OPERATING YOUR SLOW COOKER
Appliance surfaces are hot during and after use. Always wear protective,
insulated oven mitts when touching a hot slow cooker.
Before the First Use
1. Carefully remove all the pieces of the slow cooker from the packaging
and place on counter near a suitable electrical outlet. (See Electrical
Requirements on page 4.)
2. Before the first use, hand wash the removable crock and lid in hot,
soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
3. Insert ceramic crock into slow cooker base.
4. Place slow cooker on a level, dry surface. Allow air circulation around
the slow cooker, keeping it away from window treatments, walls,
towels, etc.
5. Plug power cord into two-prong electrical outlet. The slow cooker will
chime once to indicate the slow cooker is ready for operation.
Setting the Controls
Step 1: LOAD
Make sure the slow cooker is assembled with the ceramic crock in place,
that it is on a dry, level surface, and it is plugged into a suitable electrical
outlet. (See Electrical Requirements on page 4.)
To make clean up easier, spray the inside of the ceramic crock with nonstick
cooking spray.
