Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Slow cooker does not turn on. | Unit is not plugged in or power outlet is not working. | Ensure the unit is securely plugged into a functional power outlet. Check circuit breaker. |
| Food is not cooking properly. | Incorrect heat setting or cooking time. Lid not sealed properly. | Verify the correct heat setting (LOW or HIGH) and cooking duration for your recipe. Ensure the lid is seated firmly on the ceramic pot. Avoid lifting the lid frequently during cooking. |
