If you encounter issues with your slow cooker, refer to the following common solutions:

• Appliance not turning on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet and the control knob is set to a cooking or warming setting (not 'OFF').
• Food not heating sufficiently: Verify that the correct temperature setting (LOW or HIGH) has been selected for cooking. Ensure the lid is properly seated to retain heat.
• Food sticking to the pot: While ceramic pots are generally non-stick, ensure adequate liquid is used in recipes. For stubborn residue, soak the pot in warm, soapy water before cleaning.
• Lid condensation: It is normal for condensation to form on the inside of the glass lid during cooking.
