PARTS DESCRIPTION

See pages 2-3.

INTRODUCTION TO SLOW COOKING

Slow cooking occurs at temperatures around boiling point. The slow cooker is designed to operate all day or all night if required, on the LOW position. Food will cook on HIGH in about half the time required with the LOW setting. Additional liquid may be required as food boils on the high setting. Always unplug the appliance when not in use.

Slow cooking allows ingredients to tenderize due to the longer cooking process. For this reason, make sure you use ingredients that benefit from the slower cooking process, such as to tenderize meat, cook tough vegetables, make soup, and make casseroles.

• Carefully unpack your slow cooker and clean it according to the instructions outlined in the “CLEANING AND CARE” section of the manual.
• It is necessary to operate the slow cooker once before placing food in the stoneware liner. Place the unit on a heat resistant surface. Pour 4 cups of water into the stoneware liner and place it into the base unit. Cover with the glass lid.
• Turn the set Heat to “High” position, and allow heating for approximately 30 minutes. You may notice a slight odor; this is normal and will quickly diminish.
• Turn the control to OFF and allow the unit to cool for 20 minutes.
• While wearing oven mitts, grab the stoneware liner by its handles to carefully lift it and remove it from the base unit. Pour the water out from the stoneware liner.
• Rinse the stoneware liner, dry it thoroughly, and replace into the base unit.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

- Place the ingredients to be slow cooked directly in the stoneware liner.

Note: Do not fill the liner to the top with food.

- Put the lid on the stoneware liner.

- Place the slow cooker on a flat, level, and heat-resistant surface.

- Insert the plug in a grounded power socket, 120V, UL type.

- To begin cooking, select the temperature setting from the three setting options.

- LOW is recommended for slow all day cooking. One hour on HIGH is equivalent to approximately 1½ to 2 hours on LOW. The WARM setting is only for keeping already cooked food at the perfect serving temperature until you are ready to eat.

- NOTE: Do not cook on the WARM setting. It is not recommended to use the WARM setting for more than 4 hours.

- When cooking is complete, turn the knob back to OFF.

• Using oven mitts, carefully lift the lid away from you, using its knob to allow steam to escape.
• You can either serve the prepared meal from the crock pot or transfer it into another serving piece. When taking the stoneware liner out of the aluminum pan, use oven mitts to grasp the handles, particularly if you are sensitive to heat. Always grasp the liner by its handles using oven mitts.
• Always let the appliance cool down before cleaning or storing it. Even when turned off and unplugged, the Slow Cooker will remain hot for some time after use.

WARNING:

According to U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food Safety and Inspection Service, to avoid food-borne illnesses, foods such as meat, fish, and poultry should be thoroughly cooked before consumption. Before consuming, determine the temperature of the foods using a food thermometer (not included). Refer to the USDA web site for information on food temperature rules.

• In accordance with the recipe that you are using, you can select different heat modes: LOW (Low cooking setting), HIGH (High cooking setting) or WARM.
• The LOW heat setting gently simmers food for an extended period without overcooking or burning. No stirring is required when using this setting. It is ideal for vegetable dishes.
• Although the HIGH setting accelerates cooking, it remains slow when compared to a classic cooking mode. Your food may simmer gently, allowing the ingredients to give off their flavor. The HIGH heat setting will cook food in one hour compared to 1½ or 2 hours required for the LOW heat setting. As food will nearly boil when cooked on the HIGH heat setting, it may be necessary to add extra liquid, depending on the recipe and the amount of time in which it is cooked. Occasional stirring of stews and casseroles will improve the flavor distribution. Food should be monitored when using the high setting, just like cooking in a pot with a lid on.
• You can also use the HIGH setting for the first couples of hours of cooking and then switch back to the LOW setting for the remainder of the cooking.
• Using the WARM position, the slow cooker will keep the food at serving temperature after cooking, at approx. 75°C/165°F. Do not use this setting to cook food.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

• 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).
• Always cook, with the lid on, for the recommended time. Do not remove the lid during the first two hours of cooking.
• Removable stoneware is ovenproof and microwave safe. Do not use removable stoneware on gas or electric burner or under broiler. Refer to chart under Cleaning and Care.
• To prolong the appliance's lifespan and to protect the slow cooker, we advise you not to create thermal shocks during use. For example, never pour boiling liquid on cold ingredients. Inversely, never put

frozen food in a hot preparation. As a rule, if the liner is hot, do NOT add cold or frozen food.

- Before cooking frozen food, defrost in warm water in a separate bowl or container.

- Never fill the stoneware liner to the brim as the preparation might overflow during the cooking process (leave a minimum of 2 inches of space to the rim)

- Do not use for more than 16 hours consecutively.

- Defrost frozen ingredients before adding them to the slow cooker.

- Remember that frequent lifting of the lid during cooking will allow heat to escape, thereby increase the required cooking time.

- When cooking a meat and vegetable combination, place the vegetables at the bottom of the stoneware liner first, and then add the meat and other ingredients.

- Meat will not brown when slow cooking. If you wish to brown the meat, do so in a separate cooking pan before putting in the slow cooker.

- Whole herbs and spices have a better flavor than if crushed or ground.

- Remember that liquids do not boil away in a slow cooker like they would do in a normal pan. Reduce the amount of liquids if following a recipe not specifically written for slow cooking. Exceptions to this rule are soups and rice. If a recipe results in too much liquid, remove the cover and turn the appliance to the HIGH setting.

