PREPARING TO USE YOUR SLOW COOKER
BEFORE FIRST USE
Before using your Kenmore 5-Quart Slow Cooker, remove any labels, stickers or tags that may be
attached to the appliance. Clean the appliance thoroughly.
1. Wash the glass lid and the ceramic pot in hot, soapy water.
2. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
3. DO NOT immerse metal housing in water.
4. Place Slow Cooker on a dry, at, level surface such as a countertop or table.
When turned on for the rst time, your new Slow Cooker may emit an odor for up to 10 minutes.
This is due to the initial heating of the materials used in making the Slow Cooker. The odor is safe
and should not recur after initial heating.

OPERATING YOUR SLOW COOKER

1. Prepare your recipe according to directions.
2. Place prepared food into the removable ceramic pot and cover with the glass lid.
3. Plug the power cord into a standard 120-V, 60Hz AC-only 3-prong electrical outlet.
The Warm setting is for use in keeping foods warmed only, and is not intended for cooking.

TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
1. Little or no stirring is required when using the Low or Warm settings. In the High or Medium
setting, stirring can ensure even flavor distribution.
2 Always cook with the glass lid in place and the ceramic pot in position. The glass lid of the Slow
Cooker does not form a tight fit on the ceramic pot and should be centered on the ceramic pot for
best results. Remember that frequent lifting of the glass lid will delay the cooking time.
3. The Slow Cooker should be at least half-filled for best results.
4. If cooking soups or stews, leave a 2-inch space between the top of the ceramic pot and the food
so that the food may be allowed to simmer.
5. When cooking a meat and vegetable combination, place the meat in the bottom of the
ceramic pot.
6. Cooking times may di er by the amount of ingredients, room temperature and many other
factors.
7. Certain dishes may not cook if the room temperature is below 41°F or 5°C.
8. DO NOT use frozen meat or poultry in a Slow Cooker. Thaw any meat or poultry before slow
cooking.
9. Follow recommended cooking times.
10. When cooking is finished, you can serve the meal in the ceramic pot.
11. The sides of the metal housing of the Slow Cooker get very warm. The glass lid and the ceramic
pot are hot. Use oven mitts or pot holders to remove the ceramic pot.
12. Always use protective padding under ceramic pot before setting on table or countertop.
13. When removing the glass lid, tilt so that the opening faces away from you to avoid being
burned by the steam. Use a cloth or pot holder to hold the lid. Exercise caution to avoid burns.
14. Unplug the Slow Cooker when the cooking process is complete. Allow ceramic pot and glass
lid to cool completely before cleaning. The ceramic pot cannot withstand the shock of sudden
temperature changes.
15. Many recipes call for cooking all day. You can also prepare the recipe the night before by
placing all ingredients in the ceramic pot, covering and refrigerating overnight. In the morning,
simply place the ceramic pot in the Slow Cooker and select the time and temperature setting.
16. DO NOT use the ceramic pot for storage of foods.
17. DO NOT reheat foods in the Slow Cooker. Do not set heated unit with food on a nished wood
table. Use hot pads.
CAUTION
Be careful when adding additional liquids to ceramic pot. NEVER add cold liquids as
this might cause the ceramic pot to crack. Always warm the liquids before adding.
