Other Consumer Safety Information
This product is intended for household use only.
This product is only intended for the preparation, cooking, and
serving of foods. This product is not intended for use with any
nonfood materials or products.
WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug
(one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The
plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or
by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician
replace the outlet.
CROCK AND LID: PRECAUTIONS AND INFORMATION
• Please handle crock and lid carefully to ensure long life.
• Avoid sudden, extreme temperature changes. For example,
do not place a hot lid or crock into cold water, or onto a wet
surface.
• Avoid hitting crock or lid against faucet or other hard
surfaces.
• Do not use crock or lid if chipped, cracked, or severely
scratched.
• Do not use abrasive cleansers or metal scouring pads.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to
reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over
a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved
extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the
extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of
the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension
cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped
over.
• The bottom of the crock is very rough and can damage the
countertop. Use caution.
• The crock and lid can become very hot. Use caution. Do not
place directly on any unprotected surface or countertop.
• The crock is microwave-safe and oven-proof, but never heat
crock when empty. Never place lid on a burner or stove top.
Do not place lid in a microwave oven, conventional oven, or
on stove top.
REMOVING LID AND CROCK
When removing lid, tilt so that opening faces away from you
to avoid being burned by steam.

The sides of the slow cooker’s base get very warm because
the heating elements are located here. Use handles on base if
necessary. Use oven mitts to remove crock.

Introduction
No more dry, mushy slow-cooked meals. The IntelliTime™ slow cooker automatically adjusts the heat to prevent overcooking. Most slow
cooker recipes call for a 6- to 8-hour cook time, but many working families are out of the house for 10 or more hours a day. With the
IntelliTime slow cooker, food is finished precisely when you want, even up to 12 hours later.
The IntelliTime slow cooker has two modes of cooking—IntelliTime mode and Manual mode. The IntelliTime mode ramps heat up quickly
or slowly based on the number of hours you want to cook, from 4 hours to 12 hours. When the cooking time has ended, it shifts to
WARM for 4 hours. It is ideal for cooking large meats, meat and vegetable combinations, or long-cooking soups and stews. The Manual
mode is the traditional way of slow cooking with heat settings of WARM, LOW, MEDIUM, and HIGH. Choose the Manual mode for foods
with cooking times of less than 4 hours or recipes such as desserts and egg dishes.
How to Use IntelliTime Mode
INTELLITIME: Choose cooking time from 4 hours to 12 hours in 30-minute increments. In this mode, the slow cooker automatically adjusts
the heat to the hours selected.
Examples of Common IntelliTime Settings
Choose your starting time in the left column. Look across the top to choose a serve time. Your IntelliTime setting is the number of hours at
the point where the two intersect.

Tips for Slow Cooking
• The crock should be at least half-filled for best results. If only
half-filled, foods may cook faster.
• Stirring is not necessary when slow cooking. Removing glass
lid results in major heat loss and the cooking time may need to
be extended.
• If cooking soups or stews, leave a 1-inch (2.5-cm) space between
the lid and the food so that the recipe can come to a simmer.
• Many recipes call for cooking all day. If your morning schedule
doesn’t allow time to prepare a recipe, do it the night before.
Place all ingredients in crock, cover with lid, and refrigerate
overnight. In the morning, simply place crock in slow cooker.
• When choosing recipes for this slow cooker, look for recipes
that call for cooking time on HIGH 4 to 5 hours or LOW 6 to 8
hours. Recipes calling for less cooking time should be checked
periodically for doneness.
Food Safety Tips
• Do not use frozen, uncooked meat in the slow cooker. Thaw any
meat or poultry before slow cooking.
• Visit www.foodsafety.gov for more information on safe internal
cooking temperatures.
• To store leftovers after cooking, do NOT place the entire crock in the
refrigerator since contents will take too long to cool. Instead, divide
leftovers into smaller containers and place into refrigerator.
• Some foods are not suited for extended cooking in a slow cooker.
Pasta, seafood, milk, cream, or sour cream should be added 2
hours before serving. Evaporated milk or condensed soups are
perfect for slow cooking.
• The higher the fat content of meat, the less liquid is needed. If
cooking meat with a high fat content, place thick onion slices
underneath so meat will not sit on (and cook in) fat.
• Slow cookers allow for very little evaporation. If making your
favorite soup, stew, or sauce, reduce liquid called for in original
recipe. If too thick, liquid can be added later.
• If cooking a vegetable-type casserole, there will need to be liquid
in the recipe to prevent scorching on the sides of the crock.
• Never allow undercooked or raw meat to sit at room temperature
in the slow cooker. Once meat is placed into the crock, it should be
cooked immediately (unless prepping slow cooker the night before,
where crock should be placed into the refrigerator).
IF YOU LIVE IN A HIGH-ALTITUDE AREA:
The Extension service will have detailed information about cooking
for your area. To locate the Cooperative Extension service in your
county, please visit: http://www.csrees.usda.gov/Extension/.

Troubleshooting
PROBLEM
Food is undercooked.
My meal was
overcooked. Why?
PROBABLE CAUSE
• Was food cooked on the Warm setting? Do not cook on Warm.
• Was power interrupted?
• Did the slow cooker cook for the complete time selected? Select HIGH or the 4-hour setting
to add more time to the recipe.
• Recipe had too much liquid.
• Crock was overfilled.
• Did you have the lid placed correctly on the slow cooker?
• Was the crock at least half full? The slow cooker has been designed to thoroughly cook food
in a filled crock. If the crock is only half-filled, foods may cook faster. Check for doneness
periodically.
• Foods will continue to increase in temperature after desired temperature has been reached.
