
sudden temperature changes.
2. Plug into a 120 V, 60 Hz outlet.
CAUTION: COOKING BASE WILL GET VERY WARM DURING
COOKING. THIS IS WHERE THE
HEATING ELEMENT IS
LOCATED. IF NECESSARY TO
HANDLE, USE POT HOLDERS OR
OVEN MITTS TO CAREFULLY
GRASP COOKING BASE.
3. Cook according to recipe
instructions. Most recipes cook
in 1 to 2 hours and need to be
stirred midway during cooking, at
the end of cooking and while keeping warm.
4. When cooking time is complete and food is ready to be served, unplug
from outlet.
5. Using oven mitts, carefully remove the Glass Lid by grasping the
Knob and lifting the Lid slightly away from you. This will allow the
steam to escape before removing the lid.
6. Allow a few seconds for all steam to escape. Then, using oven
mitts, remove the Stoneware Liner from the Cooking Base.
7. Even when unplugged, the Slow Cooker remains hot for some
time after using; set aside and allow unit to cool before cleaning
or storing.
NOTE: If you are moving the Slow Cooker, use pot holders or
oven mitts.
8. Allow to cool completely before cleaning, see CLEANING YOUR
SLOW COOKER.
