SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
USING YOUR SLOW COOKER – FIRST USE
1. Before using, wash slow cooker pot, cover, and roasting rack (if included) with
warm, soapy water, rinse and dry.
2. Wipe non-stick finish of slow cooker heating base with a damp cloth and dry.
3. Wipe the non-stick finish on inside of cooking pot with a teaspoon of vegetable
cooking oil using a paper towel. This will condition the non-stick finish to prevent
sticking. NOTE: Do NOT use shortening or butter to condition the finish. Leave
a light film of oil on finish. The non-stick finish will need to be reconditioned after
each time the cooking pot is 1) cleaned in an automatic dishwasher; 2) the finish
is treated with a special cleaner; 3) the finish is cleaned with lemon juice or
vinegar to remove a mineral film; or 4) when sticking becomes a problem during
use. DO NOT CONDITION NON-STICK SURFACE OF SLOW COOKER
HEATING BASE BEFORE USING AS A SLOW COOKER. Non-stick finish of
heating base should only be conditioned when it is used as a griddle.
5
Some smoke and/or odor may occur upon heating due to the release of
manufacturing oils – this is normal.
Some expansion/contraction sounds may occur during heating and cooling –
this is normal.
USING YOUR SLOW COOKER – EVERYDAY USE
1. Place heating base on dry, level, heat-resistant surface away from any edge.
2. Place foods into cooking pot, cover and place cooking pot onto heating base. If
you wish to brown or precook any foods before slow cooking, place slow cooker
pot directly on range top unit over medium heat. After foods are browned or
cooked, transfer cooking pot to heating base. NOTE: Use only plastic, rubber,
wooden, or non-metal cooking tools in metal cooking pot. Use of metal cooking
tools will scratch the non-stick surface.
3. Attach cord to base, then plug cord into a 120 volt AC electric outlet only.
4. Slow cooker base offers heat settings of Keep Warm, LO, Med and HI, or will be
numbered 1-5. Heat setting #1 should only be used to warm dinner rolls,
muffins, etc. Heat setting Keep Warm (#2) should only be used to keep cooked
foods warm for serving, whereas LO (#3), Med (#4) and HI (#5) are to be used
for actual cooking of foods. Set dial directly at setting or anywhere between for
complete temperature control. NOTE: DO NOT USE A HEAT SETTING BELOW
LO (#3) FOR ACTUAL COOKING OF RAW FOODS AS THE SLOW COOKER
WILL NOT GET HOT ENOUGH TO COOK FOODS. DO NOT USE THE
GRIDDLE SETTING FOR SLOW COOKING AS OVER COOKING WILL
OCCUR.
Select heat setting and cook food for recommended time as given in recipe. As
a general guideline, most meat and vegetable combinations need 7 to 10 hours
of cooking at LO (#3), 4 to 6 hours of cooking at Med (#4) or 2 to 3 hours of
cooking at HI (#5). Meats will become most tender when cooked for the longer
time at the lower heat setting. Avoid removing cover when slow cooking as
cooking time will be increased due to loss of heat. Remove cover only when
needed to stir occasionally or when adding ingredients.
Do not strike utensils against pot or cover rim. Glass cover may shatter as a
result.
6
CLEANING YOUR SLOW COOKER
1. Allow the entire unit (base, metal cooking pot, rack, cover) to cool completely
before cleaning. Set metal cooking pot and cover on dry, heat-protective surface
for gradual cooling. NOTE: Do not run cold water over hot glass cover as it may
crack or shatter if cooled suddenly.
2. Wipe heating base and cord with a damp cloth.
3. Metal cooking pot, rack, and glass cover may be washed using warm, soapy
water by hand or cleaned in the dishwasher. If dishwasher cleaning, avoid
contact between pieces to prevent damage. The non-stick surface of the
cooking pot must be reconditioned with cooking oil after it is cleaned in a
dishwasher to restore the non-stick properties. The plastic lid (if included) can
also be cleaned in dishwasher, top rack only. Use a non-abrasive cleanser or
baking soda paste to remove stains. Do not use metal scouring pads or
cleansers as damage can occur. Wipe with distilled vinegar to remove water
spots or mineral deposits. Rewash with warm, soapy water, rinse and dry.
Condition Non-Stick Finish: Just before using base as a griddle, condition the non-
stick finish with a teaspoon of cooking oil. Wipe oil evenly over finish, leaving a light
film of oil. DO NOT use shortening or butter to condition finish.
