Operating Instructions

This slow cooker allows you to cook or keep warm up to three different dishes simultaneously, each with its own temperature setting.

1. Prepare Food: Place your desired food items into the individual stoneware pots.
2. Place Lids: Cover each pot with its corresponding glass lid.
3. Plug In: Insert the power cord into a standard electrical outlet.
4. Select Temperature: For each pot, turn the individual control dial to your desired setting:
   • OFF: Turns the heating element off.
   • LOW: For slow cooking over a longer period.
   • HIGH: For faster cooking.
   • WARM: To keep cooked food at a serving temperature without further cooking.
5. Cooking/Warming: Allow the appliance to heat and cook/warm the food. Cooking times will vary based on the recipe and selected temperature.
6. Serving: When serving, carefully lift the glass lid and place it on the integrated lid rest at the back of the unit to prevent condensation drips on your counter. Use the provided serving spoons.
7. After Use: Once cooking or warming is complete, turn all control dials to the “OFF” position and unplug the unit from the outlet.

Cleaning & Maintenance

Proper cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your slow cooker.

1. Unplug and Cool: Always unplug the slow cooker from the electrical outlet and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
2. Stoneware Pots & Glass Lids: These components are dishwasher safe. Alternatively, they can be washed by hand in warm, soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that may damage the surface.
3. Base Unit: Wipe the exterior of the base unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Never immerse the base unit in water or any other liquid.
4. Lid Rests: The metal lid rests can be removed for cleaning if necessary. Wash in warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
5. Storage: Ensure all parts are clean and dry before storing. Store the slow cooker in a cool, dry place.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your slow cooker, please refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Appliance does not turn on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet and the control dials are set to a temperature setting (Low, High, or Warm), not OFF.
• Food not heating properly: Verify that the correct temperature setting has been selected for each pot. Ensure lids are properly seated to retain heat.
• Food is burning: Check that the temperature setting is appropriate for your recipe. Reduce to a lower setting or 'Warm' if food is cooking too quickly.
• Lids do not fit securely: Ensure the stoneware pots are correctly seated in the heating wells and that the lids are placed squarely on top.

If problems persist after checking these points, please contact customer support.
