7.Do not use this appliance in an unstable position.
8.Never use the stoneware pot on a gas or electric cooktop or on an open flame.
9.Lift off lid carefully to avoid scalding, and allow water to drip into stoneware pot.
10.CAUTION: To protect against damage or electric shock, do not cook in base unit. Cook only in the stoneware pot provided.
Notes on the Plug
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in 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 modify the plug in any way.
Notes on the Cord
The provided short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) should be used to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Do not use an extension cord with this product.
Plasticizer Warning
CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating to the finish of the counter top or table top or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC coasters or place mats between the appliance and the finish of the counter top or table top. Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken; permanent blemishes may occur or stains can appear.
Electric Power
If the electrical circuit is overloaded with other appliances, your appliance may not operate properly. It should be operated on a separate electrical circuit from other appliances.

Introduction To Slow Cooking
Slow cooking occurs at temperatures just around boiling. The Programmable Slow Cooker can operate at LOW all day or night if required. When cooking on a HIGH setting, it is very much like a covered pot on the stove top. Foods will cook on HIGH in about half the time required for LOW cooking. Additional liquid may be required as foods do boil on HIGH. To turn the Slow Cooker OFF, press the power OFF button. Always unplug from electrical outlet when not in use.
Before Using for the First Time
1.Carefully unpack your Programmable Slow Cooker and clean, see CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS.
2.It is necessary to operate the Slow Cooker one time before placing food in the stoneware pot.
Pour 4 cups of water into the stoneware pot and place it inside the base unit. Cover with the glass lid.
3.Plug into a 120 V AC outlet. The 3 program indicator lights will flash until the unit is programmed.
4.Press the LOW/HIGH/WARM selector button until the HIGH program indicator light illuminates.
Press the TIME program UP arrow until “0:30” appears on the time display. The Slow Cooker will begin to heat in 2 seconds.
NOTE: You will notice a slight odor; this is normal and should quickly disappear.
5.When the cooking time expires (00:00), the WARM indicator will flash for 5 seconds and then will activate the keep warm mode for 4 hours.
NOTE: Press the POWER button any time to turn the Programmable Slow Cooker OFF.
6.Wearing oven mitts, grasp the pot handles carefully to lift and remove the stoneware pot from the base unit; pour out the water from the stoneware pot.
7.Rinse stoneware pot, dry thoroughly and replace inside the base unit.

Operating Instructions
1.Prepare recipe according to instructions.
2.Place food into the stoneware pot and cover with glass lid. DO NOT FILL THE POT TO THE TOP WITH FOOD. For best results, the slow cooker should be at least half-filled. If cooking soups or stews, allow a 2-inch space between the food and the top of the cooking pot, so ingredients can come to simmer. NOTE: When cooking a meat and vegetable combination, place the vegetables in the bottom of the stoneware pot first. Then add the meat and other ingredients.
NOTE: When cooking on HIGH, keep checking progress, as some soups may come to boil. Remember that frequent lifting of the lid during cooking delays the cooking time.
WARNING: The stoneware pot CANNOT stand the shock of sudden temperature changes. If the pot is hot, DO NOT add cold food. Before cooking frozen food, add some warm liquid.
3.Plug cord into a 120 V AC outlet. The 3 program indicator lights will flash until the unit is programmed.
4.Following recipe instructions, press the LOW/HIGH/WARM selector button until the desired LOW, HIGH or WARM program indicator light illuminates.
5.Press the TIME program UP arrow and “0:30” (30 minutes) will appear on the time display. Continue to press the UP or DOWN arrows until the target cooking time appears on the time display.
The Programmable Slow Cooker can be programmed in half hour (30 minute) increments from “0:30” (30 minutes) to “20:00” (20 hours). The Slow Cooker will begin to heat.
NOTE: Press the UP or DOWN arrows to adjust target cook time at any time while the Slow Cooker is cooking. NOTE: Press the OFF button at any time to turn the Programmable Slow Cooker OFF.
6.The time on the display will begin to count down in minutes until “0:00” minutes is shown on the display. CAUTION: The base unit will get very warm during cooking. This is where the heating elements are located. Use pot holders or oven mitts when moving or handling the unit.
7.When the cooking time expires (00:00), the WARM indicator will flash for 5 second and then will activate the keep warm mode for 4 hours.
NOTE: Press the POWER button at any time to turn the Programmable Slow Cooker OFF.
8.To manually select the warm setting, press the MODE button until WARM is illuminated.The Programmable Slow Cooker will WARM by default for “04:00” (4 hours).
NOTE: Press the STOP button at any time to turn the Programmable Slow Cooker OFF.
9.Using oven mitts, carefully remove the glass lid by grasping the lid knob and lifting the lid slightly away from you. This will allow the steam to escape before removing the lid.
10.Allow a few seconds for all steam to escape. Then, using oven mitts, remove the stoneware pot from the base unit. Serve contents. If serving directly from the stoneware pot, always place a trivet
or protective padding under the pot before placing it on a table or countertop.
11.Unplug from electrical outlet. Allow to cool completely before cleaning, see CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS. NOTE: If you are moving the Slow Cooker, grasp the unit by the base unit handles; use pot holders or oven mitts. (See Figure 2.)
12.Even when turned OFF and unplugged, the Slow Cooker remains hot for some time after using; set aside and allow unit to cool before cleaning or storing.

Hints For Slow Cooking
•Less tender, cheaper cuts of meat are better candidates for slow cooking than more expensive varieties.
•Meats will not brown during the cooking process. Browning fatty meats will reduce the amount of fat and help to preserve color while adding richer flavor. Heat a small amount of oil in a skillet and brown meats prior to putting into the stoneware pot.
•Whole herbs and spices flavor better in slow cooking than crushed or ground.
•When cooking in a Slow Cooker, remember that liquids do not boil away like they do in conventional cooking. Reduce the amount of liquid in any recipe that is not designed for a Slow Cooker. The exceptions to this rule would be rice and soups. Remember, liquids can always be added at a later time if necessary. If a recipe results in too much liquid at the end of the cooking time, remove the cover and re-program the Slow Cooker to continue to cook HIGH for 45 minutes. Check every 15 minutes. After about 30-45 minutes the amount of liquid will be reduced.
•Most recipes that call for uncooked meat and vegetables require about 6-8 hours on LOW temperature.
•Foods cut into uniform pieces will cook faster and more evenly than foods left whole such as roast or poultry.
•Vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, turnips and beets require longer cooking time than many meats. Be sure to place them on the bottom of the Slow Cooker and cover them with liquid.
•Add fresh dairy products (milk, sour cream or yogurt) prior to serving. Evaporated milk or condensed creamed soups may be added at the start of cooking.
•Rice, noodles and pasta are not recommended for long cooking periods. Cook them separately and then add to the Slow Cooker during the last 30 minutes.
User Maintenance Instructions
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Any servicing requiring disassembly other than cleaning, must be performed by a qualified appliance repair technician.
1.Avoid sudden, extreme temperature changes. For example, do not place a hot glass lid or stoneware pot into cold water or onto a wet surface.
2.Do not use the stoneware pot to store food in the refrigerator, and then reheat in the base unit. The sudden temperature change may crack the pot.
3.Avoid hitting the stoneware pot and glass lid against the faucet or other hard surfaces.
4.Do not use stoneware pot or glass lid if chipped, cracked, or severely scratched.
