• Glass is breakable. Care should be taken not to drop or impact the glass cover. If
the cover breaks, it will do so in many pieces. Avoid or discard any foodstuffs
exposed to broken cover.
• Be extremely cautious of steam when removing cover. Lift cover slowly, directing
steam away from you.
• Set metal cooking vessel and cover on hot pad, trivet or other heat protective
surface. Do not set directly on the counter, table or other surface.
• Do not heat covered and empty cooking vessel on top of range. If preheating of
cooking vessel is necessary, preheat without cover on.
• Do not allow covered vessel to boil dry on top of range unit.
• Do not set glass cover on hot burner or on oven heat vent. Sudden temperature
change may cause the cover to crack or shatter.
• Do not set hot cover on cold or wet surface; let cover cool before placing in water.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
Please check all packaging material carefully before discarding. Accessory parts
may be contained within the packaging material.
Before using, wash cooking vessel and covers with warm, soapy water, rinse and dry.
Wipe non-stick finish of slow cooker heating base with a damp cloth and dry.
USING YOUR SLOW COOKER
1. Place heating base on dry, level, heat-resistant surface away from any edge.
2. Place foods into cooking vessel, cover and place cooking vessel onto heating
base. If you wish to brown or precook any foods before slow cooking, place
cooking vessel directly on range top unit over medium heat. After foods are
browned or cooked, transfer cooking vessel to heating base. NOTE: Use only
plastic, rubber, wooden, or non-metal cooking tools in metal cooking vessel. 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 “WARM,” “LOW,” “MEDIUM,” “HIGH,”
and “GRIDDLE.” Heat setting “WARM” should only be used to keep cooked foods
warm for serving, whereas “LOW”, “MEDIUM” and “HIGH” 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 “LOW” 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 - OVERCOOKING 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 “LOW”, 4 to 6 hours of cooking at “MEDIUM” or 2 to 3 hours of
cooking at “HIGH”. 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.
• 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.
