Introduction To Slow Cooking
Slow cooking occurs at temperatures just around boiling. The Programmable Slow Cooker can operate at
LOW all day or night if required. When cooking on a HIGH setting, it is very much like 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 do boil on HIGH. To turn the Slow Cooker OFF, press the POWER button.
Always unplug from electrical outlet when not in use.
Before Using for the First Time
1. Carefully unpack your Programmable Slow Cooker and clean, see CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS.
2. It is necessary to operate the Slow Cooker one time before placing food in the stoneware pot.
Pour 4 cups of water into the stoneware pot and place it inside the base unit. Cover with the
glass lid.
3. Plug into a 120 V AC outlet. "88:88" will flash on the screen, press POWER once and the LOW
program indicator illuminates and the unit goes into LOW cooking mode for a default time of 8
hours. If the POWER button is not pressed during the first minute the screen will flash ":" till the
POWER button is pressed or the unit is unplugged.
4. Press the MODE button until the HIGH program indicator light illuminates. Use the (+) or (-) buttons
to select "0:30" on the time display. The Slow Cooker will begin to heat in 2 seconds.
NOTE: You will notice a slight odor; this is normal and should quickly disappear.
5. When the cooking time expires (00:00), the unit will automatically go into keep warm mode
for 4 hours and the WARM indicator will illuminate.
NOTE: Press the POWER button any time to turn the Programmable Slow Cooker OFF.
6. Wearing oven mitts, grasp the pot handles carefully to lift and remove the stoneware pot from
the base unit; pour out the water from the stoneware pot.
