PARTS DESCRIPTION
See page 2-3.
INTRODUCTION TO SLOW COOKING
Slow cooking occurs at temperatures around boiling point. The slow
cooker is designed to operate all day or all night if required, on the LOW
position. Food will cook on HIGH in about half the time required with the
LOW setting. Additional liquid may be required as food boils on the high
setting. Always unplug the appliance when not in use.

BEFORE THE FIRST USE
Carefully unpack your slow cooker and clean it according to the
instructions outlined in the “CLEANING AND CARE” section of the
manual.
It is necessary to operate the slow cooker once before placing food
in the stoneware liner. Place the unit on a heat resistant surface. Pour
4 cups of water into the stoneware liner and place it into the base
unit. Cover with the glass lid.
Turn the set Heat to “High” position, and allow heating for
approximately 30 minutes. You may notice a slight odor; this is normal
and will quickly diminish.
Turn the control to OFF and allow the unit to cool for 20 minutes.
While wearing oven mitts, grab the stoneware liner by its handles to
carefully lift it and remove it from the base unit. Pour the water out
from the stoneware liner.
Rinse the stoneware liner, dry it thoroughly, and replace into the base
unit.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Prepare the ingredients to be slow cooked directly in the stoneware
liner.
Note: Do not fill the liner to the top with food.
Put the lid on the stoneware liner.
Place the slow cooker on a flat, level, and heat-resistant surface.
Insert the plug in a grounded power socket, 120V, UL type.
To begin cooking, press the “START/STOP” button once.
To set the COOKING TIME, press the COOKING TIME button first, then
press the UP or DOWN arrows to reach your desired time. Each press
of the arrow will increase or decrease the time set in 30-minute
intervals. When you have set the cooking time, press the
HIGH/LOW/WARM button to select the desired cooking mode. For
example, if you want to cook on HIGH mode, press the button once,
then the light for HIGH mode will be flashing (press twice for LOW,
thrice for WARM, etc.). The cooking mode will be confirmed
automatically after 5 seconds. The appliance will then start cooking
and the cooking time on the control panel will start to count down.
8
www.KALORIK.com
SC 41175 - 170120
To set the DELAY TIME, press the DELAY TIME button first, then press the
UP or DOWN arrow to reach your desired delay time. You must now
set your desired cooking time as previously outlined. Press the
COOKING TIME button and adjust your desired cooking time by
pressing the UP or DOWN arrow. After DELAY AND COOKING TIME are
set, select your desired cooking mode with the HIGH/LOW/WARM
button and the delay time will start to countdown.
The maximum amount of time that you can set the timer for is 16
hours. The minimum time is 30 minutes.
When cooking is complete, press the “START/STOP” button and
unplug the power cord from the power outlet.
Note: If you do not press the “Start/Stop” button at the end of the
cooking time, the unit will automatically shift to the “Keep Warm” mode
for up to 6 hours. After 6 hours, the unit will switch off automatically.
Using oven mitts, carefully lift the lid away from you, using its knob to
allow steam to escape.
You can either serve the prepared meal from the crock pot or
transfer it into another serving piece. When taking the stoneware liner
out of the aluminum pan, use oven mitts to grasp the handles,
particularly if you are sensitive to heat. Always grasp the liner by its
handles using oven mitts.
Always let the appliance cool down before cleaning or storing it.
Even when turned off and unplugged, the Slow Cooker will remain
hot for some time after use.
WARNING:
According to U.S. Department of Agriculture, Food Safety and Inspection
Service, to avoid food-borne illnesses, foods such as meat, fish, and
poultry should be thoroughly cooked before consumption. Before
consuming, determine the temperature of the foods using a food
thermometer (not included). Refer to the USDA web site for information
on food temperature rules.

SC 41175 - 170120
TEMPERATURE SELECTOR
In accordance with the recipe that you are using, you can select
different heat modes: LOW (Low cooking setting), HIGH (High
cooking setting) or KEEP WARM.
The LOW heat setting gently simmers food for an extended period of
time without overcooking or burning. No stirring is required when
using this setting. It is ideal for vegetable dishes.
