System for use:
1. Before you use your units, remove all packaging components and wash
the lid and stoneware with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly.
2. Check that the Temperature Control Knob is in the OFF position.
3. Place the unit(s) in the desired serving area prior to turning the units
on. There are integrated handles located on the bottom of both sides of
each unit for easy handling.
WARNING: Do not attempt to lift multiple units at one
time when they are connected together or stacked.
Assembly:
1. Place Stoneware into the Heating Base.
2. Lower the Glass Lid(s) horizontally down onto the Stoneware.
How to use:
1. Place the Removable Stoneware into the Heating Base, add your
ingredients, and cover with the Glass Lid(s).
2. Plug in your unit and select the temperature setting from the three
setting options. Refer to your specic recipe for more precise
cook times.
NOTE: Your unit is equipped with a WARM setting. WARM is only for
keeping already-cooked food warm. Do not cook on the WARM setting.
NOTE: We do not recommend using the WARM setting for more than
four (4) hours.
3. When heating or cooking is done, unplug your unit and allow it to cool
before cleaning.
4. Once the unit has cooled, store the cord by slowly feeding the cord
back into the base until it clicks into place.
How to Use (cont.)
Storing the Cord
To store the cord, start close to the cord pocket. Using your thumb and
forenger, follow the pattern of the cord to guide it back in. If you seem to
get stuck, pull the cord completely out and try again.
Usage notes:
• If you suspect that the power has gone out during the day, the food may
be unsafe to eat. If you are unaware of how long the power was out, we
suggest you discard the food inside.
• To avoid over or under-cooking, always ll the Stoneware ½ to
¾ full to conform to recommended cook times (with the exception
of certain cakes and custards, and as guided otherwise in our slow
cooker recipes).
• Do not overll Stoneware. To prevent spillover, do not ll
Stoneware higher than ¾ full.
• Always cook, with the Glass Lid(s) on, for the recommended time.
Do not remove the lid during the rst two hours of cooking.
• Always wear oven mitts when handling the Glass Lid(s) or Stoneware.
• Unplug when cooking is done and before cleaning.
• Removable Stoneware is ovenproof and microwave-safe. Glass lid/
lids are not safe to use in the oven or broiler. Do not use removable
stoneware or glass lid/lids on gas or electric burner or under the
broiler. (Refer to chart on page 20.)
For use as a single unit:
1. Press down on the red Cord-Release Latch on the right-hand side
of the unit.
2. Pull out the Retractable Power Cord and plug the cord into a
standard electrical outlet.
3. Add your ingredients to the Stoneware and cover with Glass Lid(s).
4. Select the temperature setting (HIGH, LOW or WARM) based on
your recipe. The Indicator Light will illuminate, indicating that
your unit is on.
5. When nished, turn your unit OFF, then unplug the Power Cord and
allow unit to cool down prior to cleaning.
NOTE: WARM is only for keeping already- cooked foods warm. Do not Cook
on the Warm setting.
