Operating Instructions
1. Prepare recipe according to instructions.
2. Place food into the stoneware pot and cover with glass lid. DO NOT FILL THE POT 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 cooking pot, so ingredients can
come to simmer.
NOTE: When cooking a meat and vegetable combination, place the vegetables in the bottom
of the stoneware pot first. Then add the meat and other ingredients.
NOTE: When cooking on HIGH, keep checking progress, as some soups may come to boil.
Remember that frequent lifting of the lid during cooking delays the cooking time.
WARNING: The stoneware pot CANNOT stand the shock of sudden temperature changes.
If the pot is hot, DO NOT add cold food. Before cooking frozen food, add some warm liquid.
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.

from the base unit. Serve contents. If serving directly from the stoneware pot, always place a trivet
or protective padding under the pot before placing it on a table or countertop.