Although the HIGH setting accelerates cooking, it remains slow when
compared to a classic cooking mode. Your food may simmer gently,
allowing the ingredients to give off their flavor. The HIGH heat setting
will cook food in half the time required for the LOW heat setting. As
food will nearly boil when cooked on the HIGH heat setting, it may be
necessary to add extra liquid, depending on the recipe and the
amount of time in which it is cooked. Occasional stirring of stews and
casseroles will improve the flavor distribution. Food should be
monitored when using the high setting, just like cooking in a pot with
a lid on.
You can also use the HIGH setting for the first couples of hours of
cooking and then switch back to the LOW setting for the remainder
of the cooking.
Using the KEEP WARM position, the slow cooker will keep the food at
serving temperature after cooking, at approx. 75°C/165°F. Do not use
this setting to cook food.
PRACTICAL ADVICE
To prolong the appliance's lifespan and to protect the crock pot, we
advise you not to create thermal shocks during use. For example,
never pour boiling liquid on cold ingredients. On the contrary, never
put frozen food in a hot preparation. As a rule, if the liner is hot, do
NOT add cold or frozen food.
Before cooking frozen food, please add some warm liquid.
Never fill the stoneware liner to the brim as the preparation might
overflow during the cooking process (leave a minimum of 2 inches of
space to the rim)
Do not use for more than 16 hours consecutively.
Defrost frozen ingredients before adding them to the slow cooker.
10
www.KALORIK.com
SC 41175 - 170120
Remember that frequent lifting of the lid during cooking will allow
heat to escape, thereby increase the required cooking time.
When cooking a meat and vegetable combination, place the
vegetables at the bottom of the stoneware liner first, and then add
the meat and other ingredients.
Meat will not brown when slow cooking. If you wish to brown the
meat, do so in a separate cooking pan before putting in the slow
cooker.
Whole herbs and spices have a better flavor than if crushed or
ground.
Remember that liquids do not boil away in a slow cooker like they
would do in a normal pan. Reduce the amount of liquids if following
a recipe not specifically written for slow cooking. Exceptions to this
rule are soups and rice. If a recipe results in too much liquid, remove
the cover and turn the appliance to the HIGH setting.
Most recipes that call for uncooked meat or vegetables will require
about 6-8 hours slow cooking time on the LOW setting.
Meat with a high fat content will result in dishes with fewer flavors.
Pre-cooking or browning these meats will help reduce the amount of
fat. The higher the fat content, the smaller the amount of water is
needed. If cooking meat with a high fat content, cook on a bed of
thick onion slices so that the meat will not sit and cook in the fat. If
necessary, skim off the excess fat from the top of the food, using a
spoon, before serving.
Food cut in small (or medium) uniform pieces will cook more evenly
and faster than if left whole (poultry, roasts)
Rice, noodles, pasta, and creams are not recommended to cook for
extended periods of time. Please cook separately and add to the
preparation 30 minutes before the end of the cooking time.
DO NOT SWITCH THE COOKER ON WHEN THE CERAMIC POT IS EMPTY
OR OUT OF THE BASE!
Never leave uncooked food at room temperature in the slow cooker.
Do not use the slow cooker to reheat food.
The slow cooker must be at least half full for best results.
Many recipes demand all day cooking. If you do not have time to
prepare food in the morning, prepare it the night before and store
the food in a covered container in the refrigerator. Transfer the food
to the crock pot and add liquid/gravy. Select the required setting.
11
www.KALORIK.com
SC 41175 - 170120
Remember: All solid food should be covered with a liquid, gravy, or
sauce.
COOKING WITH YOUR SLOW COOKER
Contrary to classical cooking methods, your appliance does not heat
food from below, but rather from the sides. The walls of the appliance
are heated and the heat is spread over the whole unit. This way the food
does not stick to the bottom of the container and may thus cook for a
long time.
All preparations that need slow cooking, i.e. to "simmer", can be made
with the slow cooker, but other preparations may be adapted to this
cooking mode.
