This product is intended for household

use only.

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 appli-

ance 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 slow cooker. Care must be taken to

arrange the extension cord so that it will not

drape over the countertop or tabletop

where it can be pulled on by children or

accidentally tripped over.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS!

When using electrical appliances, basic

safety precautions should always be

followed, including the following:

1. Read all instructions.

2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles

or knobs.

3. To protect against electrical shock do

not immerse cord, plug, or base in

water or other liquid.

4. Close supervision is necessary when

any appliance is used by or near chil-

dren.

5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and

before cleaning. Allow to cool before

putting on or taking off parts.

6. Do not operate any appliance with

a damaged cord or plug, or after the

appliance malfunctions or is dropped

7. The use of accessory attachments not

recommended by Hamilton Beach/

Proctor-Silex, Inc. may cause injuries.

8. Do not use outdoors.

9. Do not let cord hang over edge of

table or counter, or touch hot surfaces,

including the stove.

10. Do not place on or near hot gas or an

electric burner, or in a heated oven.

11. Extreme caution must be used when

using an appliance containing hot oil or

other hot liquids.

12. To disconnect slow cooker, turn

control knob to Off ( O) then remove

Other Consumer Safety Information

wWARNING

Shock Hazard

• Do not immerse this appliance in water or other liquid.

• This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electrical

shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the safety

purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or using an adaptor. If the plug

does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

Parts and Features (cont.)

How much does your slow cooker hold?

The capacity of your slow cooker refers to the amount the cooking vessel can hold

if it is filled to the rim. However, in order to avoid food boiling over and spilling, we

DO NOT recommend filling to the rim. As a rule, you should select recipes that yield

1 quart less than the listed capacity of your cooking vessel. For example, if your

slow cooker is labeled as a 6-quart slow cooker, your best results will be achieved

using recipes that yield 5 quarts or less.

The Control Knob on the slow cooker is

cool to the touch and offers Low and

High temperature settings for cooking.

The Keep Warm setting is for holding

the prepared recipe at a perfect serving

temperature.

The Keep Warm setting should only

be used after a recipe has been thor-

oughly cooked. Food should not be

reheated on the Keep Warm setting. If

food has been cooked and then refriger-

ated it must be reheated on Low or

High, then switched to Keep Warm.

wCAUTION

Health Hazard

The Keep Warm setting should only be used after completely cooking the

recipe according to the instructions. The food must be hot enough to prevent

bacterial growth before using the Keep Warm setting. Do not use the Keep

Warm setting to reheat any food that has been refrigerated or frozen.

840143900 Ev01 4/28/06 9:41 AM Page 4

1. Before first use, wash the glass lid

and cooking vessel in hot, soapy

water. Rinse and dry. Do not

immerse base in water.

2. Prepare recipe according to instruc-

tions. Place food in cooking vessel

and cover with glass lid.

NOTE: When planning to travel with

the slow cooker, make sure that the

clips are securely snapped in the

locked position prior to cooking.

How to Use Your Slow Cooker

3. Plug cord into outlet. Select a

temperature setting of Low or High

(not Keep Warm).

4. When finished, turn to Off (O) and

unplug base.

5. Let the cooking vessel and glass lid

cool before washing.

You are probably ready to develop new

recipes for use in your slow cooker. If

the recipe was originally cooked in a

saucepan on the stovetop, or slow

roasted in the oven, adapting the recipe

should be easy.

If You’ve Used a Slow Cooker Before

Cooking in a slow cooker is easy but

different from conventional methods.

Take a few minutes and read “How to

Use” and “Tips for Slow Cooking.”

You’ll soon be convinced that a slow

cooker is a necessity. There are also

many slow cooker recipe books avail-

able in the library or book store. If you

have any questions, call our toll-free

customer service number. We’ll be glad

to help.

Our slow cooker heats from the sides.

The base slowly raises the temperature

of the pan. Whether cooked on Low or

High, the final temperature of the food is

the same, about 200°F. The only differ-

ence is the amount of time the cooking

process takes.

Basic Cooking Chart/Hours Required

• The cover of the slow cooker does

not form a tight fit on the cooking

vessel but should be centered on the

cooking vessel for best results. Do

not remove the glass lid

unnecessarily—this results in major

heat loss. Do not cook without glass

lid in place.

• Stirring is not necessary when slow

cooking. However, if cooking on High,

you may want to stir occasionally.

• Slow cooking retains most of the

moisture in foods. If a recipe results

in too much liquid at the end of the

cooking time, remove the glass lid,

turn the control knob to High, and

reduce the liquid by simmering. This

will take 30 to 45 minutes.

• The slow cooker should be at least

half-filled for best results.

Tips for Slow Cooking

• If cooking soups or stews, leave a

2-inch space between the top of the

cooking vessel and the food so that

the recipe can come to a simmer.

• Many recipes call for cooking all day.

If your morning schedule doesn’t

allow time to prepare a recipe, do it

the night before. Place all ingredients

in the cooking vessel, cover with

glass lid and refrigerate overnight. In

the morning, simply place cooking

vessel in the slow cooker. Select the

temperature setting.

• Meat and poultry require at least 7 to

8 hours on Low. Do not use frozen

meat in the slow cooker. Thaw any

meat or poultry before slow cooking.

840143900 Ev01 4/28/06 9:41 AM Page 6

Adapting Recipes

Some ingredients 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.

Many things can affect how quickly a

recipe will cook. The water and fat

content of a food, the temperature of

the food, and the size of the food will

all affect the cooking time. Food cut

into pieces will cook faster than whole

roasts or poultry.

Most meat and vegetable combinations

require at least 7 hours on Low.

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 and cook in the fat.

Some recipes call for browning the

meat before slow cooking. This is only

to remove excess fat or for color; it is

not necessary for successful cooking.

Slow cookers have very little evapora-

tion. If making your favorite soup, stew,

or sauce, reduce the liquid or water

called for in the original recipe. If too

thick, liquids 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 cooking vessel.

Cleaning

1. Turn the control knob to Off (O).

Unplug cord from outlet.

2. Remove cooking vessel and glass lid

from base and let cool.

3. Wash the cooking vessel, glass lid

and plastic lid in hot, soapy water.

Rinse and dry. Cooking vessel and

glass lid may also be washed in the

dishwasher.

4. Wipe the base with a damp cloth.

Do not use abrasive cleansers.

wWARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Do not immerse base in water. This can result in death or electrical shock.
