PREPARING FOR USE

Before you use your Crock-Pot® slow cooker, remove all packaging and wash the lid and stoneware with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.
IMPORTANT NOTES: Some countertop and table surfaces are not designed to withstand the prolonged heat generated by certain appliances. Do not set the heated unit on a heat sensitive surface. We recommend placing a hot pad or trivet under your slow cooker to prevent possible damage to the surface.
Please use caution when placing your stoneware on a ceramic or smooth glass cook top stove, countertop, table, or other surface. Due to the nature of the stoneware, the rough bottom surface may scratch some surfaces if caution is not used.
Always place protective padding under stoneware before placing it on a table or countertop.
During initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke or odour may be detected. This is normal with many heating appliances and will not recur after a few uses.
Remove the orange battery protective strip by fully pulling out. This will control the clock when the unit is not plugged in.

HOW TO USE MANUAL FUNCTION ON SLOW COOKER

1. Place the stoneware into the heating base, add your ingredients into the stoneware and cover with the lid. Plug in your slow cooker and select “MANUAL” on the right side of the controller.

2. Select “TEMP” to choose the temperature setting from HIGH, LOW, or KEEP WARM.
   NOTE: “KEEP WARM” is ONLY for keeping already cooked food warm. DO NOT cook on the “KEEP WARM” setting. We do not recommend using the “KEEP WARM” setting for more than 4 hours.

3. Use the “HOUR” and “MINUTE” buttons to select cook time in increments of 15 minutes, up to 20 hours. Select the time based on the length of time indicated in the recipe. The time will begin to count down in one minute increments.
   Use “CANCEL TIMER” to clear the countdown timer. This will allow your slow cooker to remain on its current setting until turned off. To cancel the Manual function select the Start/Stop button.

4. For recipes that require a range of times, select the time closest to the setting on your slow cooker. For example, to cook a recipe calling for a cooking time of 7 to 9 hours on LOW, cook for 8 hours.

5. When the cooking time has completed, the Crock-Pot® slow cooker automatically shifts to the “KEEP WARM” setting.

6. To turn the Crock-Pot® slow cooker off, press the “START/STOP” button and unplug the unit from the outlet.

7. When cooking is done, unplug your slow cooker and allow it to cool before cleaning.

HOW TO USE TIMESELECT TECHNOLOGY

1. Place the stoneware into the heating base, add ingredients into the stoneware and cover with the lid.

2. Plug Crock-Pot® 5.6L TimeSelect Slow Cooker into an electrical outlet.

3. Choose “SCHEDULE MEAL” on the left side of the control panel.

4. Select “FOOD” to choose from a list of 4 preset functions: MEAT , POULTRY , SOUP , and VEGGIES .
   NOTE: Make “FOOD” selection based on the recipe type being cooked. If the recipe that you are cooking is not on the preset list, please choose the main ingredient that most closely relates, or cook using the “MANUAL” function.
   NOTE: Stews should be cooked using the “MEAT ” food selection. To achieve the best results when cooking large pieces of meat or poultry, please add additional time to the meal’s earliest end time.
   NOTE: For those recipes containing a large quantity of root vegetables these will require cooking for a longer period of time at a higher temperature. We recommend these recipes are cooked on Manual HIGH setting instead of VEGGIES setting.

5. Use the “AMOUNT” button to select weight or capacity of food being cooked. If “MEAT ” or “POULTRY ” is selected, the slow cooker will give a weight option of “+1 KG” or “0-1 KG”. If “SOUP ” or “VEGGIES ” is chosen, the slow cooker will give a capacity option of “FULL POT ” or “HALF POT ”.
   NOTE: “FULL POT ” is referencing a cooking pot that is filled ¾ of the way full.

6. Next, use the “HOUR” and “MINUTE” buttons to select the time that you would like your meal to be complete (e.g. 8:00pm), then press “START”. Initial time displayed on the screen is the meal’s earliest end time, based on food and amount being cooked.
   NOTE: “SCHEDULE MEAL” function will not cook food longer than 12 hours from the meal cook-start time. Once the clock is past the scheduled meal time, the slow cooker will automatically turn to “KEEP WARM”.
   NOTE: TimeSelect technology automatically determines the correct heat setting based on the above inputs. Food will always be kept at a food safe temperature, unless there is a power outage. See page 9 for more details, in the event of a power outage.

