Recipes will typically recommend Low or High; however, the setting can be adjusted
based on the available cooking time. In general, Low is recommended for “all-day”
cooking. One hour on High equals a little over two hours on Low. The Auto Low
feature starts cooking on the High setting, then automatically shifts to the Low setting
(after one-and-a-half to two hours) for the remainder of the cooking time.

OTE
:
When using Auto Low, the control knob stays in the Auto Low position
and does not move, even though the temperature is shifting from High to Low.
Auto Low is ideal when the desired completion time is unknown.
• Place lid on top of crock during cooking unless otherwise specified in the recipe.
• If desired, activate self-stirring paddle by pressing Stirring Button
(Some Models Only).
If stirring is not desired, Paddle can be turned off or removed completely.
• Turn control to “OFF” when cooking is complete.
• Remove food from crock, or use crock as a serving dish by lifting crock out of
the base by the handles. The crock’s PermaTherm
™
material will help keep food hot,
even after it has been removed from the Slow Cooker.
•
The crock can be used to store food in the refrigerator. In fact, the crock’s PermaTherm
™
material allows you to go from the refrigerator to the Slow Cooker then back again
without any harm to the Slow Cooker or crock.
• When Slow Cooker is not in use, be sure the Control Knob and the Stirring Paddle
are turned off.
CLEANING YOUR SLOW COOKER
• Be sure Control Knob is turned to “OFF”. Unplug cord from outlet.
• To wash Crock, Lid and Paddle, remove components from the base and wash in hot,
soapy water or place in a dishwasher. If crock is difficult to clean, soak in warm water
before washing.
• To clean the base of the Slow Cooker, wipe outer housing and liner with a damp cloth.
• Never use harsh abrasives or chemicals.
• Never immerse the base of the Slow Cooker in water or other liquids.
USING YOUR STIRRING PADDLE
(Some Models Only)
To activate the stirring paddle, press the stir button next to the control knob. After a few
seconds, the paddle will begin rotating; the paddle will move in either a clockwise or
counterclockwise direction. If the paddle is obstructed while rotating, the stirring will stop
for a few seconds, then the paddle will automatically reverse and begin stirring in
the opposite direction. The stirring paddle can be turned off or on any time before,
during or after the cooking cycle. If stirring is not needed, the paddle can be turned off
by pressing the button, or removed completely by grasping the center of the paddle
and lifting up from the base.
