SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards of entanglement or tripping. Longer
detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in
their use. If a longer detachable power-supply extension cord is used:
1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the
electrical rating of the appliance.
2. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can
be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
LINE CORD SAFETY TIPS
1. Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.
2. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.
3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.
4. Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are found, this indicates
that the appliance should be serviced and the line cord replaced. Please return it to an authorized
service representative.
5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress on the cord
where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.
DO NOT OPERATE APPLIANCE IF THE LINE CORD SHOWS ANY DAMAGE OR IF APPLIANCE
WORKS INTERMITTENTLY OR STOPS WORKING ENTIRELY.
CAUTION: To ensure continued protection against risk of electric shock, connect to properly grounded
outlets only.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
How to use your Slow Cooker
Using a slow cooker is simple, but different from conventional cooking. To help you, this
manual contains many helpful hints for successful slow cooking. Slow cooker resources
are available online or in cookbooks. Keep these materials handy whether preparing your
favorite recipes or trying something new.
A general rule of thumb for most slow cooker meat-and-vegetable combos is:
Cooking Time in Recipes Recommended Temperature Setting
8-10 Hours Low
4-6 Hours High
Other favorite recipes may be adapted to the slow cooker. All times listed in the following
chart are approximate and should serve only as cooking guidelines.
Regular Cooking Time Slow Cooker Cooking Time
Low High
30 Minutes 6-8 Hours 3-4 Hours
35-60 Minutes 8-10 Hours 5-6 Hours
1-3 Hours 10-12 Hours 7-8 Hours
1. Place the Stoneware Insert into the Electric Base, add your ingredients and cover with
the Lid.
2. Plug in your slow cooker and select the desired temperature setting.
• Low is recommended for slow "all-day" cooking.
• One hour on High is equivalent to approximately 1.5 to 2 hours on Low.
• Refer to your specific recipe for more precise cook times.
• Warm is ONLY for keeping already cooked food at the perfect serving temperature
until you are ready to eat. DO NOT cook on the Warm setting.
NOTE: We do not recommend using the Warm setting for more than 4 hours.
3. When cooking is done, unplug your slow cooker and allow it to cool before cleaning.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
LOCKING LID FEATURE
Your slow cooker comes with a suction seal Locking Lid. This feature ensures the safe
and leak-proof transporting of your food. Do not lock the slow cooker during the cooking
process.
• Lock the Lid when you have completed cooking and want to transport your Stoneware
Insert without worrying about leaking or spilling.
• Start with the Sliding Lid Locks in the opened position.
• Place the Lid onto the Stoneware Insert.
• Use one hand to gently push down on the Lid. Use your other hand to push both
Sliding Lid Locks, one at a time, inwards and into the locked position.
CAUTION: When removing the Lid, grasp the Lid Knob on the center of the Lid and lift
to allow steam to escape before setting cover aside. To avoid burns, always hold cover so
that escaping steam flows away from hands and face.
COOKING SAFEGUARDS
• If you suspect that the power has gone out during the day, the food may be unsafe to
eat. If you are unaware of how long the power was out, we suggest you discard the
food inside.
• To avoid over or under-cooking, always fill the Stoneware Insert 1/2 to 3/4 full to
conform to recommended cook times.
• To prevent spillover, do not fill Stoneware Insert higher than 3/4 full.
• Always cook with the Lid on for the recommended time. Do not remove the Lid during
the first two hours of cooking.
• Always wear oven mitts when handling the Lid or the Stoneware Insert.
• Unplug when cooking is done, and before cleaning.
• The removable Stoneware Insert is ovenproof and microwave safe. Do not use
removable Stoneware Insert on gas or electric burner or under broiler. Refer to
