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. Cooking on HIGH is very much like cooking in 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.
When cooking is complete, food can be kept on WARM for short periods of time. To turn the Slow Cooker OFF,
turn the control dial to the OFF position. Always unplug from electrical outlet when not in use.

Before Using for the First Time

1. Carefully unpack your Slow Cooker and clean, see CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS.
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 base unit. Cover with the glass lid.
3. Plug into a 120 V AC outlet.
4. Turn the control dial to the 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 dial to OFF position and allow to cool for 20 minutes.
6. Wearing oven mitts, grasp the liner handles carefully to lift and remove the stoneware liner from the base
unit; pour out the water from the stoneware liner.
7. Rinse stoneware liner, dry thoroughly and replace inside the base unit.

Operating Instructions

1. Prepare recipe according to instructions.
2. Place food into the stoneware liner and cover with glass lid. DO NOT FILL THE LINER TO THE TOP WITH
FOOD. Remember that frequent lifting of the lid during cooking delays the cooking time. When cooking a
meat and vegetable combination, place the vegetables in the bottom of the stoneware liner first. Then add
the meat and other ingredients.
WARNING: The stoneware liner CANNOT stand the shock of sudden temperature changes. If the liner is
hot, DO NOT add cold food. Before cooking frozen food, add some warm liquid.
3. Plug cord into a 120 V AC outlet.
