7. 6. Portable Slow Cooker Use and Care Guide
Auto Setting
The AUTO feature allows you to prepare meals in less time than it
would take on LOW, but not as quickly as on HIGH. When set on
AUTO, the Slow Cooker begins cooking on HIGH. Once the HIGH
temperature is reached, it then automatically switches to the LOW
setting. When using the AUTO temperature setting, you are able to
initially heat the food faster, shortening the standard cooking time
required for LOW by approximately 25%.
Using Your Portable Slow Cooker
1. Prepare recipe according to instructions. Place food in Removable
Stoneware Liner and cover with Glass Lid. Do not fill the
Removable Stoneware Liner to the brim with food. Always cook
with the Glass Lid on and the Removable Stoneware Liner in
position. Remember that frequent lifting of the Lid during
cooking delays cooking time. When cooking a meat and vegetable
combination, place the vegetables in the bottom of the Removable
Stoneware Liner first. Then add the meat and other ingredients. If
the Removable Stoneware Liner is hot, DO NOT add cold food
and vice versa. The Removable Stoneware Liner cannot stand the
shock of sudden temperature changes.
NOTE: Make sure the Handles are lowered to the sides of the
Cooking Base during cooking.
2. Follow the instructions for setting the retractable cord to the
proper length in the Before First Use section of this manual.
When cord is straightened and at the proper length, plug the Slow
Cooker into a 120V ~ 60 Hz electrical outlet.
3. Turn Control Knob to the desired cooking setting, LOW, HIGH,
or AUTO. The Power Indicator Light will illuminate.
4. Cook according to recipe instructions.
5. When cooking time is complete, turn
Control Knob to the OFF position
and unplug from outlet. The Power
Indicator Light will shut off. Pull cord away
from the unit and allow the cord to retract
into the cord storage area.
6. Your Slow Cooker is now ready to transport.
Simply lift both Handles to the carry position.
Notice that both Lid Levers will pivot over the
top of the Glass Lid to hold it in place. The
top of the Handles are magnetized to keep
the handles in the carry position securely.
7. Your Portable Slow Cooker has a
Cool-Touch Exterior/Base and a
retractable cord that makes it so easy
to transport. Use either the Carry-In
Handles on the top of the unit, or
comfortable Base Handles to
transport the Slow Cooker from your
kitchen to another location.
8. When food is ready to be served, turn
the Control Knob to OFF and unplug
from outlet. Retract the cord.
9. Make sure Handles are lowered to the sides of the Base. Using
oven mitts, carefully remove the Glass Lid by grasping the Knob
and lifting the Lid slightly away from you. This will allow the steam
to escape before removing the Lid.
10. Allow a few seconds for all steam to escape. Then, using oven mitts,
remove the Removable Stoneware Liner from the Cooking Base.
11. Allow to cool completely before cleaning, see CLEANING YOUR
SLOW COOKER.
