SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY
POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature or modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.
POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power-supply cord is used to reduce the risk resulting from it being
grabbed by children, becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord.
NOTICES
- 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 finished wood table. We recommend placing a hot pad or trivet under your slow cooker to prevent possible damage to the surface.
- During the initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke and/or odor may be detected. This is normal with many heating appliances and will not recur after a few uses.
- Please use caution when placing your Cooking Pot on a ceramic or smooth glass cooktop stove, countertop, table or other surfaces.
Due to the nature of the Cooking Pot, its rough bottom may scratch some surfaces if caution is not used. Always place heat-resistant protective padding under the Coo King Pot before setting it on a table, countertop or other surfaces.

By selecting the temperature without selecting the desired time, the slow cooker operates continually in that mode without a defined shut-off time. Select the time based on the length of time indicated in the recipe.

- The Cooking Pot can be used on the stovetop (electric, gas or induction) to sauté and sear food. The Cooking Pot can then be transferred to the Heating Base to slow cook.
- The Cooking Pot can be used in the oven without the Glass Lid.
- NOTE: Use pot holders when transferring Cooking Pot
- NOTE: The WARM setting is ONLY for keeping food that is already at cooked temperature.
- DO NOT cook or REHEAT on the WARM setting. We do not recommend using the WARM setting for more than 4 hours.
USAGE NOTES
- If the main power has been interrupted (power cut), the display and lights will default to offsetting when the power is restored; settings will have been lost. As a result, the food may be unsafe to eat. If you are unaware of how long the power was off, we suggest you discard the food inside.
- If desired, you can manually switch to the WARM setting when your recipe has finished cooking, by turning the knob to WARM.
- To avoid over or under-cooking, always fill the cooking bowl ½ to ¾ full and follow the recommended cooking times. Always cook with the lid on for the recommended time. To allow the heat to build up efficiently, do not remove the lid during the first two hours of cooking.
- Always wear pot holders when handling the lid or removable cooking bowl.
- Unplug when cooking has finished and before cleaning.
