Consumer Safety Information
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.
wWARNING
Shock Hazard
• Do not immerse this appliance in water or other liquid.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electrical
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.

To Program Your Slow Cooker
Program Mode
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 the PROGRAM Mode.
Input your preferred amount of cooking
time and the slow cooker automatically
shifts to Keep 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 —
Have you cooked a recipe on the
stovetop or in the oven and wish
to keep the food warm?
Use the MANUAL Mode.
Lets you select traditional High, Low
and Keep Warm settings.
Are you cooking a large cut of
meat or using a recipe that
requires food to reach a certain
temperature?
Use the 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.
You select the desired internal food
temperature and the slow cooker will
automatically shift to keep warm once
the temperature is reached. So you
don’t have to worry about overcooked
or undercooked food making its way to
your table. By using the Cooking Guide
on page 7, you can estimate the
amount of time the food will
need to cook.

• Foods will continue to increase in
temperature after desired temperature
has been reached.
• The stoneware should be at least
half-filled for best results. If only
half-filled, check for doneness 1 to 2
hours earlier than recipe.
• Stirring is not necessary when slow
cooking and removing the 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 space between the top of the
stoneware 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 the
stoneware, cover and refrigerate
overnight. In the morning, simply place
the stoneware in the slow cooker.
Tips for Slow Cooking
• Do not use frozen, uncooked meat in
the slow cooker. Thaw any meat or
poultry before slow cooking.
• Some foods are not suited for extended cooking in the slow cooker. Pasta,
seafood, milk, cream, or sour cream
should be added 2 hours before serving. Evaporated milk or condensed
soups are perfect for the slow cooker.
• The higher the fat content of the meat,
the less liquid is needed. If cooking
meat with a high fat content, place thick
onion slices underneath so the meat will
not sit on (and cook in) the fat.
• Slow cookers allow for very little evap-
oration. If making your favorite soup,
stew, or sauce, reduce the liquid called
for in the 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
the crock

Care and Cleaning
1. Press the OFF button to turn unit off.
Unplug cord from outlet.
2. Remove Stoneware and Glass Lid
from Base and let cool.
3. Wash Stoneware and Glass Lid in hot,
soapy water. Rinse and dry. They
may also be washed in dishwasher.
4. Wipe the Base/Control Panel with a
damp cloth. Do not use abrasive
cleansers.
When removing the Glass Lid, tilt so that the opening
faces away from you to avoid being burned by steam.
The sides of the Base of the slow cooker get very warm
because the heating elements are located there. Use the
handles on the Base if necessary. Use hot mitts to remove
the Stoneware.
Removing Glass Lid and Stoneware
• Handle the Stoneware and Glass Lid
with care to ensure long life.
• Avoid sudden, extreme temperature
changes. For example, do not place a
hot Stoneware and Glass Lid into cold
water, or onto a wet surface.
• Avoid Stoneware and Glass Lid
coming in contact with OR bumping
against a faucet or other hard surfaces.
• Do not use Stoneware and Glass Lid if
chipped, cracked, or severely
scratched.
• Do not use abrasive cleansers or metal
scouring pads.
Caring for the Slow Cooker
• The bottom of the Stoneware is very
rough and can damage the countertop. Use caution.
• The Stoneware and Glass Lid can
become very hot. Use caution. Do not
place directly on any unprotected surface or countertop.
• The Stoneware is microwave safe
and oven proof, but never heat the
Stoneware when empty. Never place
the Stoneware on a burner or stove top.
• Do not place the Glass Lid in a
microwave oven, conventional oven, or
on the stove top.
Cleaning the Slow Cooker
1. Do not touch the stainless steel
probe with bare hands during or just
after cooking as the probe will be hot.
2. Never immerse probe and probe wire
in water.
3. After probe is cool, wipe probe han-
dle and probe with a damp cloth or
sponge. Dry thoroughly.
4. Wrap wire around probe handle and
press plug into
hole in handle
for storage.

Troubleshooting
There is no display visible on the control panel.
• 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.
• Power interruption of 7 seconds or longer.
I can’t program the current time on the control panel.
• There is no “clock” feature on this slow cooker, only a countdown timer.
Food is undercooked.
• Was food cooked on the Keep Warm setting? Do Not cook on Keep Warm;
always cook on Low or High heat settings.
• Was power interrupted (due to brownout, electrical storm, etc.) for
7 seconds or longer?
NOTE: For a power interruption of 7 seconds or less, your Hamilton Beach
slow cooker will remember your programmed heat and time settings.
• Did you select the Low heat setting, but use a cooking time based on the
High heat setting?
• Did you have the Glass Lid placed correctly on the slow cooker?
The food isn’t done after cooking the amount of time recommended
in my recipe.
• 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, it can alter the 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 needed.
My meal was overcooked. Why?
• 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.

Troubleshooting
I pressed the OFF button by mistake. What do I do now?
• Press the ON/OFF button, choose desired MODE and program as desired.
I want to cancel the cooking cycle because the food is done.
• Press the OFF button if food is ready to serve.
What is the maximum time for cooking? For Keep Warm?
• 14 hours is the maximum amount of time that can be programmed for this
slow cooker.
EXAMPLES:
– 8 hours of programmed cooking time provides 6 hours of Keep Warm
– 14 hours of programmed cooking time provides NO Keep Warm time; the
slow cooker will automatically shut off at the end of the 14 hour cook cycle
– 14 hours of Keep Warm for food that has already been thoroughly cooked
I set the cooking time and now I want to change it. Can I?
• No. Press the ON/OFF button, choose desired MODE and program as
desired.
My slow cooker boils. Is it suppose to boil?
• Yes. Your slow cooker has been specially designed to cook raw foods
thoroughly (such as potatoes and carrots) as well as reach an internal food
temperature for desired doneness.
