[. . . ] IF THE POWER CORD BECOMES DAMAGED THE UNIT CANNOT BE REPAIRED. Please read and retain these instructions for future reference Page: 2 USING YOUR SLOW COOKER Before using your Slow Cooker for the first time it is good practice to wash the ceramic crock first. Simply wash with warm soapy water, rinse and dry. Your Slow Cooker is now ready for it's first use. Place the base on a dry, level, heat resistant surface, away from the counter edge. [. . . ] · Fresh or thawed fish and seafood fall apart during long hours of cooking. To avoid this, add these ingredients about an hour before serving. · Because milk, soured cream and natural cheese break down during long hours of cooking, add these ingredients just before serving or substitute with undiluted condensed creamed canned soups or evaporated milk. Processed cheese tends to give better results than naturally aged cheese. · Rice and pasta may either be cooked separately or added, uncooked, during the last hour of cooking time. If added uncooked, make sure that there are at least 2 cups (half litre) of liquid in the cooking pot. Stir occasionally to prevent pieces from sticking together. · An extra hour of cooking won't ruin your recipe so don't worry if you get home a little later. Your meal will not be spoiled.
