Introduction to Programmable Slow Cooking
At last! A Slow Cooker pretty enough to cook and serve in…with a convenient place to keep the mixing/serving
spoon! This Programmable Slow Cooker can operate at LOW all day or night, up to 20 hours... with an easy-toread digital count-down timer to turn the appliance OFF automatically. No more over-cooked slow cooked meals!
The front and back locked lid seals tight for spill-proof travel.
NOTE: When slow cooking on 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.
Before Using for the First Time
1. Carefully unpack your Programmable Slow Cooker. Remove all packaging and materials from the
stoneware pot, lid, and mixing spoon.
2. It is necessary to operate the Programmable Slow Cooker once before placing food in the stoneware pot.
3. Open the locking lid. Press front lid lock button, then use the lid handle to open the Slow Cooker lid.
4. Pour 4 cups of water into the stoneware pot.
5. Close the glass lid. An audible click can be heard as the lid locks into position.
6. Plug into a 120V AC outlet. The screen will begin to ash until the unit is programmed.
7. Press the MODE selector button until the HIGH program indicator illuminates on the screen. Press the
TIME program
+ button until “0:30” appears on the time display.The Slow Cooker will begin to heat in
2 seconds.
NOTE: You may notice a slight odor; this is normal and should quickly disappear.
8. When the cooking time expires (00:00), the warm setting will ash for 5 seconds 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.
9. Unplug the Slow Cooker and allow the unit to cool.
10. Press front lid lock button, then use the lid handle to open the hinged Slow Cooker lid. Wearing oven
mitts, grasp the pot handles carefully to lift and remove the stoneware pot from the base unit; empty the
water from the stoneware pot.
11. Wash the stoneware pot and mixing spoon in mild dish washing soap. Use a lightly soaped sponge to
clean the glass lid. Rinse and dry all parts thoroughly. Replace stoneware pot inside the base unit. Set
mixing spoon onto the spoon rest behind the lid.
Stoneware Pot Care
Like any ceramic, the stoneware pot may crack or break if not properly handled. To prevent damage, handle with
care!
WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions can cause breakage resulting in injury or property damage.
• ALWAYS USE POTHOLDERS OR OVEN MITTS WHEN HANDLING
HOT STONEWARE.
• DO NOT place hot stoneware pots on counter top.
Use a protective trivet.
• DO NOT place stoneware pot on any range top burner, under a broiler, microwave browning element, or in
a toaster oven.
• DO NOT strike utensils against rim of stoneware pot to dislodge food.
• DO NOT use stoneware pot to pop corn, caramelize sugar, or make candy.
• DO NOT use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or any object that will scratch the cookware or accessories.
• DO NOT use or repair any pot or lid that is chipped, cracked, or broken.
• DO NOT use stoneware pot for reheating foods or for general food storage.

2. Press front lid lock button, then use the lid handle to open the Slow Cooker lid.
3. Place food into the stoneware pot. DO NOT FILL THE Pot TO THE TOP WITH FOOD. For best results, the
Slow Cooker should be at least half-lled. When cooking soups or stews, allow a 2 inch space between the
food and the top of the cooking pot, so ingredients can come to a simmer.
NOTE: When cooking a meat and vegetable combination, place the vegetables in the bottom of the
stoneware pot rst. Then add the meat and other ingredients.
NOTE: When cooking on HIGH, check cooking progress, as some soups may come to boil. Remember that
frequent lifting of the lid during cooking delays the cook 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.
4. Plug into a 120V AC outlet. The screen will begin ashing until the unit is programmed.
5. Following recipe instructions press the MODE button until the desired HIGH or LOW program indicator
illuminates on the screen.
NOTE: Use the WARM function to reheat or keep cooked food warm.
6. Press the TIME program UP button and “0:30” (30 minutes) will appear on the TIME display. Continue to
press the
+ or – button until the target cook TIME is displayed. The Programmable Slow Cooker can be
programmed in half hour (30 minute) increments from “0:30” (30 minutes) to “20:00” (20 hours). After 2
seconds, the Slow Cooker will begin to heat.
NOTE: Press the
+ or – buttons to adjust target cook TIME at any time while the Slow Cooker is cooking.
NOTE: If the LOW or HIGH MODE is selected without entering a cook time the Programmable Slow Cooker
will heat by default for a time of “08:00” (8 hours) in LOW setting and “04:00” (4 hours) in HIGH.
NOTE: Press the POWER button at any time to turn the Programmable Slow Cooker OFF.
7. The TIME on the display will begin to count down in minutes until “0:00” minutes is shown.; cook time is
complete. When the cooking time expires (00:00), the warm setting will ash for 5 seconds and then will
automatically activate the keep warm mode for 4 hours.
NOTE: Press the POWER button at any time to turn the Programmable Slow Cooker OFF
8. Press front lid lock button, then use the lid handle to open the hinged Slow Cooker lid.
9. Allow a few seconds for all steam to escape. Inspect and test food for doneness and adjust seasonings if
needed.
10. 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 POWER button at any time to turn the Programmable Slow Cooker OFF.
11. Place the mixing spoon in the spoon rest and serve directly from
the stoneware pot, if desired.
CAUTION: The base unit will get very warm during cooking. This is
where the heating elements are located. When moving the
Programmable Slow Cooker, grasp the unit by the base unit
handles; use potholders or oven mitts. (See Figure 2.) Even when
turned OFF and unplugged, the Programmable Slow Cooker base
unit remains hot for some time after using; set aside and allow
unit to cool before cleaning or storing.
12. Unplug from electrical outlet. Allow to cool completely before
cleaning, see Cleaning Instructions.
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 avor. Heat a small amount of oil in a skillet and brown meats
prior to putting into the stoneware pot.
• Whole herbs and spices avor 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 1 hour (1:00). Check every 15 minutes until the amount of liquid
is reduced. Press the POWER button when the desired consistency is achieved.
• Most recipes that call for uncooked meat and vegetables require about 6-8 hours on LOW temperature.
• The higher the fat content, the less liquid needed. If cooking meat with a high fat content, use thick onion
Figure 2
SO-311049 LINEA 5qt Slow Cooker IM.indd 6 2013-10-28 9:57 AM

slices under it so that the meat will not sit and cook in the fat. If necessary, use a slice of bread, a spoon,
or a straining spoon to skim off excess fat from top of foods before serving.
• Foods cut into uniform pieces will cook faster and more evenly than foods left whole such as roast or
poultry.
• Always use a meat thermometer to determine if meats have been cooked to proper temperature.
• Root vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, turnips and beets require longer cooking time than many
meats. Place them on the bottom of the Slow Cooker and cover with liquid. Check to see they are forktender when meat temperature is reached. Remove meat and continue cooking vegetables if necessary.
• 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.
