2. Plug in your Crock-Pot

slow cooker. You will have to reduce the cooking
time of the recipe if the stoneware is less than three quarters full.
3. Press the desired cook setting button (HIGH or
LOW). Warm is also an option that can be
selected, although it is intended to keep food
warm only and not to cook.
4. Press the timer button to select the desired time
setting. Please note the following are the pre-
programmed times that automatically appear
based on the cook setting selected and are
adjustable:
WARM = 6 hours
LOW= 10 hours
HIGH= 6 hours
5. Once all selections are made the corresponding light illuminates, the
slow cooker heats, and the internal timer starts counting down time in
1 minute increments.
6. When the cooking time has completed, the slow cooker automatically
shifts to the WARM setting and the WARM light illuminates. The timer
will display the amount of time the unit has been on WARM, and will
shut off after six hours.
USAGE NOTES:
• If there is a power outage while cooking, when the power is restored
the unit will be off. All slow cooker settings have been cleared and must
be reset. However, the food may be unsafe to eat. If you are unaware of
how long the power was out, we suggest you discard the food.
• Do not overfill stoneware. To prevent spillover, do not fill stoneware
higher than ¾ full.