As most food is cooked over period of 6-9 hours, it can be prepared in
advance, refrigerated in the removable crock pot, placed in the slow
cooker, and switched on in the morning and left to cook all day. When
you arrive home, a delicious, hot meal will await you.
The guide below will help simplify the process of slow cooking, allowing
you to obtain ultimate satisfaction from your slow cooker.
It’s all in the timing!
Always allow sufficient time for the food to cook. It is almost impossible to
overcook in the slow cooker, particularly when using the LOW setting.
Most recipes can be cooked on any one of the temperature settings;
however, the cooking times will vary accordingly.
Adapting cooking times
Your favorite traditional recipes can be adapted easily, by halving the
amount of liquid and increasing the cooking time considerably. See the
guide that follows for suggested cooking times and settings when
adjusting your favorite recipes.
Traditional Recipe Time: Slow Cooker Recipe Time:
15-30 minutes 4-6 hours on LOW heat setting
60 minutes 6-8 hours on LOW heat setting
1-3 hours 8-12 hours on LOW heat setting
12
www.KALORIK.com
SC 41175 - 170120
NOTE! These times are approximate. Times can vary depending on
ingredients and quantities in recipes.
All food should be cooked with the glass lid well in place. Each time the
lid is lifted, both the heat and moisture are decreasing. Cooking times
should be adjusted by to accommodate this factor.
Liquid amounts
When food is cooking in your slow cooker, very little moisture boils away.
To compensate this, it is advisable to halve the liquid content of
traditional recipes.
However, if after cooking the liquid content is excessive, remove the lid
and operate the slow cooker on the High heat setting for 30-45 minutes
or until the liquid reduces by the desirable amount.
Stirring the food
Little or no stirring is required when using the LOW or KEEP WARM setting.
When using the HIGH heat setting, stirring ensures even flavor
distribution.

LOCKING LID
This Stay or Go Slow Cooker offers thoughtful features that make traveling
with your food to a potluck or holiday party a breeze. The clip-locked lid
has a tight seal for spill-resistant travel. It makes carrying your dish to and
from the party very easy. Always hold the slow cooker by its side handles
when moving the appliance!
To unlock, simply press on the red button on the top handle of the lid.
CLEANING AND CARE
Always switch to the off position, unplug the appliance, and wait for
it to cool down before cleaning it.
Remove the lid and take the stoneware liner out using the handles.
Wash them in hot, soapy water. You can also immerse them in water,
but never use scouring pads to clean them. Rinse thoroughly. Be
gentle with the locking clips.
To clean the glass lid, we recommend to take the black gasket off
the glass lid and fill it back after cleaning as shown below:
Press the red button on the
lid handle to release and
open the locking clips.
Push back the clips in
position to lock them and

14
www.KALORIK.com
SC 41175 - 170120
Note: To prevent spills, please ensure that the black gasket fits firmly and
snuggly around the glass lid before use.
Do not allow the pot to stand in water for a long time (You can leave
water in the pot to soak). There is an area on the base of the ceramic
pot that has to remain unglazed for manufacturing purposes. This
unglazed area is porous, therefore will soak up water. This should be
avoided.
The stoneware liner can also be washed in the dishwasher. However,
care should be taken not to chip or crack the stoneware liner.
Wipe the inside of the aluminum pan and the body of the appliance
with a damp sponge. Never immerse in water. Never put them in the
dishwasher.
Never immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid. Never fill
the stoneware liner with water to clean it when it is still in the
aluminum pan.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Avoid sudden, extreme temperature changes. For example, do not
place a hot glass lid or stoneware liner into cold water or onto a wet
surface.
Do not put the ceramic pot or glass lid in an oven, freezer,
microwave, or on a gas/electrical hob.
Do not use the stoneware liner to store food in the refrigerator, and
then reheat in the base unit. The sudden temperature change may
crack the liner. Let the stoneware liner warm up at room temperature
for 40 minutes before using with the base unit.
Avoid hard shocks against the liner and lid.
Do not put the glass lid in the refrigerator, otherwise it may crack.
Do not use if liner or lid are chipped, cracked or severely scratched.
