Cool Touch Slow Cooker
This product is intended for household
use only.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized
plug. This type of plug has one blade wider
than the other. The plug will fit into an electrical outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug
into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If
the plug should still fail to fit, contact an
electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.
Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose
of the polarized plug.

immerse cord, plug, or base in water or
other liquid.

appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and
before cleaning. Allow to cool before

Consumer Safety Information
To avoid an electrical circuit overload do not
use a high wattage appliance on the same
circuit with the slow cooker.
This appliance has a short cord to reduce
the hazards of becoming entangled or
tripping over a longer cord. An extension
cord may be used if electrical rating of
extension cord is equal to or greater than
the rating of the slow cooker. Use only
an extension cord rated 10 amperes or
greater. Care must be taken to arrange
extension cord so that it will not drape over
a countertop or tabletop where it can be
tripped over or pulled on by children.

Cooking in a slow cooker is easy but
different from conventional methods.
Take a few minutes and read “How to
Use” and “Tips for Slow Cooking.”
Then try some of the recipes in the
recipe book included with your slow
cooker.
You’ll soon be convinced that a slow
cooker is a necessity. There are also
many slow cooker recipe books available in the library or book store. If you
have any questions, call our toll-free
customer service number. We’ll be glad
to help.
If You’ve NEVER Used a Slow Cooker
You are probably ready to develop new
recipes for use in your slow cooker. If
the recipe was originally cooked in a
saucepan on the stovetop, or slow
roasted in the oven, adapting the recipe
should be easy.
Our slow cooker heats from the sides.
The Base slowly raises the temperature
If You’ve Used a Slow Cooker Before
of the Crock. Whether cooked on Low
or High, the final temperature of the
food is the same, about 200°F. The
only difference is the amount of time
the cooking process takes. Read the
section on “Adapting Recipes” for more
information.
