Frequently Asked Questions - Set ’n Forget 33961 HAMILTON BEACH

How to use the probe mode?
Insert the probe into the center of the food without touching the bottom of the pot. Plug the probe into the side jack. Press POWER (I), then PROBE. Select the heat setting (HIGH or LOW) and desired internal temperature in °F or °C. Press ENTER. The slow cooker heats until reaching the temperature, then automatically switches to warm.
Why are my foods not cooked?
Check that you haven't used the WARM setting for cooking (it's only for keeping warm). Make sure the lid is properly placed and there has been no prolonged power outage. If using LOW setting, allow longer cooking time than for HIGH. For recipes, check the amount of liquid and size of pieces.
Can I use the pot on a stove?
Yes, the stovetop-safe pot can be used on a gas or electric stove to sear foods before placing them in the base. Do not heat it empty and use medium-high heat. After searing, carefully place the pot into the slow cooker base.
How to clean the slow cooker?
Always unplug the appliance. Wash the removable pot and glass lid in warm soapy water (not dishwasher). Wipe the base and probe with a soft damp cloth. Clean the silicone seal on the lid to prevent odors.
Does the slow cooker shut off automatically?
Yes, after 14 hours of total operation (cooking + keep warm), the slow cooker turns off and displays OFF. In Program mode, it switches to warm after cooking and turns off after 14 hours. In Manual mode, it also turns off after 14 hours.
Can I cook with the probe without setting a temperature?
No, the probe mode requires setting a target internal temperature. If you don't want to use the probe, choose Manual (HIGH or LOW) or Program mode.
What to do if the display remains off?
Check that the appliance is plugged in and the outlet works (test with a lamp). Press POWER (I) – the display should show SEL. If a power outage longer than 5 seconds occurred, the appliance does not retain settings; they need to be reprogrammed.
Can I leave the slow cooker unattended?
Yes, the slow cooker is designed for long unattended cooking. Program and Probe modes automatically switch to warm, and the appliance shuts off after 14 hours. Ensure the cord is out of reach of children and the appliance is on a stable surface.
How to change the display from °F to °C?
Press the PROBE and ENTER buttons simultaneously to toggle between °F and °C. The appliance reverts to °F after unplugging. The setting is retained as long as the appliance remains plugged.
Can I put the lid in the oven?
No, the glass lid should not be placed in a conventional oven, microwave, or on a stovetop. It is designed solely for the slow cooker. The removable pot can go in the oven without the lid.

Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.

This appliance is only intended for the preparation, cooking, and serving of foods. This appliance is not intended for use with any nonfood materials or products.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is

provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug.

VESSEL AND LID: PRECAUTIONS AND INFORMATION

  • Please handle vessel and lid carefully to ensure long life.
  • Avoid sudden, extreme temperature changes. For example, do not place a hot lid into cold water, or onto a wet surface.
  • Avoid hitting vessel or lid against faucet or other hard surfaces.
  • Do not use vessel or lid if chipped, cracked, or severely scratched.
  • Do not use abrasive cleansers or metal scouring pads.

  • The vessel and lid can become very hot. Use caution. Do not place directly on any unprotected surface or countertop.

  • The vessel is oven-proof, but never heat vessel when empty.
  • Do not place lid in a microwave oven, conventional oven, or on stove top.

REMOVING LID AND VESSEL

When removing lid, tilt so that opening faces away from you to avoid being burned by steam.

The sides of the slow cooker's base get very warm because the heating elements are located here. Use handles on base if necessary. Use oven mitts to remove vessel.

Cooking Modes

No matter what you plan to cook, the Set 'N Forget' slow cooker has three cooking modes to make it easy. Here is how to choose the one that is right for your lifestyle and the food you're cooking.

Will you be away when your food is finished cooking?

Use PROGRAM Mode. Input preferred amount of cooking time and the slow cooker automatically shifts to WARM at end of selected cooking time. Food won't overcook!

Are you cooking a large cut of meat or using a recipe that requires food to reach a certain temperature?

Use PROBE Mode. For many foods, especially large cuts of meat like roasts, chicken, turkey, and pork, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The temperature probe with this slow cooker takes guesswork out of slow cooking. Select desired internal food temperature and slow cooker will automatically shift to WARM once temperature is reached. By using Cooking Guide for Probe, you can estimate the amount of time the food will need to cook. Visit foodsafety.gov or fsis.usda.gov for more information about cooking times.

Do you want to cook the traditional way without setting a time? — OR —

Do you want to heat previously cooked food?

Use MANUAL Mode. Lets you select traditional HIGH or LOW settings.

Do you want to keep previously cooked food warm?

(For instance, moving slow cooker from kitchen to buffet table.)

