WARNING:
According to U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection
Service, to avoid a food-borne illness, foods such as meat, fish, and poultry
should be thoroughly cooked before eating. Before serving these foods,
determine their temperature using a food thermometer (not included).
Refer to the USDA web site for information on food temperature rules.
TEMPERATURE KNOB

According to the preparation of
the food, you can cook using the
LOW (Low cooking setting) or
HIGH (High cooking setting)
positions.

The LOW heat setting gently
simmers food for an extended
period of time without
overcooking or burning. No
stirring is required when using
this setting. It is ideal for
vegetable dishes and for re-
heating food.

The HIGH heat setting will cook
food in half the time required for
the LOW heat setting, as food
will boil when cooked on the
HIGH heat setting. It may be
necessary to add extra liquid,
depending on the recipe and
PRACTICAL ADVICE

In order to prolong the
appliance's lifespan and to
protect the stoneware liner, we
advise you not to create
thermal shocks during use—put
the unit and its parts through
extreme changes in
temperature. For example,
never pour boiling liquid on
cold ingredients or, on the
contrary, never put frozen food
in when the stoneware liner is
hot. As a rule, if the liner is hot,
do NOT add cold or frozen
food and vise versa.

Before cooking frozen food,
please add some warm liquid.
HOW TO USE (cont.)
the amount of time in which it is
cooked. Occasional stirring of
stews and casseroles will improve
the flavor distribution. Food
should be monitored when using
the HIGH setting.

You can also alternate between
the HIGH and LOW setting while
cooking.

Using the KEEP WARM position,
the slow cooker will keep the
food at serving temperature after
cooking: approx. 150°F. DO NOT
USE THIS SETTING TO COOK
FOOD.

Power light will light on when the
temperature knob is set to any of
the three positions: LOW, HIGH or
KEEP WARM.

Never fill the stoneware liner to
the brim as the contents might
spill over during the cooking
process (leave a minimum of 2
inches of space from the top of
the rim)

Do not run the unit consecutively
for more than 8 hours.

DEFROST ANY FROZEN CONTENT
BEFORE COOKING INTO THE
SLOW COOKER.

Remember that frequent lifting
of the lid during cooking will
increase the cook time.