Cleaning Griddle: Always unplug cord from electrical outlet and allow base to cool
completely before cleaning. With a spoon or baster, remove any fat or grease that
has collected on the griddle surface. Wipe oil residue from base with paper towel.
Wipe non-stick finish with a damp, soapy dishcloth or nylon-scouring pad
recommended for non-stick finishes. Clean finish thoroughly, wiping base several
times with a clean, damp cloth to remove soap residue.
If a tacky oil film forms on the non-stick finish of base, wipe with a dry cloth to
remove. If this residue is not removed, it will adhere to the finish when reheated and
become impossible to remove.

CARE AND USE FOR INSULATED CARRYING BAG (IF INCLUDED)
Tips For Safe Use:
Food must be prepared in slow cooker to retain safe serving temperature during
transportation. To help retain this temperature, cover cooking pot with plastic lid
and slow cooker cover, place slow cooker in carrying bag and zip closed as
quickly as possible.
Food must always be properly prepared and thoroughly cooked before placing
slow cooker in insulated carrying bag.
Food should not be kept in insulated carrying bag for more than 2 hours to avoid
food spoilage. This time will be reduced if bag is kept in a cold area.
Always use plastic lid when transporting slow cooker in carrying bag.
DO NOT USE PLASTIC LID FOR COOKING. Plastic lid is designed for use
during transporting and/or storage in refrigerator or freezer ONLY.
Plastic lid does not completely seal cooking pot. Do not overfill cooking pot as
spillage may occur.
When removing plastic lid from heated foods, use care as condensation may
form on underside of lid.
Insulated carrying bag must be completely zipped and carried level to help
reduce leaking or spilling.
Do not put carrying bag or plastic transport cover in any oven.
Do not plug appliance into an electrical outlet while the slow cooker is still in the
carrying bag or has the plastic transport cover on.
To Use:
1. Unzip insulated carrying bag and open cover. Position interior straps with
one to the front and one to the back.
2. Remove cord from slow cooker heating base, fold and place in carrying bag
behind back strap. Don’t forget to include the cord.
3. Remove cooking pot, set on heat-resistant surface. Remove slow cooker
glass cover and carefully place plastic lid onto cooking pot.
4. Place heating base in carrying bag, covered cooking pot on base and slow
cooker glass cover on top of plastic lid.
5. While securing slow cooker cover, carefully lift back strap over covered
slow cooker, being sure to go over top knob of cover if featured on your
slow cooker. Bring front strap up, insert clip in notch of back strap, securing
slow cooker in carrying bag.
6. Close cover and zip bag closed. Bring exterior handles around bag and
secure with Velcro strap.
7. Upon arrival at destination, remove slow cooker from insulated carrying
bag. Remove plastic lid and replace with the glass slow cooker cover.
Plug into electrical outlet and heat at Keep Warm (#2) for serving.
To Clean:
1. Wash plastic lid in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry. Lid can also be
cleaned in dishwasher, top rack only.
2. Wash insulated carrying bag with mild soap and a damp cloth. Wipe clean
and dry completely before storing.

TIPS FOR ADAPTING RECIPES TO SLOW COOKING
Many of your favorite oven and range top recipes can be adapted to slow cooking
with a few minor changes. Here are some important points to remember.
Amount of Liquid: Because little moisture evaporates during slow cooking, reduce
amount of liquid in your recipe by one-half (1 cup of liquid is enough for most
recipes). For soup recipes, add all ingredients except water or broth to pot; add only
enough liquid to cover ingredients.
Amount of Seasoning: Reduce amount of seasoning in proportion to reduced
amount of liquid. Use whole or leaf herbs and spices rather than crushed or ground
forms.
Slow Cooking Meat: Less tender, less expensive cuts of meat are better suited to
slow cooking than expensive cuts of meat. Remove excess fat before slow cooking if
desired. Meat can be browned in the cooking pot on top of the range before slow
cooking.
Slow Cooking Vegetables: Add partially frozen vegetables, Chinese vegetables
and fresh mushrooms during the last hour of cooking. Strong-flavored vegetables
such as spinach, eggplant, okra and collard greens should be precooked before
adding to cooker. The amount of onion normally used in your recipe should be
reduced because its flavor gets stronger during cooking. In most cases, fresh
vegetables take longer to cook than meats because liquid simmers rather than boils.
Slow Cooking Raw Meats and Vegetables: Most raw meat and vegetable
combinations need at least 4 to 6 hours of cooking at Med (#4) or 7 to 10 hours at
LO (#3).
