Before using your Slow Cooker the first time, clean the entire appliance according to 
the cleaning instructions. 

1.  Place heating base on dry, level, heat-resistant surface, away from any edge. 
2.  Place foods into ceramic cooking vessel, cover and place into heating base. (If 

you wish to brown or precook any foods before slow cooking, this must be done 
in a different ceramic cooking vessel on top of the range). Never place ceramic 
cooking vessel on top of range, as it will break from direct contact with 
heat

. 

3.  With heat control set at “OFF,” plug the cord into a 120 volt, AC electric outlet 

  

4.  Set heat control to “LOW” or “HIGH” and cook for the time recommended in the 

recipe. As a general guideline, most meat and vegetable combinations need 8 to 
10 hours of cooking at “LOW,” or 4 to 6 hours at “HIGH.” Do not cook foods at 
“Warm” setting, as temperature is not hot enough to cook foods. Use 
“Warm” setting only to keep hot, cooked food warm for serving.

 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. Always lift the cover slowly, directing the steam away from you. 

5.  After the food is cooked, reduce the heat to “Warm” for serving or turn control to 

“OFF.” Unplug the cord from the electric outlet after use. Allow the appliance to 
cool completely before cleaning. 

 

•  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.
