Frequently Asked Questions - Hook Up SCCPMD2-CH Crock-Pot

How do I set the cooking time?

Press the TIMER button and use the +/- buttons to set the desired cooking time in 30-minute increments, up to 20 hours. Then select LOW or HIGH heat. The cooker will automatically switch to WARM when done.

Can I leave the slow cooker unattended?

Yes, the Crock-Pot Hook Up is designed for safe unattended use with automatic shut-off and Warm mode. However, always follow safety guidelines and avoid leaving it on for extended periods without food.

Is the stoneware insert oven-safe?

The stoneware insert is oven-safe up to 400°F (200°C) but only without the lid. It is also microwave-safe. Do not use on stovetop or under broiler.

How do I clean the slow cooker?

Unplug and let cool. Remove the stoneware insert and glass lid. They are dishwasher-safe. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the base in water.

What is the difference between LOW and HIGH settings?

LOW cooks at approximately 200°F (93°C) and is suitable for all-day cooking. HIGH cooks at approximately 300°F (149°C) for faster results. Both settings reach the same final temperature but at different rates.

Can I cook frozen meat in the Crock-Pot?

It is not recommended to cook frozen meat due to safety concerns. For best results, thaw meat before cooking to ensure even heating and avoid foodborne illness.

What should I do if the display shows an error?

Unplug the unit for 5 minutes to reset. If the error persists, check for loose connections or contact Crock-Pot customer service. Do not attempt to repair yourself.

How much food can I cook at once?

For optimal results, fill the stoneware at least half full but no more than 2/3 full. Overfilling may cause spills; underfilling may overcook.

Can I use aluminum foil or liners?

Yes, you can use slow cooker liners for easy cleanup. Do not use aluminum foil at the bottom as it may affect heat distribution. Always follow liner instructions.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Replacement stoneware inserts, lids, and sealing gaskets are available on the Crock-Pot website or authorized retailers. Use only genuine parts for safety.

HOOK UP™

connectable entertaining system

*For use with 2x1-Qt Double, 2-Qt Round and 3.5-Qt Oval units as part of the Hook Up™ Connectable Entertaining System

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

I. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug, or heating base in water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Use oven mitts or allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the manufacturer (see warranty) for examination, repair, or adjustment.
7. Do not use outdoors.
8. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch heated surfaces.
9. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
10. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids. Always use oven mitts when moving your heated unit.
II. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
12. Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as adding refrigerated foods or cold liquids into a heated pot.
13. To disconnect, press/switch OFF then remove plug from wall outlet or connecting units.
14. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may cause injuries.
15. Keep 6 inches clear from the wall and 6 inches clear on all sides.
16. CAUTION: To prevent damage or shock hazard, do not cook directly in the heating base. Cook only in the stoneware provided.

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt to service this product. A retractable power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord.

AN EXTENSION CORD MAY BE USED WITH CARE; HOWEVER, THE MARKED ELECTRICAL RATING SHOULD BE AT LEAST AS GREAT AS THE ELECTRICAL RATING OF THE UNIT. The extension cord should not be allowed to drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that

IMPORTANT NOTE: This appliance has a unique Patent Pending plug design that will only allow it to work when used as a single unit and plugged into a wall outlet or when using with other units in the Crock-Pot ^® Hook Up ^™ Connectable Entertaining System. For your safety, do not attempt to alter the product or plug in any other electrical products not sold with this system.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Some countertop and table surfaces are not designed to withstand the prolonged heat generated by certain appliances. Do not set the heated unit on a finished wood table. We recommend placing a hot pad or trivet under your unit to prevent possible damage to the surface.

NOTE: During initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke and/or odor may be detected. This is normal with many heating appliances and will not recur after a few uses.

NOTE: Please use caution when placing your stoneware on a ceramic or smooth glass cook top stove, countertop, table, or other surface. Due to the nature of the stoneware, the rough bottom surface may scratch some surfaces if caution is not used. Always place protective padding under stoneware before setting on table or countertop.

