Food Safety Tips

• Do not use frozen, uncooked meat in the slow cooker. Thaw any
meat or poultry before slow cooking.
• Visit www.foodsafety.gov or fsis.usda.gov for more information on
safe internal cooking temperatures.
• To store leftovers after cooking, do NOT place the entire crock in the
refrigerator since contents will take too long to cool. Instead, divide
leftovers into smaller containers and place into refrigerator.
Troubleshooting
There is no display visible on the control panel.
• Is unit plugged in?
• Is unit turned on?
• Test that the electrical outlet is working with a lamp in known
working order.
• Was power interrupted (due to brownout, electrical storm, etc.) for
5 seconds or longer?
Food is undercooked.
• Was food cooked on KEEP WARM setting? Do not cook on KEEP
WARM setting; always cook on LOW, MED, or HIGH heat settings.
• Was power interrupted (due to brownout, electrical storm, etc.) for
5 seconds or longer? NOTE: For a power interruption of 5 seconds
or less, the slow cooker will remember the programmed heat and
time settings.
• Did you select LOW heat setting, but used a cooking time based on
HIGH heat setting?
• Did you have the glass lid placed correctly on slow cooker?
• Never allow undercooked or raw meat to sit at room temperature
in the slow cooker. Once meat is placed into the crock, it should be
cooked immediately (unless prepping slow cooker the night before,
where crock should be placed into the refrigerator).
Food isn't done after cooking amount of time recommended in my
recipe.
• This can be due to voltage variations (which are commonplace
everywhere) or altitude. The slight fluctuations in power do not
have a noticeable effect on most appliances. However, they can
alter cooking times in the slow cooker by extending the cooking
times. Allow sufficient time and select the appropriate heat setting.
You will learn through experience if the shorter or longer time is
needed.
Food is overcooked.
• Was the crock at least half full? The slow cooker has been designed
to thoroughly cook food in a filled crock. If the crock is only half-
filled, check for doneness 1 to 2 hours earlier than recipe time.
• Did you select hours based on a LOW heat recipe?
• Foods will continue to increase in temperature after desired
temperature has been reached.
Gasket is/has flattened or food seeps from under gasket.
• Clips are for transportation purposes only. Do NOT use clips during
storage.
