OPERATION
Your Cuisinart
Slow Cooker
cooks your food automatically
when you set the time and the
temperature. When time expires,
the unit automatically switches
to the “Warm” setting and the
“Warm” LED illuminates. Your
Slow Cooker also gives you the
option to manually change the
temperature. All you need to do
is set the desired temperature
and the unit will remain at that
temperature until the unit is
turned off or another temperature
is selected.
Cooking WITH the Timer
1. Place the unit on a clean,
dry counter.
2. Remove glass lid.
3. Fill ceramic pot with
ingredients.
4. Place lid back on top of the
ceramic pot.
5. Plug in unit.
6. Set desired time by turning
the timer dial to the
recommended cooking time:
1-8 hours using half hour
increments.
7. Set desired temperature by
turning the temperature dial
to the “Low”, “High” or
“Warm” setting.
NOTE: The “Warm” setting is not
a cooking function; therefore, it is
only for use with preheated foods.
8. The LED next to “Cook” will
illuminate to denote the unit
is in “Cook” mode and set
on the “Low” or “High”
temperature setting. For the
“Warm” setting, the LED next
to “Warm” will remain lit until
the unit is turned off.
NOTE: If the timer is set to
“0 Hours”, the unit will be in
“Warm” mode no matter what
the temperature dial states.
9. Once time has expired, the
unit will automatically switch
to the “Warm” setting and
the LED next to “Warm” will
illuminate.
10. Unit will continue to be in
“Warm” mode until it is
turned off by turning the
temperature dial to the
“Off” position.
11. Lift ceramic pot using pot
holders.
Cooking WITHOUT the Timer
NOTE: We recommend that when
cooking anything containing meat
in a slow cooker, cook on the
“High” temperature setting for up
to 2 hours or until the meat
reaches 140°F (60°C), then
reduce to the “Low” temperature
setting. This ensures that the meat
will reach food safe temperatures
in the proper amount of time.
