SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Polarized Plug: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce risk of electric shock, plug is intended to fit into 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 try to modify the plug in any way.

Short Cord Instructions: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is used, the marked electrical rating of the cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance. The longer cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

BEFORE FIRST USE:

Remove all packing materials, tags and labels from the product.

Wash the ceramic cook pot and glass lid with hot soapy water with a sponge or dish cloth, rinse and dry thoroughly.

IMPORTANT: Do not immerse the slow cooker base in water.

NOTE: First time use may result in minimal odor or smoke. This comes from the manufacturing process. This is normal and harmless and will disappear once the appliance is used for a short period of time.

PARTS

FEATURES OF YOUR SLOW COOKER

Quality Glass Lid - Fits neatly onto the ceramic cook pot to retain heat and moisture for best results. Clear lid allows you to see food without having to lift lid, preventing heat and moisture from escaping.

Ceramic Cook Pot - Durable ceramic pot can be removed for convenience in serving, storage and cleaning. Dishwasher safe.

Indicator Light - When lit the base is turned on and heating.
Control Knob - Adjust the temperature settings from OFF - LOW - HIGH - WARM.
Cool Touch Handles and Lid Knob - Allows you to lift the lid during cooking and to carry base to table for serving.

Base - Contains electronics to heat the unit. Do not immerse in water or place in dishwasher. Wipe clean with damp cloth.

CONTROL KNOB AND COOKING SETTINGS

• The Control Knob offers two temperature settings, LOW and HIGH for cooking.
• The WARM setting keeps food prepared at a perfect temperature for serving.
• Use the WARM setting for serving foods only.
• Do not reheat foods using the WARM setting.

LOW SETTING:

The low setting is recommended for foods with lower amounts of liquid.

HIGH SETTING:

The high setting is recommended for foods with higher amounts of liquid and for meats and vegetables.

WARM SETTING:

The warm setting is recommended for keeping food warm for serving.

Food can be kept warm for up to 4 hours. Extended periods may result in over-drying of the food or altering the flavor of the food.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Before using, wash the glass lid and ceramic cook pot in warm soapy water.

Rinse and Dry thoroughly. CAUTION: Do not place slow cooker base in water or any liquid.

1. Place the slow cooker base on dry, flat, level, heat resistant surface.
2. Prepare food and place into cooking pot and place pot into base. Place lid on cook pot.

NOTE: Never place very cold or frozen foods into the cooking pot if preheated. If the cooking pot is frozen, DO NOT run under hot water, the ceramic pot could crack.

1. Plug cord into 120 Volt outlet.
2. Set desired cooking setting (Low, High or Warm). The indicator light will be illuminated showing that the power is on and unit is heating.
3. After the desired cooking mode is set, the unit will continue to heat until manually turned off.

CARE AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

• Always turn OFF the power switch then unplug unit before cleaning.
• The base should be cleaned using a damp, soapy cloth and wiping the inside and outside. Dry thoroughly.
• The cook pot and glass lid should be washed in hot, soapy water, rinsed and dried.

NOTE: The cook pot and glass lid are dishwasher-safe.

• Allow the cooking pot to cool prior to cleaning. Thermal shock (placing HOT bowl on cold surface or filling with cold water) can result in cracking of the pot. Soak the pot in warm water for several minutes to remove tough residue.
• DO NOT use metal scouring pads, abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals to clean your slow cooker, as these could damage the finishes.

WARNING: Never immerse the entire slow cooker in water or any other liquid as this will damage the slow cooker and void the warranty.

STORAGE AND DISPOSAL

STORAGE:

• Always ensure that the slow cooker is unplugged and in the OFF position before storing or cleaning.
• Make sure the appliance has cooled down completely before cleaning or storing.
• Store the appliance in a clean, cool, dry area out of the reach of children and pets.
• Do not wrap the power cord around the appliance when storing.
• Do not place any heavy objects on top of the appliance during storage.
• Save the packaging for transporting or storage of the appliance when not in use for extended periods of time.

DISPOSAL:

• This appliance may not be disposed of with ordinary household waste. Electrical and electronic waste must be disposed of properly.
• Contact your municipal authorities for further information on product disposal.

• The ceramic cook pot should be at least half full for optimal results.
• Most meat and vegetable recipes require 8-10 hours on LOW and 4-6 on HIGH.
• Vegetables usually take longer to cook than meat. Cut vegetables into small, even pieces and arrange in the lower half of the ceramic cook pot.
• Slow cooking retains moisture. If you wish to reduce the moisture content in the cooker, remove the lid and turn the control knob to high (if set at LOW or WARM) and simmer for an additional 30-40 minutes.
• All food should be covered with a sauce, gravy or liquid. In a separate pan or dish, prepare your sauce, gravy or liquid and completely cover the food in the ceramic cook pot.
• The glass lid is not a sealed fit. Removing the glass lid allows the built up heat to escape. Each time the lid is removed, an additional 10 minutes should be added to the cooking time.
• If cooking soups, leave a small amount of space between the ceramic cook pot and the food surface to allow for simmering. Do not overfill.
• Many causes can affect how quickly a recipe will cook, always consider the initial temperature of the food, size of food and water/fat content when slow cooking.
• Save time by preparing recipe ingredients the night before. Store the prepared food in a covered container in the refrigerator. Transfer the food to the ceramic cook pot and add gravy or liquid. Turn the control knob to desired setting.
• Once food is cooked, switch the cooker off and leave covered with the glass lid. There will be sufficient heat in the cook pot to keep the food warm for 30 minutes. If more time is required to keep the food warm, turn cooker to LOW setting.
• Never leave uncooked food at room temperature in the slow cooker.
• Do not use the cooker to reheat food.
