Functions
This slow cooker has four cooking functions and two serving functions. The serving functions,
EN
Buffet and Warm, are not intended to cook food. Only use the Buffet and Warm functions for
foods that have already been cooked and heated up.
COOKING
1.
Prepare the ingredients per your recipe. Traditional recipes can also be used in a slow
cooker by extending the cook times. Due to the low temperatures, foods rarely over-
cook in a slow cooker so ensure that the food has ample time to cook.
NOTE: Never place frozen meat or poultry in the slow cooker. Make sure any meat and
poultry is completely thawed before placing in the slow cooker.
NOTE: Never turn on the slow cooker while it is empty. This may cause the ceramic
vessel to crack.
NOTE: For optimum performance, the slow cooker should contain between 3.5 and 6.5
liters.
2.
Place ingredients into the ceramic vessel and cover with the glass lid. Leave the lid in
place for the remainder of the cooking time. Lifting the lid during cooking will allow
heat to escape. Add 30 minutes to the cook time if the lid is opened during cooking.
3.
Plug the unit into a proper electrical outlet. The control panel will light up, beep, and
then show four dashes to indicate that the unit is in standby.
4.
Press the High, Med, Low, or Soup button to select the desired cooking function.
Please see the "Recommended Cooking Times" section for reference.
NOTE: For simmering food with High, Med, Low, Soup functions, do not fill higher than
2 inches from the top of the ceramic vessel.
5.
The default time for the selected cooking function will be displayed. Pressing the Cook
Time button will increase the time by 30 minute intervals. Once the maximum time
is reached, the time will cycle back and start at 30 minutes. Pressing and holding the
Cook Time button will scroll through the time at a faster rate.
6.
Once the desired time has been selected, push the On/Off button to begin cooking.
The timer will begin counting down in one minute increments.
7.
During the cooking cycle, the time may be increased by pressing the Cook Time
button. The time will increase from the current time to the next 30 minute interval and
then it will increase in 30 minute intervals each time the Cook Time button is pressed.
8.
During the cooking cycle, the cooking function cannot be changed. To change the
cooking function, press the On/Off button and then select the desired cooking
function. Adjust the time as needed and press the On/Off button to begin cooking.
