Note: You may adjust the time during the cooking cycle by pressing the arrows. After
3 seconds of no buttons being pressed, the numbers will stop flashing and the new
amount of time for cooking will begin.
End of cooking cycle: When time is up, the unit will beep three times and
automatically switch to Keep Warm. The light for "warm" will go on and the numbers
will start counting up from zero (00:00) to 4 hours (04:00).
6. After the Keep Warm cycle has been on for 4 hours, the unit will power off and
return to the default display: "----".
Note: Do not keep foods on the warm setting for more than 4 hours.
• Unplug the appliance when not in use and always allow the slow cooker to
completely cool before cleaning.
SLOW COOKING GENERAL TIPS
• The stoneware pot should always be filled from ½ to 3⁄ 4 full, to avoid over and
under cooking.
• Always slow cook with the lid on.
- Open the lid as little as possible to assure even cooking. Every time the lid is
removed, the cooking time increases by 15–20 minutes.
• Most recipes can be cooked on either HIGH or LOW. Many recipes will give the
time for both.
-Low: Often used for longer cooking times, 8–10 hours, for tougher cuts of meat.
- High: Cooking on high setting is similar to a covered pot on the stove top.
Foods will cook on high in about half the time required for low cooking.
Additional liquid may be required as foods can boil on high.
- Warm: Only use to keep cooked foods at a food-safe serving temperature and
should not be used to cook foods. It is not recommended to use "Warm" for
more than 4 hours.
SLOW COOKING MEATS
• The higher the fat content, the less liquid needed. Also, place thickly sliced
onions under fattier meat to keep it above the drippings.
• Browning before cooking in the slow cooker is not necessary; however,
browning meats, lightly coated in flour gives more body and flavor to sauces.
• Make sure top of meat does not touch the lid.
• Cooking times will vary depending upon the size of the meat, the bones and
the cut. Meat with bone-in will take longer to cook. Lean meats and poultry
will cook faster.
• Use HIGH for more tender cuts of meat; use LOW for tougher cuts.
• Always thoroughly thaw meats before cooking them in the slow cooker.
• Fish cooks quickly; add it for the last 15 minutes.