Nothing creates a stronger connection than socializing with friends and family. With the Crock-Pot® Hook Up™ Connectable Entertaining System, hosting everything from intimate gatherings to large dinner parties (and everything in-between) is easier than ever. You and your guests will be connected in no time!

Up to six units can hook up using a single outlet, and you're ready to prepare - and elegantly serve - soups, stews, dips, and desserts for any occasion.

Using Your Connectable Entertaining System

Preparing your Crock-Pot® Hook Up™ Connectable Entertaining System for use:

I. Before you use your units, remove all packaging components and wash the lid and stoneware with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly.
2. Check that the Temperature Control Knob is in the OFF position.
3. Place the unit(s) in the desired serving area prior to turning the units on. There are integrated handles located on the bottom of both sides of each unit for easy handling.

WARNING: Do not attempt to lift multiple units at one time when they are connected together or stacked.

Assembly:

I. Place Stoneware into the Heating Base.
2. Lower the Glass Lid(s) horizontally down onto the Stoneware.

How to use:

I. Place the Removable Stoneware into the Heating Base, add your ingredients, and cover with the Glass Lid(s).
2. Plug in your unit and select the temperature setting from the three setting options. Refer to your specific recipe for more precise cook times.

1. When heating or cooking is done, unplug your unit and allow it to cool before cleaning.
2. Once the unit has cooled, store the cord by slowly feeding the cord back into the base until it clicks into place.

Usage notes:

• If you suspect that the power has gone out during the day, the food may be unsafe to eat. If you are unaware of how long the power was out, we suggest you discard the food inside.
• For recipes that require a range of times, select the time closest to the setting on your unit.
• To avoid over or under-cooking, always fill the Stoneware 12 to 34 full to conform to recommended cook times (with the exception of certain cakes and custards, and as guided otherwise in our slow cooker recipes).
• Do not overfill Stoneware. To prevent spillover, do not fill Stoneware higher than 34 full.
• Always cook, with the Glass Lid(s) on, for the recommended time. Do not remove the lid during the first two hours of cooking.
• Always wear oven mitts when handling the Glass Lid(s) or Stoneware.
• Unplug when cooking is done and before cleaning.
• Removable Stoneware is ovenproof and microwave-safe. Do not use Removable Stoneware on gas or electric burner or under broiler. (Refer to chart on page 20.)

NOTE: Recommended maximum number of units to plug in to one outlet is six (6). This may vary depending on circuit.

Fuse/Overload Protection:

Your system is designed to prevent connecting more than the recommended number of units (six) to each other. When using multiple units together, and when necessary, any unit that overloaded the system will turn itself off.

• Depending on the circuit, you may need to remove one or more units from your system so the circuit does not trip again from overload.
• If this happens, simply reset the built in Resettable Circuit Breaker on the unit that is plugged directly into the wall. To reset the unit, push the resettable button with your index finger as shown:

Additionally, you may have to reset all the subsequent units that are connected after the tripped unit that overloaded the system.

- You will notice which units have turned themselves off, as the Indicator Light will no longer be illuminated on these units.

Your system is designed to stack for easier storage.

To stack your system:

I. Turn the Glass Lid(s) of each unit in your system upside down and nest it inside the Stoneware (See Figure A).

1. Stack each unit on top of one another by placing the base of Unit A on top of the base of Unit B (See Figure B).

Figure B

NOTE: If the 2 x 1 Qt model/models (model SCCPMD1) are a part of your system, they will always need to be at the bottom or base of the stack (See Figure B for reference to size).

Care and cleaning:

• Always turn your unit(s) off, unplug from the electrical outlet, and allow to cool down prior to cleaning.
- The Glass Lid(s) and Stoneware can be washed in the dishwasher, or with hot, soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaning compounds or scouring pads. A cloth, sponge or rubber spatula will usually remove residue. To remove water spots and other stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner or vinegar.
- As with any fine ceramic, the Stoneware and Glass Lid(s) will not withstand any sudden temperature changes. Do not wash the Stoneware and Lid(s) with cold water when they are hot.
- The outside of the Heating Base may be cleaned with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water. Wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

CAUTION: Never immerse the Heating Base in water or other liquids. No other servicing should be performed.
