Salton, Inc 4-Quart Oval Slow Cooker MAXSC4W - Manual (Page 4)

Before Using Your Slow Cooker For The First Time
■ Carefully unpack the Slow Cooker.
■ Wash stoneware liner and glass lid in warm, soapy water.
Rinse well and dry thoroughly.
■ Wipe interior and exterior surfaces of the base unit
with a soft, moist cloth to remove dust particles collected
during packing and handling. NEVER IMMERSE THE BASE
UNIT IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.
■ It is necessary to operate the Slow Cooker once before initial use.
After cleaning the Slow Cooker, place stoneware liner inside the
base unit, then pour 2
2 cups of water inside the stoneware liner
and cover with glass lid. Plug Slow Cooker into electrical wall
outlet and set control dial to HIGH. Allow Slow Cooker to operate
for approximately 30 minutes. You will notice a slight odor; this is
normal and should quickly disappear.
After 30 minutes, turn control dial to OFF and unplug from
electrical wall outlet. Allow to cool for about 20 minutes, then
uncover, remove stoneware liner from the base unit and pour out
water. Rinse the stoneware liner, dry thoroughly and place it back
inside the base unit.
Introduction To Slow Cooking
Slow cooking occurs at temperatures just around boiling point. Since
liquids do not boil very quickly at this temperature, there is just a
little steam and evaporation, foods do not stick and virtually no
stirring is required.
The Slow Cooker can operate on LOW all day and night if required.
When cooking on HIGH, it is very much like a covered pot on the
stove top. Foods will cook in two-thirds the time required for
LOW cooking. Additional liquid may be required as foods DO
boil on HIGH.
NOTE: Lid must not be removed while cooking on
LOW setting.
