GETTING STARTED

This appliance is intended for household use only.

• Remove all packing material, any stickers, and the plastic band around the power plug.
• Go to www.prodprotect.com/applica to register your product.
• Wash all removable parts as instructed in CARE AND CLEANING. Place the clean, dry stoneware pot in the cooking base
• Select a location where the slow cooker is to be used. Place the unit on a stable, heat resistant surface, free from cloth, liquids and any other flammable materials. Place the unit with ample space all the way around it, and far enough away from the wall, to allow heat to flow without damage to cabinets and walls.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR BLACK+DECKER SLOW COOKER

• The stoneware pot gets hot. When in use, always use oven mitts or potholders when touching any outer or inner surface of the appliance
• If there is a power outage, the slow cooker will turn off. If this is discovered quickly, continue cooking when the power is restored. If you are not sure how long the slow cooker has been off, discard the food.
• During first few minutes of use you may notice smoke and a slight odor. This is caused by oil that may have been used during manufacturing of the unit and will not impact the performance.
• Do not add cold food if the stoneware pot is hot, and vice versa. The stoneware material is not meant to handle sudden changes in temperature.

1. Add ingredients to the stoneware pot and cover with glass lid.
2. Plug in the appliance and turn the control knob to the desired heat setting. NOTE: Do not use the "Warm" setting to cook.
3. Set a kitchen timer for cook time if desired.
4. When cooking time is done, either turn the control knob to "Warm" or switch the appliance off. Do not keep foods on the "Warm" setting for more than 4 hours.
5. When ready to serve, switch the control knob to "Off".
6. Unplug the appliance when not in use and always allow the slow cooker to completely cool before cleaning.

CARE AND CLEANING

This product contains no user serviceable parts. Refer service to qualified service personnel.

Cleaning

IMPORTANT: Never immerse cooking base in water or other liquids.

1. Always unplug and allow to completely cool before cleaning.
2. Wash stoneware pot and glass lid in warm, soapy water. If food sticks to the stoneware pot, fill with warm, soapy water and allow it to soak before cleaning with a nonabrasive scouring pad.
   NOTE: Do not use abrasive cleaners on the stoneware pot.
   NOTE: Both the stoneware pot and glass lid are dishwasher safe.
3. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
4. Wipe interior and exterior of the cooking base with a soft, slightly damp cloth or sponge. Never use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads to clean the cooking base, as they may damage the surfaces.
5. Allow to dry thoroughly before storing.

Storing

Make sure that the appliance is thoroughly dry. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance; keep it loosely coiled. Placing the lid on upside-down for storage can help save space.

HELPFUL HINTS AND TIPS

General Tips:

• The stoneware pot should always be filled from 12 to 34 full, to avoid over and under cooking.
• When only half full, check for doneness 1 to 2 hours before recommended cooking time.
  -To avoid spillovers, do not fill slow cooker more than 3/4 full.
  Always slow cook with the lid on.
• Do not open lid during first 2 hours of cooking; this allows heat to rise efficiently.
• Open the lid as little as possible to assure even cooking. Every time the lid is removed, the cooking time increases by 15-20 minutes.
• Most recipes can be cooked on either HIGH or LOW. Many recipes will give the time for both.

• Low: Often used for longer cooking times, 8-10 hours, or less tender cuts of meat.

• High: Cooking on high setting is similar to a covered pot on the stovetop. Foods will cook on high in about half the time required for low cooking. Additional liquid may be required as foods can boil on high.

• Warm: Only use to keep cooked foods at a food-safe serving temperature and should not be used to cook foods. It is not recommended to use "Warm" for more than 4 hours.
• Many standard recipes can be converted to slow cooker recipes with a few simple tips:
• Vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, turnips, and beats require longer cooking times than most meats. Always place them on the bottom of the stoneware pot and cover them with liquids.
• If adding fresh milk, yogurt, or cheese it should be done during the last 2 hours of cooking. Evaporated milk may be added at the start of cooking. If possible, substitute condensed soups for fresh milk or yogurt.
• Rice and pasta are not recommended for long cooking periods. Cook them separately and then add to the slow cooker during the last 30 minutes.
• Liquids do not boil away in a slow cooker like they do in conventional cooking. Reduce the amount of liquid in any recipe not designed for a slow cooker. The only exception would be soups.
• Foods cut into uniform pieces will cook faster and more evenly than foods left whole such as roast or poultry
• Removed excess fat before serving with a slice of bread, or a spoon to skim it off the top.
• To save time, fill the stoneware pot the night before and refrigerate. You may need to add some extra cooking time because the food and stoneware pot are cold.

Ingredient Tips:

DAIRY

• Milk products, especially those low in fat, tend to curdle if cooked too long; add them toward the end of the cooking time.
  Evaporated milk and condensed soups are great substitutes for milk and cream.

SOUPS AND STEWS

• Because there is little evaporation, soups and stews require less liquid than usual.
• If too thick, add additional liquid in last 12 hour of cooking or at serving time.
• Condensed soups and dry soup mixes add great flavor and body to sauces and gravies.

MEATS

• The higher the fat content, the less liquid needed. Also, place thickly sliced onions under fattier meat to keep it above the drippings.
• Browning before cooking in the slow cooker is not necessary; however, browning meats, lightly coated in flour gives more body and flavor to sauces. This works for ground meat as well.
• Make sure top of meat does not touch the lid.
• Cooking times will vary depending upon the size of the meat, the bones and the cut. Meat with bone-in will take longer to cook. Lean meats and poultry will cook faster.
• Meats slow cooked in liquids develop great flavor with a minimum of effort.
• Use HIGH for more tender cuts of meat; use LOW for tougher cuts.
• Always thoroughly thaw meats before cooking them in the slow cooker.

VEGETABLES

• Place vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, turnips, and beet at the very bottom of the stoneware pot and always cover them with liquids. They usually take longer to cook than most meat.
• Vegetables cook well; they develop better flavor and don't break down as they would in your oven.

FISH

• Fish cooks quickly; add it for the last 15 minutes.

SEASONINGS

• Fresh herbs should be added at the end of the cooking cycle. If cooked too long they lose their color and flavor.
• Dried herbs work well in the slow cooker and can be added at the beginning. They can become stronger on longer cooking; begin with less and add at end, if needed.
• Some spices and dried herbs, such as cinnamon sticks, bay leaves and whole peppercorns can become quite intense with long cooking, so use sparingly.
• If using bay leaves, remember to remove before serving.
• Whole herbs and spices flavor better in slow cooking than crushed or ground.
