1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

2.

Check that your mains voltage corresponds to that stated on the
rating plate of the appliance before using the appliance.

3.

Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

4. To protect against electric shock do not immerse cord, plugs, the
appliance or its control panel in water or other liquid.

5. Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used by or
near children.

6.

Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or
after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any
manner. Return appliance to the nearest authorized service
facility for examination, repair, or adjustment.

7. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to
cool before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning
the appliance.

8. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

POLARIZED PLUG INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit
into the polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not properly
fit into the outlet at first, reverse it. If it still does not fit, contact a
competent qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in

any way.

SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS

A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting
from becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord.
Extension cords may be used if care is exercised in their use.

• The electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least

that of the appliance. If the electrical rating of the extension
cord is too low, it could overheat and burn.

• The resulting extended cord should be arranged so that it will

not hung over the counter top or tabletop where it can be
pulled on by children or tripped over.

OPERATION

• After having unpacked the appliance, clean the crock pot and
the lid in soapy water, rinse and dry thoroughly.

• When it is first switched on, the heating parts may smell and emit
some smoke. This is normal; the grease that may have adhered to
the element during manufacture is burning off. We therefore
recommend for the first time that you heat up the appliance for
about 10 minutes without any food (ventilate the room during this
period) and shut the appliance down for it to cool.

• Prepare your recipes directly in the crock.

• Put the lid on the crock.

• Always make sure the temperature knob is in "0" position.

• Insert the plug in an earthed power socket, 120V, UL type.

• Select the desired temperature and let the preparation cook

slowly.

• If you use an extension cord, compare its characteristics with the
ones of the appliance (see rating plate) and check its
compatibility.

• You can either serve the preparation in the crock or transfer it in
another receptacle. When taking the crock out of the aluminum
pan, use potholders or a cloth to grasp the handles, particularly if
you are sensitive to heat.

• Always let the appliance cool down before cleaning or storing it.

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 consuming
them. 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.

TEMPERATURE SELECTOR

• According to the preparation you can select position LOW (Low
cooking setting) or position HIGH (High cooking setting).

• 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. Ideal for vegetable dishes and re-heating.

• Although the fast cooking setting accelerates the preparation, it
remains slow compared to a classical cooking mode and your
preparation may simmer gently to allow 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 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 settings for the first couplee of hours
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. 150°F. Do not
use this setting to cook food.

PRACTICAL ADVICE

• In order to prolong the appliance's lifespan and to protect the
crock, we advise you not to create thermal shocks during use. For
example, never pour boiling liquid on cold ingredients or on the
contrary, never put frozen food in a hot preparation.

• Never fill the crock to the brim as the preparation might flow over
during the cooking process (leave up minimum 2 inches space to
the rim)

• Do not use for more than 8 hours consecutively.

• Defrost any frozen content before cooking into the slow cooker.

COOKING WITH YOUR SLOW COOKER

Contrary to classical cooking modes, your appliance does not heat
the food from below but only the sides of the appliance are heating
and the heat is spread over the whole recipient. This way the food
does not stick to the bottom of the receptacle 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 the evening before, refrigerated in the removable
crockery 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 cooker,
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

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.
