FAQs
Can I put the ceramic pot directly on a stovetop?
No, the ceramic pot is designed specifically for use within the slow cooker base only.
Is it safe to leave the slow cooker on while I am at work?
Yes, slow cookers are designed to operate safely while unattended, provided the unit is on a stable, heat-resistant surface and away from flammable materials.
Can I use the Keep Warm setting to cook food?
The Keep Warm setting is intended only to maintain the temperature of food that has already been cooked through; it is not hot enough to safely cook raw ingredients.
What is the power consumption of the unit?
The slow cooker operates with a 320W power output.
Does the exterior base get hot?
The main body of the unit will become warm during operation, so it should be handled with care, though the handles are designed to stay cool.
What should I do if I chip the ceramic pot?
If the ceramic pot becomes chipped or cracked, it is recommended to stop using it as it may no longer heat evenly and could be a safety hazard.
Troubleshooting
Food is not cooking fast enough
Ensure the lid is properly seated and avoid removing it frequently, as each time the lid is opened, heat escapes.
The unit does not heat up
Verify that the power cable is firmly inserted into both the wall outlet and the base, and ensure the dial is clicked into one of the active positions.
Sticking or burning at the bottom
Ensure there is sufficient liquid in the pot, as slow cookers require moisture to generate the steam necessary for even cooking.