Slow Cooking Fish and Seafood: Fresh or thawed seafood and fish fall apart
during long hours of cooking. Add these ingredients an hour before serving and cook
at HI (#5).
Slow Cooking Milk, Sweet or Sour Cream and Cheese: Because milk, sour or
sweet cream and cheese break down during long hours of cooking, add these
ingredients just before serving or substitute undiluted condensed canned soups or
evaporated milk. Processed cheese tends to give better results than aged cheese.
Rice and Pasta: Rice and pasta may either be cooked separately, or added
uncooked during last hour of cooking time. If added uncooked, make sure there is at
least 1 to 1½ cups of liquid in pot and heat is set at LO (#3) or higher.
Dumplings: Dumplings may be cooked in broth or gravy at HI (#5). Drop by
spoonfuls on simmering broth or gravy. Cook covered for 30 minutes.
Thickening Juices for Gravies and Sauces: To thicken juices for gravies and
sauces, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of quick cooking tapioca at start, or thicken after
cooking by adding a smooth paste made of 2 to 4 tablespoons cornstarch or flour
and ¼ cup cold water. Bring to a boil at HI (#5). Solid foods may be removed first.
Don’t Remove Cover During Cooking: To retain heat, moisture and food flavor,
don’t remove cover during cooking unless necessary for adding additional
ingredients.
Using Cooking Tools on Non-Stick Finish: The following types of cooking tools
may be used on the non-stick finish: plastic, rubber or wooden. Do not use sharp
edged metal cooking tools (forks, knives, mashers) as these could scratch the non-
stick finish.

TIPS FOR ADAPTING RECIPES TO SLOW COOKING CONT.
Using Cooking Pot on Top of Range: The cooking pot (without heating base) can
be used for range top cooking. Place pot on large range unit. Use medium to low
heat. The use of low to medium heat will prevent foods from overcooking, reduce
spattering and help retain natural juices. Do not use high heat except for bringing
liquids to a boil. If cooking on a gas range, do not let flame extend up side of cooking
pot. ALWAYS USE OVEN MITTS WHEN USING COOKING POT AND COVER ON
RANGE UNIT.
When cooking meats, preheat empty cooking pot over medium to medium-low heat
for 2 to 3 minutes or until a drop of water sizzles in cooking pot. To prevent sticking
of lean meats, you may wish to add a small amount of cooking oil. Add meat and
brown as desired. Cover cooking pot and reduce heat to low for cooking on range
top OR transfer cooking pot to heating base and cook at desired setting. The
shortest cooking time will be at HI (#5).
Using Cooking Pot in Oven: The cooking pot (without heating base) can be used in
a conventional or convection oven up to preheated temperatures of 350°F/177°C. If
cooking pot is to be covered, use only glass cover in oven. Do not use a plastic
cover, as damage will occur. Cooking pot may be covered with aluminum foil for
oven use. ALWAYS USE OVEN MITTS WHEN USING COOKING POT IN OVEN.
DO NOT USE METAL COOKING POT IN A MICROWAVE OVEN, OVER A
CAMPFIRE OR UNDER AN OVEN BROILER UNIT TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO
THE COOKING POT OR OVEN.
Using Glass Casserole Cover as a Casserole Dish: (if included, do not use
Plastic Cover) Your slow cooker may have a glass casserole style cover that when
inverted can be used as a 1½-quart casserole dish. The casserole cover may be
used in a conventional or convection oven up to preheated temperatures of
400°F/205°C, or in a microwave oven. Do not use cover under a broiler or browning
unit or in a toaster oven. NOTE: to prevent damage to cover, property damage, or
personal injury, do not use glass cover on range top unit as it could shatter due to
sudden temperature change.
Using Roasting Rack (if included): Your slow cooker may include a small wire
roasting rack for use in roasting meat and poultry. To use rack, simply place into
bottom of cooking pot and place roast, chicken or ham onto rack. Add a small
amount of liquid to cooking pot before cooking. If you wish, the meat can be browned
in cooking pot on top of range before roasting. The rack can also be used for
steaming fresh vegetables such as broccoli and corn-on-the-cob. Add 1 cup of water
to cooking pot to steam vegetables. Cook on top of range over medium to medium-
low heat or on heating base at HI (#5) to desired doneness.
Bread, Cakes & Desserts: For oval shaped slow cooker use a 8 x 4-inch loaf pan;
for oblong shaped slow cooker use a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. To prevent condensation
from dripping onto food while baking, place double layer of paper toweling and single
layer of aluminum foil across top of cooking pot. Cover and bake according to recipe.