Use PROBE Mode. Once food reaches desired temperature, you can select WARM setting to monitor food temperature.

Use MANUAL Mode. Lets you select WARM setting.

Use PROGRAM Mode. Lets you select WARM setting.

Slow cooker will shut off after desired time.

*For 6-quart slow cooker only. Adjust the size and weight of food to fit 5-quart (or smaller) slow cooker.
NOTE: If cooking dense vegetables (such as potatoes or other root vegetables) with meats, check for doneness when desired meat temperature is reached. These types of vegetables may take longer to cook when cooked with meats/foods such as those listed in the Cooking Guide above.

Tips for Slow Cooking

  • The stovetop-safe vessel should be at least half-filled for best results. If only half-filled, check for doneness 1 to 2 hours earlier than recipe time.
  • Stirring is not necessary when slow cooking. Removing glass lid results in major heat loss and the cooking time may need to be extended. However, if cooking on HIGH, you may want to stir occasionally.
  • If cooking soups or stews, leave a 2-inch (5.1-cm) space between top of stovetop-safe vessel and food so recipe can come to a simmer.
  • Many recipes call for cooking all day. If your morning schedule doesn't allow time to prepare a recipe, prepare it the night before. Place all ingredients in stovetop-safe vessel, cover with lid, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, simply place stovetop-safe vessel in slow cooker.

  • Some foods are not suited for extended cooking in a slow cooker. Pasta, seafood, milk, cream, or sour cream should be added 2 hours before serving. Evaporated milk or condensed soups are perfect for slow cooking.

  • The higher the fat content of meat, the less liquid is needed. If cooking meat with a high fat content, place thick onion slices underneath so meat will not sit on (and cook in) fat.
  • Slow cookers allow for very little evaporation. If making your favorite soup, stew, or sauce, reduce liquid called for in original recipe. If too thick, liquid can be added later.
  • If cooking a vegetable-type casserole, there will need to be liquid in recipe to prevent scorching on sides of stovetop-safe vessel.
  • If cooking a recipe with root vegetables, place root vegetables in bottom of stovetop-safe vessel.

Food Safety Tips

  • Do not use frozen, uncooked meat in slow cooker. Thaw any meat or poultry before slow cooking.
  • Visit www.foodsafety.gov or fsis.usda.gov for more information on safe internal cooking temperatures.
  • To store leftovers after cooking, do NOT place stovetop-safe vessel in the refrigerator since contents will take too long to cool. Instead, divide leftovers into smaller containers and place into refrigerator.

- Never allow undercooked or raw meat to sit at room temperature in the slow cooker. Once meat is placed into stovetop-safe cookware, it should be cooked immediately (unless prepping slow cooker the night before, where stovetop-safe vessel should be placed into the refrigerator).

Care and Cleaning

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard.

Disconnect power before cleaning. Do not immerse cord, plug, or base in any liquid.

  1. Press OFF (● and unplug.
  2. Remove stovetop-safe vessel with oven mitts. Let cool.
  3. Wipe base of slow cooker and probe with a soft, damp cloth. Dry. Wrap probe wire around handle for storage.
  4. Wash stovetop-safe vessel and lid in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry.

Tip: To prevent lingering food smells, clean rubber lid gasket with hot, soapy water after each use.

Troubleshooting

There is no display visible on the control panel.

  • Is unit plugged in?
  • Is unit turned on? Display should flash SEL.
  • Test that the electrical outlet is working with a lamp in known working order.
  • Was power interrupted (due to brownout, electrical storm, etc.) for 5 seconds or longer?

Food is undercooked.

  • Was food cooked on WARM setting? Do not cook on WARM setting; always cook on LOW or HIGH heat settings.
  • Was power interrupted (due to brownout, electrical storm, etc.) for 5 seconds or longer?
    NOTE: For a power interruption of 5 seconds or less, the slow cooker will remember the programmed heat and time settings.
  • Did you select LOW heat setting, but used a cooking time based on HIGH heat setting?
    • Did you have the glass lid placed correctly on slow cooker?

- This can be due to voltage variations (which are commonplace everywhere) or altitude. Slight fluctuations in power do not have a noticeable effect on most appliances. However, they can alter cooking times in slow cooker by extending cooking times. Allow sufficient time and select the appropriate heat setting. You will learn through experience if a shorter or longer time is needed.

Food is overcooked.

  • Was the vessel at least half full? The slow cooker is designed to thoroughly cook food in a filled stovetop-safe vessel. If the vessel is only half-filled, check for doneness 1 to 2 hours earlier than recipe time.
  • Did you select time based on a LOW heat recipe but use a HIGH heat setting? Foods will continue to increase in temperature after desired temperature has been reached.