- Most recipes that call for uncooked meat or vegetables will require about 6-8 hours slow cooking time on the LOW setting.

- Meat with a high fat content will result in less flavorful dishes. Pre-cooking or browning these meats will help reduce the amount of fat. The higher the fat content, the smaller the amount of water is needed. If cooking meat with a high fat content, cook on a bed of thick onion slices so that the meat will not sit and cook in the fat. If necessary, skim off the excess fat from the top of the food, using a spoon, before serving.

- Food cut in small (or medium) uniform pieces will cook more evenly and faster than if left whole (poultry, roasts)

- Rice, noodles, pasta, and creams are not recommended to cook for extended periods of time. Please cook separately and add to the preparation 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time.

• DO NOT SWITCH THE COOKER ON WHEN THE CERAMIC POT IS EMPTY OR OUT OF THE BASE!
• Never leave uncooked food at room temperature in the slow cooker.
• Do not use the slow cooker to reheat food.
• The slow cooker must be at least half full for best results.
• Many recipes require a day's worth of cooking time. If you don't have the time to prepare ingredients in the morning, prepare them the night before and keep them in the fridge in an air-tight container overnight. In the morning, place them in the stoneware pot and add liquid, and cook according to directions.
• Remember: All solid food should be covered with a liquid, gravy, or sauce.

COOKING WITH YOUR SLOW COOKER

Contrary to classical cooking methods, your appliance does not heat food from below, but rather from the sides. The walls of the appliance are heated and the heat is spread over the whole unit. This way the food does not stick to the bottom of the container and may thus cook for a long time.

All preparations that need slow cooking, i.e. to "simmer", can be made with the slow cooker, but other preparations may be adapted to this cooking mode.

The guide below will help simplify the process of slow cooking, allowing you to obtain ultimate satisfaction from your slow cooker.

It's all in the timing!

Always allow sufficient time for the food to cook. It is almost impossible to overcook in the slow cooker, particularly when using the LOW setting. Most recipes can be cooked on any one of the temperature settings; however, the cooking times will vary accordingly.

Adapting cooking times

Your favorite traditional recipes can be adapted easily, by halving the amount of liquid and increasing the cooking time considerably. See the guide that follows for suggested cooking times and settings when adjusting your favorite recipes.

Traditional Recipe Time: Slow Cooker Recipe Time:

15-30 minutes 4-6 hours on LOW heat setting

60 minutes 6-8 hours on LOW heat setting

1-3 hours 8-12 hours on LOW heat setting

NOTE! These times are approximate. Times can vary depending on ingredients and quantities in recipes.

All food should be cooked with the glass lid well in place. Each time the lid is lifted, both the heat and moisture are decreasing. Cooking times should be adjusted by to accommodate this factor.

Liquid amounts

When food is cooking in your slow cooker, very little moisture boils away. To compensate this, it is advisable to halve the liquid content of traditional recipes.

However, if after cooking the liquid content is excessive, remove the lid and operate the slow cooker on the High heat setting for 30-45 minutes or until the liquid reduces by the desirable amount.

Stirring the food

Little or no stirring is required when using the LOW or WARM setting. When using the HIGH heat setting, stirring ensures even flavor distribution.

REFERENCE TEMPERATURES

Please use the following table as a reference for the temperature reached.

Operating time	Approx. temperature on HIGH setting	Approx. temperature on LOW setting
1 hour	61°F / 16°C	61°F / 16°C

CLEANING AND CARE

• Always switch to the off position, unplug the appliance, and wait for it to cool down before cleaning it.
• Remove the lid and take the stoneware liner out using the handles. Wash them in hot, soapy water. You can also immerse them in water, but never use scouring pads to clean them. Rinse thoroughly.
• Do not allow the pot to stand in water for a long time (You can leave water in the pot to soak). There is an area on the base of the ceramic pot that has to remain unglazed for manufacturing purposes. This unglazed area is porous, therefore will soak up water. This should be avoided.
• The stoneware liner and lid can also be washed in the dishwasher. However, care should be taken not to chip or crack the stoneware liner or lid.
• Wipe the inside of the aluminum pan and the body of the appliance with a damp sponge. Never immerse in water. Never put them in the dishwasher.
• Never immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid. Never fill the stoneware liner with water to clean it when it is still in the aluminum pan.
• 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 lid will not withstand sudden temperature changes. Do not wash the stoneware or lid with cold water when they are hot.

- Avoid sudden, extreme temperature changes. For example, do not place a hot glass lid or stoneware liner into cold water or onto a wet surface.

- Do not put the ceramic pot or glass lid in an oven, freezer, microwave, or on a gas/electrical hob. Refer to chart below for guidance:

Part	Dishwasher Safe	Oven Safe	Microwave Safe	Stovetop Safe
Lid	Yes	No	No	No
Stoneware	Yes	Yes, but not in broiler	Yes	No

- Do not use the stoneware liner to store food in the refrigerator, and then reheat in the base unit. The sudden temperature change may crack the liner. Let the stoneware liner warm up at room temperature for 40 minutes before using with the base unit.

- Avoid hard shocks against the liner and lid.

• Do not put the glass lid in the refrigerator, otherwise it may crack.

• Do not use if liner or lid are chipped, cracked or severely scratched.

- Do not attempt to repair or replace a damaged power cord!

- Do not attempt to reheat frozen foods directly in the slow cooker.

- Contact the repair center of the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified person for repair or replacement of the power cord.

- Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
