offers Low and High temperature
settings for cooking. The Keep Warm
setting is for holding the prepared
recipe at a perfect serving temperature.
The Keep Warm setting should only
be used after a recipe has been
thoroughly cooked.
Food should not
be cooked or reheated on the Keep
Warm setting. If the food has been
cooked and then refrigerated it must be
reheated on Low or High, then switched
to Keep Warm.

Cool Touch!

lid knobs of the slow cooker base
are cool to the touch. Other areas,
