NOTE: A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Longer power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is
exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used: (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should
be at least as great as the electrical rating of the product; (2) the extension cord should
be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can
unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over by children or pets.

If this appliance is equipped with a

polarized plug

(one blade is wider than the other),

please follow the below instructions:

To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet
only one way. If you are unable to fit the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the plug with
an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted into the extension cord. Do not
alter the plug of the product or any extension cord being used with this product. Do not
attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

COOKING:

 Place the base on a dry, level, heat resistant surface, away from the edge of the table

surface. Do not use on the floor.

 Place food and other ingredients into the ceramic pot, and place the pot into the

base.

 Cover with the glass lid. If you need to pre-cook or brown foods prior to slow

cooking, this must be done in a pan. Do not try to brown or pre-cook food in the
slow cooker.

 Plug cord into a 120V AC outlet. Press the Power button; the screen will illuminate

and the numbers will start to blink until the unit is programmed.

 Press the Mode selector button until the desired Low, High, or Warm program is

selected. Then cook according to the recipe.
NOTE: Warm is not a timed function. It is possible to reheat or keep cooked food
warm for an indefinite period of time.

 Press the + or – buttons to set the cooking time. The slow cooker can be

programmed in half hour (30 minute) increments. After 5 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 slow
cooker will heat by default for a time of 8 hours in Low setting and 4 hours in High.
NOTE: Press the Power button at any time to turn the slow cooker off.

 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 potholders or oven mitts when moving or
handling the unit.

 When cooking time is complete, the slow cooker will automatically switch off.
 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.

 Allow a few seconds for all the steam to escape. Inspect and test food for doneness

and adjust seasoning if needed. Then, using oven mitts, remove the stoneware pot
from the base unit. Serve contents.
NOTE: 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.

 Press the Mode button until Warm is selected. The slow cooker will warm by default

for 2 hours. After 2 hours the slow cooker will automatically turn off.
NOTE: Press the Power button at any time to turn the slow cooker off.

 Unplug from electrical outlet. Allow to cool completely before cleaning. (See

Cleaning Instruction).
NOTE: If you are moving the slow cooker, grasp the unit by the base unit handles;
use potholders or oven mitts.
