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 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 using an adaptor. If the plug does not fit, 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 slow cooker. 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.

2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

3. To protect against electrical shock do not immerse cord, plug,

Cooking Modes

No matter what you plan to cook, the Set ‘N Forget®Slow Cooker has three cooking modes to make it easy. Here’s how to choose the one that’s 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!

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.

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 chart, you can estimate the amount of time the food will need to cook.

Visit foodsafety.gov for more information about cooking times and proper internal temperature 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.
