Please read this manual carefully before using this appliance, as correct use will give the best
possible performance. Retain these instructions for future reference.
This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and above and persons
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience and
knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of
the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved. Children shall
not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by
children unless they are older than 8 and supervised. Keep the appliance and its
cord out of the reach of children aged less than 8 years.
Parts of the appliance are liable to get hot during use.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
This appliance is for household use only. Do not use the appliance for other than
the intended use. Do not use the appliance outdoors.
! Allow adequate space above and on all sides for air circulation. Do not allow the appliance to touch
any flammable material during use (such as curtains or wall coverings). Do not use under a wall
cupboard.
! Ensure the appliance is switched off and unplugged from the supply socket after use and before
cleaning.
! Always allow the appliance to cool before cleaning or storing.
! Use extreme caution when moving the appliance when it contains hot food or hot liquids.
! Avoid sudden temperature changes such as adding refrigerated foods into a heated pot.
! Do not use the appliance if it has been dropped or if there are any visible signs of damage.
! Never immerse any part of the appliance or power cord and plug in water or any other liquid.
! Never let the power cord hang over the edge of a work top, touch hot surfaces or become knotted,
trapped or pinched.
! This appliance must not be placed on or near any potentially hot surfaces (such as a gas or electric
hob).
! Do not touch the external surfaces of the appliance during use as they may become very hot. Use
oven gloves or a cloth when removing the lid. Beware of escaping steam when removing the lid.
! Never operate the appliance if it is empty or without the lid fitted or if the lid is cracked or damaged.
! Don’t place the stoneware cooking pot on any surface affected by heat. Always place the pot onto
a trivet or insulated mat.
! Be careful when placing the cooking pot directly onto delicate or polished surfaces because the
base of the pot is unglazed and can cause scratches or other marks. We recommend placing
protective padding under the pot to protect these types of surface.

FITTING A PLUG – U.K. AND IRELAND ONLY
If the plug is not suitable for the socket outlets in your home, it can be removed and replaced by a
plug of the correct type. If the plug is unsuitable, it should be dismantled and removed from the supply
cord and an appropriate plug fitted as detailed below. If you remove the plug it must not be connected
to a 13 amp socket and the plug must be disposed of immediately.

unsure or in doubt about the installation of the plug please contact a
qualified electrician.

BEFORE USING YOUR CROCK-POT® SLOW COOKER
Before first use: Wash, rinse and dry Stoneware Cooking Pot (A) and lid (B). NEVER immerse the
heating unit (C) in water or any other liquid.
IMPORTANT NOTES
• During first use some slight smoke/odour may be detected. This is normal for heated appliances
and will disappear after the first few uses.
• Some countertop and table surfaces are not designed to withstand the prolonged heat generated
by certain appliances. Do not set the heated unit on a surface that may be damaged by heat. We
recommend placing an insulated pad or suitably sized trivet under your slow cooker to prevent
possible damage to the surface.
• Be careful when placing the cooking pot directly onto delicate or polished surfaces because the
base of the pot is unglazed and can cause scratches or other marks. We recommend placing
protective padding under the pot to protect these types of surface.

USING YOUR CROCK-POT® SLOW COOKER
1. Place the stoneware into the heating base, add your ingredients to the stoneware, and cover with
the lid (See Fig. 1).
2. Plug in your Crock-Pot
recipe for precise cook times.
NOTE: Some models feature a Warm setting. Warm is ONLY for keeping already cooked food
warm. DO NOT cook on the Warm setting. We do not recommend using the Warm setting for
more than 4 hours.
3. When cooking is done, unplug your slow cooker and allow it to cool before cleaning.
USAGE NOTES
• If you suspect that the power has gone out, the food inside may be unsafe to eat. If you are
unaware of how long the power was out, we suggest you discard the food inside.
• For recipes that require a range of times, select the mid-range time. For example, for a recipe
calling for a cooking time of 7 to 9 hours on Low, cook for 8 hours.
• To avoid over or under-cooking, always fill the stoneware ½ to ¾ full and conform to
recommended cook times.
• Do not overfill stoneware. To prevent spillover, do not fill stoneware higher than ¾ full.
• Always cook with the lid on for the recommended time. Do not remove the lid during the first two
hours of cooking to allow the heat to build up efficiently.
• Always wear oven mitts when handling the lid or stoneware.
• Unplug when cooking is done and before cleaning.
• Removable stoneware is ovenproof and microwave safe. Do not use removable stoneware on
gas or electric burner or under broiler. Refer to chart below.

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR CROCK-POT® SLOW COOKER
BEFORE MOVING AND CLEANING THE SLOW COOKER
• ALWAYS switch off and unplug from the electrical socket.
• ALWAYS allow the appliance to cool.
NEVER IMMERSE THE HEATING UNIT IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.
HEATING UNIT
DO NOT immerse in water or any other liquid. Clean with a soft cloth which has been dampened with
warm soapy water and wrung out. Dry with a clean dry cloth. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners.
REMOVABLE STONEWARE COOKING POT
The removable Stoneware Cooking Pot (A) and the lid go safely into the dishwasher or may be
washed in hot soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaning compounds – a cloth, sponge or plastic
spatula will usually remove any stubborn residue.
To remove water spots and other stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner or vinegar.
As with any fine ceramic, the Stoneware Cooking Pot will not withstand sudden temperature changes.
• If the Stoneware Cooking Pot has been pre-heated or is hot to the touch, DO NOT add
refrigerated food. DO NOT pre-heat the Crock-Pot® Slow Cooker unless specified in the recipe.
The Stoneware Cooking Pot should be at room temperature before adding hot foods.
• Wash the Stoneware Cooking Pot straight after cooking, use hot water. DO NOT pour in cold
water if the Stoneware Cooking Pot is hot. DO NOT use abrasives or scouring pads or powder.
