CROCK AND LID: PRECAUTIONS AND INFORMATION

• Please handle crock and lid carefully to ensure long life.

• Avoid sudden, extreme temperature changes. For example,

do not place a hot lid or crock into cold water, or onto a wet

surface.

• Avoid hitting crock or lid against faucet or other hard

surfaces.

• Do not use crock or lid if chipped, cracked, or severely

scratched.

• Do not use abrasive cleansers or metal scouring pads.

• The bottom of the crock is very rough and can damage the

countertop. Use caution.

• The crock and lid can become very hot. Use caution. Do not

place directly on any unprotected surface or countertop.

• The crock is microwave-safe and oven-proof, but never heat

crock when empty. Never place lid on a burner or stove top.

Do not place lid in a microwave oven, conventional oven, or

on stove top.

REMOVING LID AND CROCK

When removing lid, tilt so that opening faces away from you

to avoid being burned by steam.

The sides of the slow cooker’s base get very warm because

the heating elements are located here. Use handles on base if

necessary. Use oven mitts to remove crock.

Other Consumer Safety Information

This product is intended for household use only.

This product is only intended for the preparation, cooking, and

serving of foods. This product is not intended for use with any

nonfood materials or products.

WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug

(one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The

plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the

safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or

by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet,

reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician

replace the outlet.

The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to

reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over

a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved

extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the

extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of

the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension

cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop

where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped

over.

Introduction

How to Use IntelliTime Mode

No more dry, mushy slow-cooked meals. The IntelliTime™ slow cooker automatically adjusts the heat to prevent overcooking. Most slow

cooker recipes call for a 6- to 8-hour cook time, but many working families are out of the house for 10 or more hours a day. With the

IntelliTime slow cooker, food is finished precisely when you want, even up to 12 hours later.

The IntelliTime slow cooker has two modes of cooking—IntelliTime mode and Manual mode. The IntelliTime mode ramps heat up quickly

or slowly based on the number of hours you want to cook, from 4 hours to 12 hours. When the cooking time has ended, it shifts to

WARM for 4 hours. It is ideal for cooking large meats, meat and vegetable combinations, or long-cooking soups and stews. The Manual

mode is the traditional way of slow cooking with heat settings of WARM, LOW, MEDIUM, and HIGH. Choose the Manual mode for foods

with cooking times of less than 4 hours or recipes such as desserts and egg dishes.

INTELLITIME: Choose cooking time from 4 hours to 12 hours in 30-minute increments. In this mode, the slow cooker automatically adjusts

the heat to the hours selected.

Examples of Common IntelliTime Settings

Choose your starting time in the left column. Look across the top to choose a serve time. Your IntelliTime setting is the number of hours at

the point where the two intersect.

*Will switch to WARM after 12 hours.

When cooking is finished, slow

cooker will automatically switch

to the WARM setting.

MAX cooking

time is 12 hours

with an additional 4 hours of

warming time. After any time

setting, the slow cooker will

automatically switch to WARM

for up to 4 hours.

To turn off at any time, press and

hold ON/OFF button. Unplug from

wall outlet.

Plug in slow cooker. Press ON/

OFF button to turn on. Display

will flash 4:00. (Slow cooker will

start at 4:00 if no other setting is

selected.)

Rotate knob to the right to select cooking time from 4 to 12 hours in

30-minute increments. Push button to start or wait a few seconds and

slow cooker will start automatically. The slow cooker will beep when

be adjusted. Turn slow cooker off and restart to reset.

BEFORE FIRST USE: Wash lid and crock in hot, soapy water. Rinse and dry.

EXAMPLE FOR SETTING INTELLITIME: Your recipe for Beef Stew

calls for cooking on LOW for 6 to 8 hours. You will be away from

home for 10 hours. Ignore the recipe time and set the dial for 10

hours. The slow cooker adjusts heat to make your Beef Stew ready

to eat, not overcooked, at 10 hours. Can’t make it home in 10 hours?

No problem, the slow cooker automatically switches to WARM for up

to 4 hours after cooking time has ended.

Tips for Slow Cooking

• The crock should be at least half-filled for best results. If only

half-filled, foods may cook faster.

• Stirring is not necessary when slow cooking. Removing glass

lid results in major heat loss and the cooking time may need to

be extended.

• If cooking soups or stews, leave a 1-inch (2.5-cm) space between

the lid and the food so that the recipe can come to a simmer.

• Many recipes call for cooking all day. If your morning schedule

doesn’t allow time to prepare a recipe, do it the night before.

Place all ingredients in crock, cover with lid, and refrigerate

overnight. In the morning, simply place crock in slow cooker.

• When choosing recipes for this slow cooker, look for recipes

that call for cooking time on HIGH 4 to 5 hours or LOW 6 to 8

hours. Recipes calling for less cooking time should be checked

periodically for doneness.

• Some foods are not suited for extended cooking in a slow cooker.

Pasta, seafood, milk, cream, or sour cream should be added 2

hours before serving. Evaporated milk or condensed soups are

perfect for slow cooking.

• The higher the fat content of meat, the less liquid is needed. If

cooking meat with a high fat content, place thick onion slices

underneath so meat will not sit on (and cook in) fat.

• Slow cookers allow for very little evaporation. If making your

favorite soup, stew, or sauce, reduce liquid called for in original

recipe. If too thick, liquid can be added later.

• If cooking a vegetable-type casserole, there will need to be liquid

in the recipe to prevent scorching on the sides of the crock.

Food Safety Tips

• Do not use frozen, uncooked meat in the slow cooker. Thaw any

meat or poultry before slow cooking.

• Visit www.foodsafety.gov for more information on safe internal

cooking temperatures.

• To store leftovers after cooking, do NOT place the entire crock in the

refrigerator since contents will take too long to cool. Instead, divide

leftovers into smaller containers and place into refrigerator.

• Never allow undercooked or raw meat to sit at room temperature

in the slow cooker. Once meat is placed into the crock, it should be

cooked immediately (unless prepping slow cooker the night before,

where crock should be placed into the refrigerator).

IF YOU LIVE IN A HIGH-ALTITUDE AREA:

The Extension service will have detailed information about cooking

for your area. To locate the Cooperative Extension service in your

county, please visit: http://www.csrees.usda.gov/Extension/.

PROBLEM

Food is undercooked.

My meal was

overcooked. Why?

PROBABLE CAUSE

• Was food cooked on the Warm setting? Do not cook on Warm.

• Was power interrupted?

• Did the slow cooker cook for the complete time selected? Select HIGH or the 4-hour setting

to add more time to the recipe.

• Recipe had too much liquid.

• Crock was overfilled.

• Did you have the lid placed correctly on the slow cooker?

• Was the crock at least half full? The slow cooker has been designed to thoroughly cook food

in a filled crock. If the crock is only half-filled, foods may cook faster. Check for doneness

periodically.

• Foods will continue to increase in temperature after desired temperature has been reached.

• Recipe called for shorter than normal cook time and IntelliTime™ mode was used.
