IMPORTANT INFORMATION
• The stoneware pot gets hot. When in use, always use oven mitts or potholders
when touching any outer or inner surface of the appliance
• If there is a power outage 2 hours or less, the slow cooker will resume cooking and
continue for the remaining amount of time programmed. If the power was out longer
than 2 hours the time will flash "----" to indicate that the food should be discarded. If
you are not sure how long the slow cooker has been off, discard the food.
• During first few minutes of use you may notice smoke and a slight odor. This is
caused by oil that may have been used during manufacturing of the unit and will
not impact the performance.
• Do not add cold food if the stoneware pot is hot, and
vice versa. The stoneware material is not meant to handle
sudden changes in temperature.
• Ensure that the rubber gasket is installed when using
the slow cooker. The locking mechanism will not seal
properly without the rubber gasket.
• When installing the rubber gasket make sure that the seal is
oriented downwards. (A)
