Operating Instructions

Cooking with Your Slow Cooker

2. Secure Lid: Place the tempered glass lid onto the ceramic cooking pot.
3. Plug In: Plug the slow cooker into a suitable electrical outlet.
4. Select Setting: Turn the control dial to your desired heat setting:
• LOW: For slow, gentle cooking over an extended period.
• HIGH: For faster cooking.
• WARM: To keep cooked food at a serving temperature. Do not use the WARM setting for cooking raw food.

Helpful Tips

• For best results, preheat the slow cooker on the desired setting for 15-20 minutes before adding ingredients.
• Avoid lifting the lid frequently during cooking, as this releases heat and extends cooking time.
• The compact 2-quart size is ideal for sauces, dips, small meals for 1-2 people, or side dishes.

Care and Maintenance

Cleaning

• Always unplug the slow cooker and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
• The removable ceramic cooking pot and tempered glass lid are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
• To clean the heating base, wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads. Never immerse the heating base in water or any other liquid.
• Ensure all parts are completely dry before storing.

Storage
