Auto Cook Mode

The Auto Cook Mode automatically times and cooks your meal using a temperature probe. The pre-set meat options and digital thermometer ensure perfect results, regardless of variables that can effect cook time such as unit starting temperature, fresh or frozen food, food size or ingredients. Smart-Set™ slow cooker automatically switches to the WARM setting when cooking is done so that your meal stays

WARM

until it is served. Use this mode when taste is your top concern, as it was designed to produce optimal results every time.

CAUTION:

1. Plug the temperature probe cord into the temperature probe jack on the heating base.

2. Insert the temperature probe into the thickest piece of meat or center of dish without touching any bone or fat.

• The notch in the stoneware allows the lid to close when temperature

probe is plugged in.

NOTE: If the probe is removed from the temperature probe jack during

programming or cooking, the Auto Cook Mode must be reset. The slow cooker will beep and display PROB OUT until the temperature probe cord is plugged back into the temperature probe jack.

3. Press the AUTO button to cycle through and select pre-set meat options from BEEF, POUL (poultry), PRK1 (bone-in pork), PRK2 (boneless pork), CHIL (chili), or STEW.

4. Press the TEMP button to select LOW or HIGH.

• WARM is ONLY for keeping already cooked food at the perfect serving

temperature . DO NOT cook on the WARM setting.

5. Press the START/STOP button to start cooking.

• The upper display shows the pre-set meat selection, the lower

display shows the internal temperature of the food, and the corresponding temperature selection illuminates.

• When the internal temperature of the meat reaches the safe

temperature, the slow cooker beeps once, the upper display shows “SIMR,” and the lower display counts down additional cooking time until the food reaches its optimal taste.

• When the cook time expires, the slow cooker beeps twice, and the

temperature shifts to WARM. The upper display shows WARM and the lower display is off.

CARE AND CLEANING

CAUTION:

TROUBLESHOOTING

• ALWAYS turn your slow cooker off, unplug it from the electrical outlet, and allow it to cool before cleaning.

• The lid and stoneware can be washed in the dishwasher or with hot, soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaning compounds or scouring pads. A cloth, sponge, or rubber spatula will usually remove the residue. To remove water spots and other stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner or vinegar.

• As with any fine ceramic, the stoneware will not withstand sudden temperature changes. Do not wash the stoneware with cold water when it is hot.

• The outside of the heating base may be cleaned with a soft cloth and WARM, soapy water. Wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

• The temperature probe can be washed in WARM, soapy water and wiped dry.

• The temperature probe housing is removable for cleaning. Simply slide housing up to remove.

• The housing is dishwasher safe (top rack only), or can be washed in WARM, soapy water and wiped dry.

CAUTION: Never immerse the heating base in water or other liquid.

• No other servicing should be performed.

COOKING HINTS AND TIPS

PASTA AND RICE

• For best rice results, use long grain converted rice or a specialty rice as the recipe suggests. If the rice is not cooked completely after the suggested time, add an extra 1 to 1 rice and continue cooking for 20 to 30 minutes.

• For best pasta results, first partially cook the pasta in a pot of boiling water until just tender. Add the pasta to the Smart-Set™ slow cooker during the last 30 minutes of cook time.

BEANS

• Beans must be softened completely before combining with sugar and/ or acidic foods. Sugar and acid have a hardening effect on beans and will prevent softening.

• Dried beans, especially red kidney beans, should be boiled before adding to a recipe.

• Fully cooked canned beans may be used as a substitute for dried beans.

VEGETABLES

• Many vegetables benefit from slow cooking and are able to develop their full flavor. They tend not to overcook in your slow cooker as they might in your oven or on your stovetop.

• When cooking recipes with vegetables and meat, place vegetables in slow cooker before meat. Vegetables usually cook slower than meat in the slow cooker.

• Place vegetables near the sides or bottom of the stoneware to facilitate cooking.

HERBS AND SPICES

• Fresh herbs add flavor and color, but should be added at the end of the cooking cycle as the flavor will dissipate over long cook times.

• Ground and/or dried herbs and spices work well in slow cooking and may be added at the beginning.

• The flavor power of all herbs and spices can vary greatly depending on their particular strength and shelf life. Use herbs sparingly, taste at end of cook cycle and adjust seasonings just before serving.

MILK

• Milk, cream, and sour cream break down during extended cooking. When possible, add during the last 15 to 30 minutes of cooking.

• Condensed soups may be substituted for milk and can cook for extended times.

cups of liquid per cup of cooked

SOUPS

• Some soup recipes call for large amounts of water. Add other soup ingredients to the slow cooker first then add water only to cover. If thinner soup is desired, add more liquid at serving time.

MEATS

• Trim fat, rinse well, and pat meat dry with paper towels.

• Browning meat in a separate skillet or broiler allows fat to be drained off before slow cooking and also adds greater depth of flavor.

• Meat should be positioned so that it rests in the stoneware without touching the lid.

• For smaller or larger cuts of meat, alter the amount of vegetables or potatoes so that the stoneware is always

full.

• The size of the meat and the recommended cook times are just estimates and can vary depending upon the specific cut, type, and bone structure. Lean meats such as chicken or pork tenderloin tend to cook faster than meats with more connective tissue and fat such as beef chuck or pork shoulder. Cooking meat on the bone versus boneless will increase required cook times.

• Cut meat into smaller pieces when cooking with precooked foods such as beans or fruit, or light vegetables such as mushrooms, diced onion, eggplant, or finely minced vegetables. This enables all food to cook at the same rate.

• When cooking frozen meats, at least 1 cup of warm liquid must first be added. The liquid will act as a “cushion” to prevent sudden temperature changes. An additional 4 hours on LOW or 2 hours on HIGH is typically required. For larger cuts of frozen meat, it may take much longer to defrost and tenderize.

FISH

• Fish cooks quickly and should be added at the end of the cooking cycle during last fifteen minutes to hour of cooking.

LIQUID

• For best results and to prevent food from drying or burning, always ensure an adequate amount of liquid is used in the recipe.

• Ensure the stoneware is always filled a minimum of maximum of

full, and conform to recommended cook times.
