iNTrOduCTiON TO PrOgrAmmABLE SLOW COOKiNg

At last! A Slow Cooker pretty enough to cook and serve in…with a convenient place to keep

the mixing/serving spoon! This Programmable Slow Cooker can operate at LOW all day

or night, up to 20 hours... with an easy-to-read digital count-down timer to turn the appliance

OFF automatically. No more over-cooked slow cooked meals! The front and back locked lid

seals tight for spill-proof travel.

NOTE: When slow cooking on HIGH setting, it is very much like a covered pot on the stove top.

Foods will cook on HIGH in about half the time required for LOW cooking. Additional liquid may

be required as foods do boil on HIGH.

NOTE: When cooking on HIGH, check cooking progress, as some soups may come

to boil. Remember that frequent lifting of the lid during cooking delays the cook time.

WARNING: The stoneware liner CANNOT stand the shock of sudden temperature

changes. If the liner is hot, DO NOT add cold food. Before cooking frozen food, add some

warm liquid.

4. Plug into a 120V AC outlet. The 3 program indicator lights will flash until the unit

the Slow Cooker will begin to heat.

NOTE: Press the UP or DOWN arrows to adjust target cook TIME at any time while

the Slow Cooker is cooking.

NOTE: If the LOW or HIGH MODE is selected without entering a cook time

the Programmable Slow Cooker will heat by default for a time of “08:00” (8 hours)

in LOW setting and “04:00” (4 hours) in HIGH.

NOTE: Press the STOP button at any time to turn the Programmable Slow Cooker OFF.
