BEFORE YOUR FIRST USE

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS CONT.

1. Before use, wash slow cooker pot, cover with warm, soapy water, rinse and dry.

2. Wipe non-stick finish of slow cooker heating base with a damp cloth and dry.

3. “Season” the non-stick interior of the cooking pot with a paper towel that has been soaked in a teaspoon of vegetable oil. This will ‘season’ the non­stick finish to prevent sticking after extended use.
   NOTE: NEVER use solid cooking fats like shortening or butter to season the finish. For optimal performance of the non stick surface always leave a light film of oil on the finish. The non-stick finish will need to be reconditioned aner each time the cooking pot is:

   • Cleaned in an automatic dishwasher;
   • The finish is treated with any special cleaner;

PREPARING THE GRIDDLE
Condition Non-Stick Finish: Just before using base as a griddle, condition the nonstick finish with a teaspoon of cooking oil; wipe oil evenly over finish, leaving a light film of oil DO NOT use shortening or butter to condition finish.
NOTE: It is normal to sense some small noises, smoke and/or odors during
the first few uses. This is normal and occurs due to the release of the oils
and lubricants used during production and the expansion/contraction of components during heating and cooling.

TIPS FOR USING YOUR SLOW COOKER

1. Place heating base on dry, level, heat-resistant surface away from any edge or uneven surface.

2. Place foods into cooking pot, cover and then place cooking pot onto heating base.
   NOTE: Use only plastic, rubber, wooden, or non-metal cooking tools to stir and/or serve foods directly from metal cooking pot. Metal utensils can scratch or otherwise damage the non-stick surface.

3. Attach cord firmly to base, then plug cord into a 120 volt AC electric outlet only.

4. Your Slow Cooker base offers heat settings for both warming and cooking a wide range of uncooked and prepared foods and baked goods. These include Keep Warm, LOW, MED and HI and will be numbered 1-5. For more precise results and optimal control dial can be set between settings 1- 5 For best results refer to the chart below for heat settings:

5. For best results use the following Tl ME/TEMP settings for preparing meat and vegetable combinations (stews, cholents, chilis, etc.)

6. Avoid removing cover for extended periods while slow cooking, as cook­ing time will be increased due to loss of heat and contents may dry out due to loss of moisture. Remove cover only to stir or add ingredients.

7. Do not strike utensils against pot or cover rim, glass cover may shatter as a result.

CLEANING & MAINTENANCE

Always make sure the slow-cooker is unplugged and powered off before storing away or cleaning. Make sure the unit has cooled down completely before cleaning.

1. Always allow the entire unit (base, metal cooking pot, and cover) to cool completely before cleaning. Set metal cooking pot and cover on dry, heat­protective 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. Metal cooking pot and glass cover may be washed using warm, soapy water by hand. DO NOT CLEAN IN DISHWASHER.

4. Only use a non-abrasive cleanser or baking soda paste to remove stains. Do not use metal scouring pads or cleansers as damage can occur.

5. Wipe with distilled vinegar to remove water spots or mineral deposits. Rewash with warm, soapy water, rinse and dry.

Cleaning the Griddle/Heating Element:

Always unplug cord from electrical outlet and allow base to cool completely before cleaning.

1. With a soft sponge or non-abrasive cleaning product, remove any fat or grease that may have accumulated on the griddle surface.
2. Wipe any oil residue from base with paper towel.
3. Wipe non-stick finish with a damp, soapy dishcloth or nylon-scouring non-abrasive pad recommended for non-stick finishes.
4. Clean finish thoroughly by wiping base several times with a clean, damp cloth to remove soap residue. If a tacky oil film forms on the non-stick finish of base, wipe with a dry cloth to remove. If this residue is not removed, it will bind with the finish during subsequent use and impair its non-stick abilities.
   NOTE: This unit has a one year warranty. Warranty of unit only covers normal wear and tear. Damage done to the Teflon surface, or any other part of the unit due to improper cleaning or cooking practices such as use of abrasive cleaners, steel wool or other harsh sponges, using metal utensils while cooking, putting any part of the unit in the dishwasher, or any other misuse of the unit is NOT covered by warranty.
