Keep Warm setting only to keep hot, cooked food warm for serving. Avoid
removing cover when slow cooking as cooking time will be increased due to loss
of heat. Remove cover only when needed to stir occasionally or when adding
ingredients. Always lift the cover slowly, directing the steam away from you.
5. After the food is cooked, reduce the heat to “Keep Warm” for serving or turn

Allow the entire unit (base, cooking vessel and cover) to cool before cleaning.
Set cooking vessel and cover on dry, heat-protective surface for gradual cooling.
Do not run cold water over hot cooking vessel or cover, as they may crack
if cooled suddenly.
1. Wipe the heating base and cord with a damp cloth after it has been unplugged
and the base is cool.
2. Cooking vessel and cover may be washed using warm soapy water by hand or
cleaned in the dishwasher. Avoid contact between pieces to prevent damage.
3. Use a non-abrasive cleanser or baking soda paste to remove stains. Do not use
metal scouring pads or cleansers. Wipe with distilled vinegar to remove water
spots or mineral deposits. Rewash with warm soapy water, rinse and dry.

Less tender, less expensive cuts of meat are better suited to slow cooking then
expensive cuts of meat. Remove excess fat from meat when possible before
slow cooking. Remove skin from poultry, if desired, before cooking.

Raw vegetables take longer to cook than meats as the liquid simmers rather
than boils. Cut vegetables into uniform, bite-size pieces to cook evenly.
