3 OTHER CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION This appliance is intended for household use only. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. This product is only intended for the preparation, cooking, and serving of foods. This product is not intended for use with any non-food materials or products.To avoid an electrical circuit overload do not use a high wattage appliance on the same circuit with the slow cooker. The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the counter- top or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over. STONEWARE AND GLASS LID: PRECAUTIONS AND INFORMATION • Please handle the Stoneware and Lid carefully to ensure long life. • Avoid sudden, extreme temperature changes. For example, do not place a hot Lid or Stoneware into cold water, or onto a wet surface. • Avoid hitting the Stoneware and Lid against the faucet or other hard surfaces. • Do not use Stoneware or Lid if chipped, cracked, or severely scratched.• Do not use abrasive cleansers or metal scouring pads. • The bottom of the Stoneware is very rough and can damage the countertop. Use caution. • The Stoneware and the Lid can become very hot. Use caution. Do not place directly on any unprotected surface or countertop. • The Stoneware is microwave safe and oven proof, but never heat the Stoneware when empty. Never place the Lid on a burner or stove top. Do not place the Lid in a microwave oven, conventional oven, or on the stove top. REMOVING GLASS LID AND STONEWARE When removing the Lid, tilt so that the opening faces away from youto avoid being burned by steam.The sides of the Base of the slow cooker get very warmbecause the heating elements are located here.

7 Slow Cooking Tips• Foods will continue to increase in temperature after desired temperature has been reached. • For best results, fill the Stoneware at least half-full but no more than one inch from the rim. If only half-filled, check for doneness 1 to 2 hours earlier than recipe. • Stirring is not necessary when slow cooking and removing the glass lid results in major heat loss and the cooking time may need to be extended. However, if cooking on High, stir occasionally. • For recipes that call for all day cooking, prepare the night before. Place ingredients in the Stoneware, cover and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, place the Stoneware in the slow cooker to cook. • Do not use frozen, uncooked meat in the slow cooker. Thaw any meat or poultry before slow cooking.• Some foods are not suited for extended cooking in the slow cooker. Pasta, seafood, milk, cream, or sour cream should be added 2 hours before serving. Evaporated milk or condensed soups are perfect for the slow cooker. • The higher the fat content of the meat, the less liquid is needed. If cooking meat with a high fat content, place thick onion slices underneath so the meat will not sit on (and cook in) the fat. • Slow cookers allow for very little evaporation. If making your favorite soup, stew, or sauce, reduce the liquid called for in the original recipe. If too thick, liquid can be added later. • If cooking a vegetable-type casserole, there will need to be liquid in the recipe to prevent scorching on the sides of the Stoneware. 840156800 nv05.qxd 4/9/07 2:26 PM Page 7
