USING YOUR Slow COOKER
This slow cooker has four cooking functions and two serving
functions. The serving functions, Buffet and Warm, are not
intended to cook food. Only use the Buffet and Warm functions for
foods that have already been cooked and heated up.
Cooking with Your Siow Cooker
1 Prepare the ingredients per your recipe. Traditional recipes
can also be used in a slow cooker by extending the cook
times. Due to the low temperatures, foods rarely over cook in
a slow cooker so ensure that the food has ample time to cook.
WARNING
Never piece frozen meat or pouitry in the siow cooker.
Make sure any meat and pouitry is compieteiy thawed
before piecing in the siow cooker.
WARNING
Never turn on the siow cooker whiie it is empty. This may
cause the ceramic vessei to crack.
Place ingredients into the ceramic vessel and cover with
the glass lid. Leave the lid in place for the remainder of the
cooking time. Lifting the lid during cooking will allow heat to
escape so 30 minutes should be added to the cook time if
the lid is opened during cooking.
Plug the unit into a proper eilectrical outlet. The control
panel will light up, beep, and then show four dashes to
indicate that the unit is in standby.
Press the High, Med, Low, or Soup button to select the
desired cooking function. Please see the "Recommended
Cooking Times" section for reference.
The default time for the selected cooking function will be
displayed. Pressing the CookTime button will increase the
time by 30 minute intervals. Once the maximum time is
reached, the time will cycle back and start at 30 minutes.
Pressing and holding the CookTime button will scroll
through the time at a faster rate.

button to begin cooking. The timer will begin counting down
in one minute increments.
7 During the cooking cycle, the time may be increased by
pressing the Cook Time button. The time will increase from
the current time to the next 30 minute interval and then it
will increase in 30 minute intervals each time the CookTime
button is pressed.

changed. To change the cooking function, press the On/Off
button and then select the desired cooking function. Adjust
