• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or other electric parts in water or other liquids.
• Do not attempt to repair this appliance yourself.
• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
• WARNING: Spilled food can cause serious burns. Keep appliance and cord away from children. Never drape cord over the edge of the counter, never use an outlet below counter,  and never use with an extension cord.
• Longer extension cords are available, but care must be exercised in their use. While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one, ensure that the marked electrical rating of the extension cord is equal to or greater than that of the appliance. If the plug is of the grounded type, the extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord. To avoid pulling, tripping or entanglement, position the extension cord so that it does not hang over the edge of the counter, table or other area where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
• Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or extension cord feels hot.
• Do not use glass cover if it is chipped or has deep scratches. Weakened glass can shatter during use. Discard immediately.
• Do not place glass cover with metal ring in the microwave oven
• Glass is breakable. Care should be taken not to drop or impact the glass cover. If the cover breaks, it will do so in many pieces. Avoid or discard any foodstuffs exposed to broken cover.
• Be extremely cautious of steam when removing cover. Lift cover slowly, directing steam away from you.
• Set metal cooking vessel and cover on hot pad, trivet or other heat protective surface. Do not set directly on the counter, table or other surface.
• Do not heat covered and empty cooking vessel on top of range. If preheating of cooking vessel is necessary, preheat without cover on.

HELPFUL HINTS

Adapting Recipes to Slow Cooking : Many of your favorite oven and range top recipes can be adapted to slow cooking with a few minor changes. Here are some important points to remember.

Amount of Liquid: Because little moisture evaporates during slow cooking, reduce amount of liquid in your recipe by one-half (1 cup of liquid is enough for most recipes). For soup recipes, add all ingredients except water or broth to vessel; add only enough liquid to cover ingredients.

Amount of Seasoning: Reduce amount of seasoning in proportion to reduced amount of liquid. Use whole or leaf herbs and spices rather than crushed or ground forms.

Slow Cooking Mea t: Less tender, less expensive cuts of meat are better suited to slow cooking than expensive cuts of meat. Remove excess fat before slow cooking if desired. Meat can be browned in the cooking vessel on top of the range before slow cooking.

Slow Cooking Vegetables : Add partially frozen vegetables, Chinese vegetables and fresh mushrooms during the last hour of cooking. Strong- flavored vegetables such as spinach, eggplant, okra and collard greens should be precooked before adding to cooker. The amount of onion normally used in your recipe should be reduced because its flavor gets stronger during cooking. In most cases, fresh vegetables take longer to cook than meats because liquid simmers rather than boils.

Slow Cooking Raw Meats and Vegetables : Most raw meat and vegetable combinations need at least 2 to 3 hours of cooking at “HIGH” or 7 to 10 hours at “LOW

Slow Cooking Fish and Seafood : Fresh or thawed seafood and fish fall apart during long hours of cooking. Add these ingredients an hour before serving and cook at “HIGH”.

Slow Cooking Milk, Sweet or Sour Cream and Cheese: Because milk, sour or sweet cream and cheese break down during long hours of cooking, add these ingredients just before servinstitutundiluted condensed canned soups or evaporated milk. Processed cheese tends to give better results than aged cheese.

Rice and Pasta : Rice and pasta may either be cooked separately, or added uncooked during last hour of cooking time. If added uncooked, make sure there is at least 1 to 1½ cups of liquid in vessel and heat is set at “LOW” or higher.

Dumplings : Dumplings may be cooked in broth or gravy at “HIGH”. Drop by spoonful’s on simmering broth or gravy. Cook covered for 30 minutes

Thickening Juices for Gravies and Sauces : To thicken juices for gravies and sauces, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of quick cooking tapioca at start, or thicken after cooking by adding a smooth paste made of 2 to 4 tablespoons cornstarch or flour and ¼ cup cold water. Bring to a boil at “HIGH”. Solid foods may be removed first

Don’t Remove Cover During Cooking : To retain heat, moisture and food flavor, don’t remove cover during cooking unless necessary for adding additional ingredients.

Using Cooking Tools on Non-Stick Finish : The following types of cooking tools may be used on the non-stick finish: plastic, rubber or wooden. Do not use sharp edged metal cooking tools (forks, knives, mashers) as these could scratch the non-stick finish.

Using Cooking Vessel on Top of Range : The cooking vessel (without heating base) can be used for range top cooking. Place vessel on large burner and use medium to low heat. The use of low to medium heat will prevent foods from overcooking, reduce spattering, and help retain natural juices. Do not use high heat except for bringing liquids to a boil. If cooking on a gas range, do not let flame extend up side of cooking vessel. ALWAYS USE OVEN MITTS WHEN USING COOKING VESSEL AND COVER ON RANGE UNIT

Cooking Meats : When cooking meats, preheat empty cooking vessel over medium to medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until a drop of water sizzles in cooking vessel. To prevent sticking of lean meats, you may wish to add a small amount of cooking oil. Add meat and brown as desired. Cover cooking vessel and reduce heat to low for cooking on range top OR transfer cooking vessel to heating base and cook desired setting. The shortest cooking time will be at “HIGH”.

Using Cooking vessel in Oven : The cooking vessel (without heating base) can be used  conventional or convection oven up to preheated temperatures of 350°F/177°C. Cooking vessel may be covered with aluminum foil for oven use. ALWAYS USE OVEN MITTS WHEN USING COOKING VESSEL IN OVEN.

DO NOT USE THE COOKING VESSEL IN A MICROWAVE OVEN, OVER A CAMPFIRE OR UNDER
AN OVEN BROILER UNIT TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE COOKING VESSEL OR OVEN.

Bread, Cakes & Desserts: Use an 8 x 4-inch or a 9 x 5-inch loaf pan. Check to ensure that your pan fits completely into the cooking vessel before mixing any ingredients. To prevent condensation from dripping onto food while baking, place double layer of paper toweling and single layer of aluminum foil across top of cooking vessel. Cover and bake according to recipe.

TEMPERATURE GUIDE

Be sure to cook foods to recommended food-safe temperatures. Always check with a meat thermometer to ensure that the center is cooked completely. Note: Foods cooked on the light-duty griddle base will take longer than on a standard griddle.

CLEANING YOUR VERSATILITY COOKER

1. Allow the entire unit (base, cooking vessel, cover) to cool completely before cleaning. Set cooking vessel and cover on dry, heat-protective surface for gradual cooling. NOTE: Do not run cold water over hot glass cover as it may crack or shatter if cooled suddenly.
2. Wipe heating base and cord with a damp cloth.
3. Cooking vessel and glass cover may be washed using warm, soapy water by hand or cleaned in the dishwasher. If dishwasher cleaning, avoid contact between pieces to prevent damage. Wash storage lid in warm, soapy water, rinse and dry. Lid can also be cleaned in dishwasher, top rack only.
