feature, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully
into the outlet, reverse it and try again. If it still does not fit, contact an electrician Do not
attempt to defeat this safety feature.
TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW
This appliance is equipped with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent removal of the
bottom cover. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not attempt to remove the
bottom cover. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Repair should be done only
by authorized service personnel.
ELECTRICAL CORD
The cord of this appliance was selected to reduce the possibility of tangling in or
tripping over a longer cord. If more length is needed, use an Underwriters Laboratories
(UL)-Listed, NOM, or appropriate agency-approved extension cord rated no less than 15amperes and 120 volts or 6 amperes 220 volts. When using an extension cord, do not let
it drape over the working area or dangle where someone could accidentally trip over it.

USING THE STONEWARE BOWL & LID
IMPORTANT: All glass and glass ceramic materials are BREAKABLE. Always handle the
Stoneware Bowl and Lid carefully. Avoid hitting them against a faucet or other hard
surface. Accidental breakage from impact is not covered by the warranty. For maximum
benefit from the Stoneware Bowl and Lid, follow these tips:
• To avoid damage to the interior of the Stoneware Bowl, always use utensils made of
plastic, rubber, or wood. DO NOT use metal utensils, as they may leave grey marks or
may scratch the cookware.
• Do not touch the sides of the Slow Cooker Base while food is cooking. Always use
potholders or oven mitts when removing the Lid or the Stoneware Bowl from the Base
after cooking. To avoid burns from escaping steam, tilt the Lid away from your hands
and face when removing it.
• Do not set the Stoneware Bowl directly on a countertop or table; use a trivet or
hot pad.
• Do not pour cold water into a hot Stoneware Bowl. Avoid sudden temperature
changes, such as adding refrigerated foods into a heated Bowl. NEVER heat the
Stoneware Bowl when it is empty.
• Keep the Lid away from a broiler, microwave browning element, toaster oven coils, hot
stovetop burners, oven heat vents or any other direct heat source. DO NOT PLACE A
HOT LID on cold or wet surfaces, as this may cause it to crack or shatter.
• If the Lid becomes chipped or cracked, do not use it. Discard it and get a
replacement. Damaged items may break without warning.
HOW TO USE
Using a Slow Cooker is easy but different from conventional cooking. Follow the
recommended guidelines in this book. Times listed in each
recipe are approximate and should serve only as guidelines.
1. Follow the recipe by filling the Bowl with food and
ingredients. Place the Bowl into the Base, cover it with the
Lid, and plug the unit in.
2. Turn the Control Dial to Auto or High and note the time the
Cooker started (A).
3. Be sure to turn the Control Dial to Off after cooking.
CLEANING & STORAGE:
1. Unplug the unit and allow it to cool before cleaning.
2. Wash the Stoneware Bowl and Lid in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry. If food
sticks to the surface, fill the Bowl with warm, soapy water and let it soak for a while
before cleaning. If scouring is necessary, use a nylon pad or brush with liquid
detergent or non-abrasive cleanser. Both the Bowl and Lid are also dishwasher-safe.
3. Wipe the Base with a soft, damp cloth or sponge. NEVER IMMERSE THE BASE IN
WATER.
4. Be sure all parts are clean, cool, and dry before storing. Store the unit in a clean, dry
place. Use the cord wrap at the bottom of the Base to store the cord.
TIPS
1. For best results, always use the Cooker at least 1/2 full. But don’t over-fill more than
3/4 (12 cups total), or about 2-inches from the top rim.

How To Use – English
2. Never store foods in the Stoneware Bowl in the refrigerator overnight. It will take too
long to heat the Bowl up before the food starts cooking.
3. When cooking on Hi, remove the Lid occasionally and stir ingredients for more even
cooking. Use Hi for shorter cooking times, and when you plan to be at home.
4. Use the Auto setting for longer cooking times (7 – 8 hours), and when you won’t be
home. On this setting, the Slow Cooker starts out at a high temperature and then
automatically reduces to a lower temperature after about 2 hours.
5. Longer cooking times may evaporate some of the liquid and may make some foods
taste dry (like a pot roast allowed to cook more than 8 hours). Check and stir so food
doesn’t stick/burn onto the bottom of the Bowl.
6. Soups are great in a Slow Cooker—they can simmer, blend flavors, and tenderize
dried beans and meats. You may have to add liquid (broth, milk, water) to thin soup or
stew prior to serving.
7. To keep foods warm after cooking, turn the Control Dial to the Keeps Warm setting. To
avoid drying out foods, do not keep foods on this setting for more than 2 hours. Do not
reheat food in the slow cooker.
8. The Lid on the Stoneware Bowl does not have a tight fit. You may see some spattering
and condensation on the Lid.
Recipes & Tips
The recipes included here have been designed to work in this 4-quart (3.8L) slow cooker.
Use them as a reference to adapt your own favorite soup, stew, and chili recipes. When
adapting recipes, be sure to add enough liquid to keep foods moist.
1. You can cook roasts and hams up to 4 pounds (1,816 g) in this Slow Cooker. Foods cut
into smaller pieces will cook faster than whole roasts.
2. Do NOT cook whole poultry in this Cooker.
3. Use tough cuts of meat for slow cooking; they’re less expensive, need longer cooking
time, and have more moisture than tender cuts.
4. Skim off fat before serving sauces. To thicken sauce, transfer it to a saucepan and
heat on a range top. Mix 1 - 2 tablespoons (15-30 ml) of all-purpose flour with a little
water, then add it to the sauce. Stir until the sauce thickens.
