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 non-food 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.

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.

Cooking Modes

No matter what you plan to cook, the Set ’N Forget®slow cooker has three cooking modes to make it easy. Here is how to choose the one that is right for your lifestyle and the food you’re cooking.

Will you be away when your food is finished cooking?

Use PROGRAM Mode. Input preferred amount of cooking time and the slow cooker automatically shifts to WARM at the end of the selected cooking time. Food won’t overcook!

Are you cooking a large cut of meat or using a recipe that requires food to reach a certain temperature?

Use PROBE Mode. For many foods, especially large cuts of meat like roasts, chicken, turkey, and pork, internal food temperature is the best test for doneness. The temperature probe with this slow cooker takes the guesswork out of slow cooking. Select the desired internal food temperature and the slow cooker will automatically shift to WARM once the temperature is reached. By using the Cooking Guide for Probe, you can estimate the amount of time the food will need to cook. Visit foodsafety.gov for more information about cooking times.

Do you want to cook the traditional way without setting a time?

— OR —

Do you want to heat previously cooked food?

Use MANUAL Mode. Lets you select traditional HIGH or LOW settings.

Do you want to keep previously cooked food warm? (For instance, moving slow cooker from kitchen to buffet table.)

Use the PROBE Mode. Once food reaches desired temperature, you can select the WARM setting to monitor food temperature.

Use the MANUAL Mode. Lets you select WARM setting. Use the PROGRAM Mode. Lets you select WARM setting.

The slow cooker will shut off after desired time.

Tips for Slow Cooking

• The crock should be at least half-filled for best results. If only halffilled, check for doneness 1 to 2 hours earlier than recipe time.

• Stirring is not necessary when slow cooking. Removing glass lid results in major heat loss and the cooking time may need to be extended. However, if cooking on High, you may want to stir occasionally.

• If cooking soups or stews, leave a 2-inch (5-cm) space between the top of the crock 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.

• 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 crock.

• If cooking a recipe with root vegetables, place root vegetables in the bottom of the crock.

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.

• 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/.

PROBLEM

There is no display visible on the control panel.

Food is undercooked.

The food isn’t done after cooking the amount of time recommended in my recipe.

My meal was overcooked. Why?

Gasket is/has flattened or food seeps from under gasket.

PROBABLE CAUSE

• Is the unit plugged in?

• Is the unit turned on? Display should flash SEL.

• Test that the electrical outlet is working with a lamp in known working order.

• Was power interrupted (due to brownout, electrical storm, etc.) for 5 seconds or longer?

• Was food cooked on the WARM setting? Do not cook on WARM setting; always cook on LOW or HIGH heat settings.

• Was power interrupted (due to brownout, electrical storm, etc.) for 5 seconds or longer? NOTE: For a power interruption of 5 seconds or less, the slow cooker will remember the programmed heat and time settings.

• Did you select the LOW heat setting, but used a cooking time based on the HIGH heat setting?

• Did you have the glass lid placed correctly on the slow cooker?

• This can be due to voltage variations (which are commonplace everywhere) or altitude. The slight fluctuations in power do not have a noticeable effect on most appliances. However, they can alter cooking times in the slow cooker by extending the cooking times. Allow sufficient time and select the appropriate heat setting. You will learn through experience if the shorter or longer time is needed.

• 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, check for doneness 1 to 2 hours earlier than recipe time.

• Did you select hours based on a LOW heat recipe?

• Foods will continue to increase in temperature after desired temperature has been reached.

• Clips are for transportation purposes only. Do NOT use clips during cooking or storage.
