Removing Cover and Crock
When removing the cover, tilt so that
the opening faces away from you to
avoid being burned by steam.
The sides of the base of the slow cooker
get very warm because the heating ele-
ments are located here. Use the handles
on the base if necessary. Use hot mitts
to remove the crock.
Control Knob and Temperature Settings
The Control Knob on the slow cooker offers Low and
High temperature settings for cooking. The Keep
Warm setting is for holding the prepared recipe at a
perfect serving temperature.
The Keep Warm setting should only be used after a
recipe has been thoroughly cooked. Food should not
be reheated on the Keep Warm setting. If food has
been cooked and then refrigerated it must be reheated
on Low or High and then switched to Keep Warm.
CAUTION: The Keep Warm setting should only be used after completely cooking
the recipe according to the instructions. The food must be hot enough to prevent
bacterial growth before using the Keep Warm setting. Do not use the Keep Warm
setting to reheat any food that has been refrigerated or frozen.
