Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Crock-Pot slow cooker, consider the following common solutions:

• Unit Not Turning On: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a functional electrical outlet. Check if the outlet is receiving power.
• Food Not Cooking Properly: Verify that the correct temperature setting (LOW/HIGH) and cooking time have been selected. Ensure the lid is properly seated to retain heat. Avoid frequently lifting the lid, as this can extend cooking times.
• Display Issues: If the touchscreen display is unresponsive or showing errors, try unplugging the unit for a few minutes and then plugging it back in to reset.
