BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
1. Carefully unpack your slow cooker and clean, see CARE AND
CLEANING.
2. It is necessary to operate the slow cooker one time before placing
food in the stoneware liner. Pour 4 cups of water into the stoneware
liner and place it inside the cooking base unit. Put lid on.
3. Plug into a 120 V ~ 60 Hz outlet.
4. Turn control knob to high position and allow to heat for approximately 30 minutes. You will notice a slight odor; this is normal and
should quickly disappear.
5. Turn control knob to off position and allow to cool for 20 minutes.
6. Carefully remove the stoneware liner from the cooking base unit and
pour water from the stoneware liner.
7. Rinse stoneware liner, dry thoroughly and place back inside the
cooking base unit.
INTRODUCTION TO SLOW COOKING
Slow cooking occurs at temperatures just around boiling. The slow
cooker can operate at low all day or night if required. When cooking
on a high setting, it is very much like a covered pot on the stove top.
Foods will cook on high in about half the time required for low cooking.
Additional liquid may be required as foods do boil on high. To turn the
Slow Cooker OFF, turn the Control Dial to the OFF position. Always
unplug from electrical outlet when not in use.
NOTE: Lid must not be removed while cooking on LOW
setting.
HOW TO USE THE AUTO FEATURE
The auto feature allows you to prepare meals in less time than it would
take on low, but not as quickly as on high. When set on auto, the slow
cooker begins cooking on high. Once the high temperature is reached,
it then automatically switches to the low setting. When using the auto
temperature setting, you are able to initially heat the food faster, shortening the standard cooking time required for low by approximately
25%.

Page 7
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Prepare recipe according to instructions. Place food in stoneware
liner and cover with the glass lid. Do not fill the stoneware liner to
the brim with food. Always cook with the lid on and the liner in position. Remember that frequent lifting of the lid during cooking delays
cooking time. When cooking a meat and vegetable combination,
place the vegetables in the bottom of the liner first. Then add the
meat and other ingredients. If the liner is hot, DO NOT add cold
food and vice versa. The stoneware liner cannot stand the shock of
sudden temperature changes.
2. Plug into a 120 V ~ 60 Hz outlet.
3. Turn control knob to the desired cooking setting, high, low or auto.
CAUTION: COOKING BASE UNIT WILL GET VERY WARM DURING
COOKING. THIS IS WHERE THE HEATING ELEMENT IS LOCATED.
IF NECESSARY TO HANDLE, USE POT HOLDERS OR OVEN MITTS.
4. Cook according to recipe instructions.
5. When cooking time is complete, turn control knob to off position and
unplug from outlet.
6. Using oven mitts, carefully remove the glass lid by grasping the knob
and lifting the lid slightly away from you. This will allow the steam to
escape before removing the lid.
7. Allow a few seconds for all steam to escape. Then, using oven mitts,
remove the stoneware liner from the cooking base unit.
NOTE: If you are moving the Slow Cooker, grasp the unit by
the Base Unit Handles; use pot holders or oven mitts. (See
Figure 1.)
8. Even when switched OFF and
unplugged, the Slow Cooker remains
hot for some time after using; set aside
and allow unit to cool before cleaning
or storing.
9. Allow to cool completely before cleaning, see CARE AND CLEANING.
Figure 1
HINTS FOR SLOW COOKING
1. Meats will not brown during the cooking process. If you desire
browning, heat a small amount of oil in a skillet and brown meats
prior to putting into stoneware liner.
2. Whole herbs and spices flavor better in slow cooking than crushed
or ground.
7
Page 8
HINTS FOR SLOW COOKING (Cont.)
3. When cooking in a slow cooker, remember that liquids do not boil
away like they do in conventional cooking. Reduce the amount of
liquid in any recipe that is not designed for a slow cooker. The
exceptions to this rule are rice and soups. Remember, liquids can
always be added at a later time if necessary. If a recipe results in too
much liquid at the end of the cooking time, remove the cover and
turn the control knob to high. After about 30-45 minutes the amount
of liquid should be reduced.
4. Most recipes that call for uncooked meat and vegetables require
about 6-8 hours on LOW temperature.
5. High fat meats can result in dishes with less flavor. Pre-cooking or
browning will help reduce the amount of fat and help to preserve the
color. The higher the fat content, the less liquid needed. If cooking
meat with a high fat content, use thick onion slices under it so that
the meat will not sit in and absorb the fat. If necessary, use a slice of
bread, a spoon, or a straining spoon to skim off excess fat from top
of foods before serving.
6. Foods cut into uniform pieces will cook faster and more evenly than
foods left whole such as roast or poultry.
CONVERTING STANDARD RECIPES TO
SLOW COOKING
1. Vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, turnips, and beets require
longer cooking times than most meats. Place them on the bottom of
the stoneware liner and cover them with liquid.
2. If adding fresh milk or yogurt, it should be done during the last 2
hours. Evaporated milk may be added at the start of cooking. If possible, substitute condensed soups for fresh milk or yogurt.
3. Rice and pasta are not recommended for long cooking periods.
Cook them separately and then add to the slow cooker during the
last 30 minutes, or follow slow cooker recipe directions.

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable parts. Do not try to repair it yourself. Any servicing requiring disassembly other than cleaning must be performed by a qualified appliance
repair technician.
CARE AND CLEANING
CAUTION: NEVER IMMERSE COOKING BASE UNIT OR CORD IN
WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.
1. 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.
2. Do not use the stoneware liner to store food in the refrigerator, and
then reheat in the cooking base unit.
3. Avoid hitting the stoneware liner and glass lid against the faucet or
other hard surfaces.
4. Do not use stoneware liner or glass lid if chipped, cracked, or
severely scratched.
5. Always unplug and allow to cool completely before cleaning.
6. Wash stoneware liner and glass lid in warm, soapy water. If food
sticks to the stoneware liner, fill with warm, soapy water and allow to
soak before cleaning with a plastic scouring pad.
7. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
8. Wipe interior and exterior of the cooking base with a soft, slightly
damp cloth or sponge. Never use abrasive cleansers or scouring
pads to clean the cooking base, as they may damage the surfaces.
9. Allow to dry thoroughly before storing. Never wrap the cord tightly
around the appliance; keep it loosely coiled.