USAGE NOTES

• To change between LBS and KGS, hold “AMOUNT” button for 3 seconds.
• To change the current time, hold “CLOCK SET” for 3 seconds. Adjust the time using “HOUR” and “MINUTE”, then press “CLOCK SET” to confirm the selection.
• Should the clock setting stop working or low battery symbol displayed after plugging back in the battery may need replacing. See Battery Section for details.
• If there is a Power outage, the display and lights blink when the Power is restored. All slow cooker settings have been cleared and must be reset. As a result, the food may be unsafe to eat. If you are unaware of how long the power was out, we suggest you discard the food inside.
• To avoid over or under-cooking, always fill the stoneware ½ to ¾ full and conform to the recommended cooking times.
• Do not overfill the stoneware. To prevent spillover, do not fill the stoneware higher than ¾ full.
• Always cook with the lid on for the recommended time. Do not remove the lid during the first two hours of cooking to allow the heat to build up efficiently.
• Always wear oven gloves when handling the lid. Beware of escaping steam when opening the lid.
• Unplug when cooking has finished and before cleaning.
• The removable stoneware is ovenproof. Do not use removable stoneware on a gas burner, electric hob or under grill.

GUIDE TO ADAPTING RECIPES

This guide is designed to help you adapt your own and other recipes for your slow cooker. Many of the normal preparatory steps are unnecessary when using your slow cooker. In most cases all ingredients can go into your slow cooker at once and cook all day. General:

• Allow sufficient cooking time.
• Always cook with the lid on.
• For best results and to prevent food from drying or burning, always ensure an adequate amount of liquid is used in the recipe.

PASTA AND RICE:

• For best results, use long grain rice unless the recipe states otherwise. If the rice is not cooked completely after the suggested time, add an extra 1 to 1½ cups of liquid per cup of cooked rice and continue cooking for 20 to 30 minutes.
• For best pasta results, add the pasta to the slow cooker during the last 30 to 60 minutes of cook time.

BEANS:

• Dried beans, especially red kidney beans, should be boiled before adding to a recipe.
• Fully cooked canned beans may be used as a substitute for dried beans.

VEGETABLES:

• Many vegetables benefit from slow cooking and are able to develop their full flavour. They tend not to overcook in your slow cooker as they might in your oven or on your hob.
• When cooking recipes with vegetables and meat, place vegetables into the stoneware before meat. Vegetables usually cook more slowly than meat in the slow cooker and benefit from being partially immersed in the cooking liquid.
• Place vegetables near the sides or bottom of the stoneware to help cooking.

MILK:

• Milk, cream, and sour cream break down during extended cooking. When possible, add during the last 15 to 30 minutes of cooking.
• Condensed soups may be substituted for milk and can cook for extended times.

SOUPS:

• Some recipes call for large amounts of water/stock. Add the soup ingredients to the stoneware first then add water/ stock only to cover. If a thinner soup is desired, add more liquid when serving.

MEATS:

• Trim fat, rinse well, and pat meat dry with paper towels.
• Browning meat beforehand allows fat to be drained off before slow cooking and also adds greater depth of flavour.
• Meat should be positioned so that it rests in the stoneware without touching the lid.
• For smaller or larger cuts of meat, alter the amount of vegetables or potatoes so that the stoneware is always ½ to ¾ full.
• The size of the meat and the recommended cook times are just estimates and can vary depending upon the specific cut, type, and bone structure. Lean meats such as chicken or pork tenderloin tend to cook faster than meats with more connective tissue and fat such as brisket or pork shoulder. Cooking meat on the bone versus boneless will increase required cook times.
• Cut meat into smaller pieces when cooking with precooked foods such as beans, or light vegetables such as mushrooms, diced onion, auberge, or finely minced vegetables. This enables all food to cook at the same rate.

FISH:

• Fish cooks quickly and should be added at the end of the cooking cycle during the last fifteen minutes to one hour of cooking.

LIQUID:

• It might appear that slow cooker recipes only have a small quantity of liquid in them but the slow cooking process differs from other cooking methods in that the added liquid in the recipe will almost double during the cooking time. If you are adapting a recipe for your slow cooker from a conventional recipe, please reduce the amount of liquid before cooking.

CLEANING

ALWAYS unplug your slow cooker from the electrical outlet, and allow it to cool before cleaning.
CAUTION: Never immerse the heating base, power cord or plug in water or any other liquid.

• The lid and stoneware can be washed in the dishwasher or with hot, soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaning compounds or scouring pads. A cloth, sponge, or rubber spatula will usually remove residue. To remove water spots and other stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner or vinegar.
• As with any fine ceramic, the stoneware and lid will not withstand sudden temperature changes. Do not wash the stoneware or lid with cold water when they are hot.
• The outside of the appliance may be cleaned with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water. Wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• No other servicing should be performed.
• Note: After cleaning allow the stoneware to air dry before storing.
• Do not use wet cloths around the battery compartment
