Consumer Safety Information

THIS APPLIANCE IS INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety
feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit
fully in the outlet, reverse the plug.

If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this
safety feature.

1. Always keep the Slow Cooker unplugged when it is not in use or without inner
pot or the inner pot is empty.

2. Do not place the Slow Cooker in any place that is unstable, humid, near fire or
any heat sources to prevent any accident or malfunctions.

3. To protect against electric shock, do not immerse the cooking body in water or
any liquid. Do not pour any liquid into cooking body without inner pot in it.

4. To reduce the risk of electric shock, cook only in the removable container.

5. Always cook with the lid on, for the recommended time.

6. A short power-supply cord is to be provided to reduce the risk resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

7. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and
may be used if care is exercised in their use.

8. If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used.

(1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at

least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance,

(2) The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or

tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Prepare recipe according to instructions.

2. Place prepared food into the removable ceramic pot and cover with glass

cover.

3. Plug the unit into wall outlet. The digital display will blink “- - - -”.

4. Press “low/high/warm” button to select desired temperature.

Note: this unit has a Stand-by mode, where the display will blink “_ _ _”.

5. Set cooking time. Time can be set from 30 minutes to 10 hours in 30 minute

increments.

6. Once the cooking cycle is finished, the unit switches to stand-by mode for 10

minutes. After 10 minutes the unit automatically switches to “keep warm”
mode. The default time for “keep warm” is 10 hours. Finally, the slow cooker will
switch back to stand-by mode.

7. To stop heating during cooking, press the “low/high/warm” button until none of

the temperature lights are lit (stand-by mode), the display will blink the time for
a few seconds and then blink “_ _ _”.

8. Cooking times differ by the amount of ingredients, room temperature and

many other factors. Adjust the cooking time in reference to the final result.
Repeatedly removing the glass cover will decrease the temperature in the
ceramic pot.

9. Lift the glass cover away from you carefully. Note: steam trapped under the

glass cover is hot and can burn.

10. When finished, unplug unit from the wall outlet.

11. Let ceramic pot and glass cover cool completely before washing.

12. The sides of the metal housing and the ceramic pot on the slow cooker get

very hot. Use oven mitts or potholders to remove the ceramic pot.

13. The removable ceramic pot can be used for serving the meal at the table.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

1. The removable inner pot goes safely into the dishwasher, or may be washed
in hot soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaning compounds, use a cloth,
sponge or rubber spatula. To remove water spots and other stains, use a
non- abrasive cleaner or vinegar.

2. Wipe the cooking body with a soft cloth. Never use abrasive cleaners.

3. As with any fine ceramic, the stoneware bowl will not withstand the shock of
sudden temperature changes.

4. If the ceramic pot has been preheated or is hot, do not put cold foods in it. Do
not preheat the Slow Cooker before using unless specified in the recipe. The
ceramic pot should be at room temperature before adding hot foods.

5. To wash your ceramic pot right after cooking, use hot water. Do not pour in cold
water if the ceramic pot is hot.
