We recommend placing a hot pad or trivet under your Heating Base to prevent damage to the surface. Be certain not to obstruct the vents.
• 25. Always use appliance on a flat, dry, and level surface.
• 26. After cooking, to avoid burns, always use caution and oven mitts when opening the Lid as there may be steam. Always tilt the Lid away from hands and face and allow water to drip into the Insert.

• 36. Glass Lid may shatter if it is exposed to external heat sources or subjected to severe temperature changes.
• 37. KEEP GLASS LID AWAY FROM broiler, microwave oven, hot stovetop burners, heated ovens, and oven heat vents. If glass Lid has been used in any of these locations, do not use it again, even if there are no signs of damage.
• 38. ALWAYS LET THE GLASS LID COOL on a dry, heat-resistant surface before handling. Do not place it on cold or wet surfaces, as this may cause it to crack or shatter.
• 39. When operating the appliance, remove the Spoon Rest. If left in the appliance when operating, it may become too hot to touch.

ELECTRICAL HAZARDS

Failure to abide by these specific instructions may cause electrical shock or a thermal event and could lead to death or serious injury:

• • Always unplug when not in use.
• • Do not use anything other than a 120V–60Hz power outlet.
• • Do not immerse, submerge, or sprinkle product with liquids.
• • Do not insert or remove the plug with wet hands. In order to avoid injuries due to electric shock, make sure hands are dry before plugging and unplugging the unit.
• • Do not use the appliance with wet hands.
• • Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
• • Regularly inspect the appliance before using. Do not use if the cord, plug, or appliance becomes damaged in any way.
• • Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. If any of these occur, call Solution Center at (888) 687-2433 (United States) or (800) 342-2433 (Canada) for assistance.
• • If the plug fits loosely into the outlet, or if the plug or outlet feels warm, do not use that outlet.
• • Do not attempt to make any repairs to this product by yourself. See guarantee at end of this manual for more information.
• • A short power-supply cord is used to reduce the risk resulting from it being grabbed by children, becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord.
• • Do not plug into a power strip or an outlet with another appliance. A grounded socket of 15A or more rated current should be used.

• This unit has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.

• • Persons with various external or implanted medical devices (such as pacemakers, hearing aids, cochlear implants, etc.) should consult with authorized medical professionals before use. Refer to the instructions of medical equipment providers.

DO NOT cook or reheat on the Keep Warm setting. • NOTE: Food can dry out or burn when left on the Keep Warm setting for too long. Check food occasionally when you’re using the Keep Warm setting. • NOTE: We DO NOT recommend using the Keep Warm setting for more than 4 hours.

USE & CARE

• • Use only with the supplied Insert.
• • NOTE: During first few uses of this appliance, you may notice slight smoking and/or an odor. This is normal with many heating appliances and will not happen after a few uses.
• • WARNING: The sides and top rim of the Insert and Heating Base get very warm due to the heating elements.
• Always use oven mitts when moving the Insert or Heating Base.
• • To transport food, ensure the Lid Latches are fully secure and in place. See “To Lock Lid .”
• • When operating the appliance, remove the Spoon Rest. If left in the appliance when operating, it may become too hot to touch.

TO USE

• Before you use your slow cooker, remove all the packaging . Place a clean and dry Insert into the stand. Add food to the Insert as the recipe directs. • Plug in the Heating Base, scroll to the desired setting, and press the Selector Wheel. The time will flash. Turn the Selector Wheel to desired time and press to start cooking. Refer to your specific recipe for more precise cook times. • LOW: Recommended for slow, all-day cooking. • HIGH: One hour on HIGH is equivalent to approximately 1½–2 hours on LOW. • KEEP WARM: ONLY for keeping cooked food at serving temperature until you are ready to eat. • DO NOT cook on the Keep Warm setting. • NOTE: Food can dry out or burn when left on the Keep Warm setting for too long. Check food occasionally when you’re using the Keep Warm setting. • When you’re done cooking, unplug the Heating Base and let it cool before cleaning. To Lock the Lid • Place the Lid on the Insert. • Lift the Lid Latches . Place the Metal Hoops over the Lid Hooks until they catch. See illustration 1. • Press the Lid Latches down until they are snapped into place. See illustration 2. • To unlock the Lid, lift the Lid Latches on both sides and unhook the Metal Hoops from the Lid Hooks. To Use Lid Rest • Grip the Lid Rest attached to the Heating Base and rotate up until it clicks into place. See illustration 3. • Slide the Lid handle over the Lid Rest until seated. • WARNING: Always use oven mitts when handling a hot Lid. Important Usage Tips • Make sure the inside bottom of the Insert is completely covered with food or liquid and there are no dry spots. • Don’t overfill the Insert. To prevent boil-overs and spills, leave enough space between the top of the Insert and the food so that the recipe has room to simmer and without touching the Lid. • Stirring is not usually necessary when slow cooking. Removing the Lid releases lots of heat, so the cook time may need to be extended. However, if you’re cooking on HIGH, you may want to stir occasionally. To make sure your recipe gets up to the right temperature, don’t remove the Lid during the first two hours of cooking. WARNING: Always use an oven mitt when touching a hot Insert, Lid, or Heating Base. Be careful when opening the Lid as there may be steam. • Many recipes call for all-day cooking. If you don’t have time to prepare in the morning, you can do it the night before. Place all ingredients in the Insert, cover it with the Lid, and refrigerate it overnight. In the morning, just place the insert in the Heating Base. You may need to extend the cook time to account for refrigerating the Insert. • Slow cookers allow for very little evaporation, so it’s normal to have more liquid at the end of cooking.

Food Safety Tips

• • For most recipes, seafood, milk, cream, or sour cream should be added toward the end of cooking. Exceptions may apply in Pampered Chef recipes: Always follow the specific recipe directions.
• • If you suspect that the power has gone out during the day, the food may be unsafe to eat. If you’re not sure how long the power was out, discard the food inside.
• • Do not use frozen, uncooked meat in the slow cooker. Thaw any meat or poultry before slow cooking.
• • Never let undercooked or raw meat sit at room temperature in the slow cooker. Once meat is placed into the Insert, it should be cooked immediately (unless you’re prepping and refrigerating food the night before).
