IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
CAUTION: This appliance generates heat and escaping steam
during use. Proper precautions must be taken to prevent the risk
of burns, fires or other damage to persons or property.
I Never use the stoneware liner on a gas or electric cooktop or on
an open flame.
I Lift off Lid carefully to avoid scalding, and allow water to drip
into stoneware liner.
CAUTION: To prevent damage or shock hazard, do not cook in
base unit. Cook only in stoneware liner provided.
CAUTION: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the
risk of personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or
tripping over a longer cord. Extension cords are available from
local hardware stores and may be used if care is exercised in their
use. If an extension cord is required, special care and caution is
necessary. The cord must also be: (1) marked with an electrical
rating of 125 V. and at least 10 A., 1250 W., and (2) arranged so
that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it
can be pulled on by children or tripped over accidentally.
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.

MAXSC4W Use and Care Guide
Before Using Your Slow Cooker For The First Time
I Carefully unpack the Slow Cooker.
I Wash stoneware liner and glass lid in warm, soapy water.
Rinse well and dry thoroughly.
I Wipe interior and exterior surfaces of the base unit
with a soft, moist cloth to remove dust particles collected
during packing and handling. NEVER IMMERSE THE BASE
UNIT IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.
I It is necessary to operate the Slow Cooker once before initial use.
After cleaning the Slow Cooker, place stoneware liner inside the
base unit, then pour 22 cups of water inside the stoneware liner
and cover with glass lid. Plug Slow Cooker into electrical wall
outlet and set control dial to HIGH. Allow Slow Cooker to operate
for approximately 30 minutes. You will notice a slight odor; this is
normal and should quickly disappear.
After 30 minutes, turn control dial to OFF and unplug from
electrical wall outlet. Allow to cool for about 20 minutes, then
uncover, remove stoneware liner from the base unit and pour out
water. Rinse the stoneware liner, dry thoroughly and place it back
inside the base unit.
Introduction To Slow Cooking
Slow cooking occurs at temperatures just around boiling point. Since
liquids do not boil very quickly at this temperature, there is just a
little steam and evaporation, foods do not stick and virtually no
stirring is required.
The Slow Cooker can operate on LOW all day and night if required.
When cooking on HIGH, it is very much like a covered pot on the
stove top. Foods will cook in two-thirds the time required for
LOW cooking. Additional liquid may be required as foods DO
boil on HIGH.
NOTE: Lid must not be removed while cooking on
LOW setting.
How To Use The AUTO Feature
The AUTO feature allows you to prepare meals in less time than it
would take on LOW, but not as quickly as on HIGH, allowing more
time for unsupervised cooking. When set on AUTO, the Slow Cooker
begins cooking on HIGH. Once the HIGH temperature is reached, it
then switches automatically to LOW. When using the AUTO cycle, you
are able to initially heat the food faster, shortening the standard
cooking time required for LOW by approximately 25%.
Cooking In Your Slow Cooker
1. Prepare recipe according to instructions.
2. Place food in stoneware liner and cover with glass lid. Do not fill the
Slow Cooker to the brim with food. Always cook with the Lid on
and the stoneware liner in position. Remember that frequent lifting
of the Lid during cooking delays the cooking time. When cooking a
meat and vegetable combination, place the vegetables in the bottom
of the stoneware liner first. Then add the meat and other
ingredients. Before cooking frozen food, add some warm liquid.
CAUTION: IF THE LINER IS HOT, DO NOT ADD COLD
FOOD. The stoneware liner CANNOT withstand the shock of
sudden temperature changes.
3. Plug cord into a 120V AC outlet.
4. Select temperature setting: LOW, HIGH or AUTO.
5. Cook according to recipe instructions.
CAUTION: Base unit will get very warm during cooking. This is
where the two heating elements are located. Use pot holders or oven
mitts when moving or handling the unit.
6. When cooking time is complete, turn the control dial to the OFF
position, and unplug the Slow Cooker from the electrical wall outlet.
Remove glass lid.
CAUTION: To remove the glass lid, grasp the knob and lift
the Lid just a bit — just enough to allow steam to escape — before
completely removing the Lid.
7. Allow a few seconds for all steam to escape, then carefully remove
the stoneware liner from inside the base unit.

CAUTION: Use oven mitts to grasp stoneware liner handles to
remove stoneware liner from base unit. (See Figure 2.)
CAUTION: If you are moving the Slow Cooker, grasp the unit by
the base unit handles; use pot holders or oven mitts. Even when
switched OFF and unplugged, the Slow Cooker remains hot for
some time after using. Set aside and allow unit to cool before
cleaning or storing.
Converting Standard Recipes to Slow Cooking
I Vegetables such as carrots, potatoes, turnips and beets require
longer cooking time than many meats. Be sure to place them on
the bottom of the stoneware liner and cover them with liquid.
I If possible, substitute condensed soups for fresh milk or yogurt.
I Evaporated milk may be added at the start of cooking.
I Add fresh milk or yogurt during the last 2 hours.
I Rice, noodles and pasta are not recommended for long
cooking periods. Cook them separately and then add to the
Slow Cooker during the last 30 minutes, or follow Slow Cooker
recipe directions.
Hints for Slow Cooking
I When cooking in a Slow Cooker, remember that liquids do not
boil away like they do in conventional cooking. Reduce the
amount of liquid in any recipe that is not designed for a Slow
Cooker. The exceptions to this rule would be rice and soups.
Remember, liquids can always be added at a later time if
necessary. If a recipe results in too much liquid at the end of the
cooking time, remove the lid and turn the control dial to HIGH.
After about 30-45 minutes, the amount of liquid should be less.
I Meats will not brown during the slow cooking process. Brown
meats using a small amount of oil in very hot skillet. Stir as each
side of the meat browns. Place browned meats into the stoneware
liner for use in slow cooking recipes.
I High fat meats can result in dishes with less flavor. Pre-cooking
or browning will help reduce the amount of fat and help to
preserve the color. The higher the fat content, the less liquid
needed. If cooking meat with a high fat content, use thick onion
slices under it so that the meat will not sit and cook in the fat. If
necessary, use a slice of bread, a spoon, or a straining spoon to
skim off excess fat from the top of foods before serving.
I Foods cut into uniform pieces will cook faster and more evenly
than foods left whole such as roast or poultry.
I Whole herbs and splices flavor better in slow cooking than
crushed or ground.
