Troubleshooting
Slow cooker not turning on
Check that the power cord is securely plugged into both the appliance and a working electrical outlet. Ensure the manual dial is set to 'Low', 'High', or 'Keep Warm'.
Food is not cooking evenly
Ensure ingredients are cut into uniform sizes. Avoid overfilling the bowl, as this can affect heat distribution. Stir ingredients halfway through cooking if possible, though the glass lid minimizes the need for this.
Ceramic bowl cracked or chipped
Discontinue use immediately. Contact customer support for a replacement bowl.
Excessive steam escaping
Ensure the glass lid is properly seated on the ceramic bowl. Minor steam escape from the edges is normal, but a significant amount may indicate the lid is not sealed correctly.
