Pour 4 cups of water into the stoneware and place it inside the base unit. Cover the unit with the glass lid. 3. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet. Three program indicator lights will flash until the unit is programmed. 4. Press the LOW/HIGH/WARM selector button until the HIGH program indicator illuminates. Press the TIME program UP arrow until “0:30” appears on the display. You will notice a slight odor; this is normal and should quickly disappear. 5. After 30 minutes, the Slow Cooker will automatically switch OFF. Unplug the unit and allow it to cool. 6. Wearing oven mitts, grasp the stoneware handles carefully to lift and remove the stoneware from the base unit and pour the water out. 7. Rinse the stoneware, dry thoroughly and place it back in the base unit. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: The stoneware CANNOT stand the shock of sudden temperature changes. If the stoneware is hot, DO NOT add cold food. Before cooking frozen food, add some warm liquid. 1. Place food into the stoneware and cover with the glass lid. DO NOT FILL THE STONEWARE TO THE TOP WITH FOOD. For best results, the Slow Cooker should be at least half-filled. If cooking soups or stews, allow a 2-inch space between the food and the top of the stoneware, so ingredients can come to simmer. When cooking a combination of meats and vegetables, place the vegetables in the bottom then add the meat and other ingredients. 2. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet. The 3 program indicator lights will flash until the unit is programmed. 3. Following recipe instructions, press the LOW/HIGH/WARM selector button until the desired LOW, HIGH or WARM program indicator light illuminates. CAUTION: WARM is not a timed function. It is possible to reheat or keep cooked food warm for an indefinite period of time. 4. Press the TIME program UP arrow until the time display reads “0:30” indicating 30 minutes. Continue to press UP or DOWN arrows until the target cooking time appears on the display. The Slow Cooker can be programmed in half hour increments from “0:30” (30 minutes) to “12:00” (12 hours). After about 2 seconds, the Slow Cooker will begin to heat. 5. The time on the display will begin to count down in minutes until “0:00” is shown. 6. When cooking time completes, the Slow Cooker will automatically switch OFF. 7. Using oven mitts, carefully remove the glass lid by grasping the lid knob and lift the lid slightly away from any people. This allows the steam to escape before removing the lid. 8. Allow a few seconds for all steam to escape. Then, using oven mitts, remove the stoneware from the base nit. Serve contents. If serving directly from the stoneware, always place a trivet or protective padding under the stoneware before placing it on a table or countertop. 9. Unplug from electrical outlet. Allow it to cool completely before cleaning, see CARE AND MAINTENANCE. 10. Even when switched OFF and unplugged, the Slow Cooker remains hot for some time after its use; set it aside and allow the unit to cool before cleaning or storing. *Please take note of the following chart for cooking purposes Setting Max.

Less tender, cheaper cuts of meat are better candidates for slow cooking than more expensive varieties. 2. If meat is fatty, browning them will reduce the amount of fat and help preserve color and add richer flavor. Use a small amount of oil to brown meats in a skillet or broiler. 3. Whole herbs and spices flavor better in slow cooking than crushed or ground. 4. When cooking in the Slow Cooker, remember that liquids do not boil away like they do in conventional cooking. Reduce the amount of liquid in any recipe that is not designed for the Slow Cooker. The exceptions to this rule would be rice and soups. Remember, liquids can always be added later if necessary. If a recipe results in too much liquid at the end of the cooking time, remove the cover and reprogram the Slow Cooker to continue to cook HIGH for 45 minutes. Check every 15 minutes. After about 30-45 minutes the amount of liquid will be reduced. 5. Most recipes that call for uncooked meat and vegetables require about 6-8 hours of cooking on LOW temperature. 6. Foods cut into uniform pieces will cook faster and more evenly than foods left whole such as roast or poultry. 7. Vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, turnips and beets require longer cooking time than many meats. Be sure to place them on the bottom of the Slow Cooker and cover them with liquid. 8. Beans must be softened completely before combining with sugar and acidic foods. Dried beans should be boiled before adding to a recipe. Cover the beans with 3 times their volume of unsalted water and bring to a boil. Boil 10 minutes, reduce heat, cover and allow to simmer 1 . hours or until beans are tender. If necessary, soaking in...
