HOW TO USE YOUR SMART-SET™  
SLOW COOKER  
BEFORE YOU USE YOUR SMART-SET™  
SLOW COOKER  
1. Prepare your ingredients according to the recipe and place them into  
the stoneware.  
Before you use your slow cooker, wash the lid, stoneware, temperature  
probe, and temperature probe housing in WARM, soapy water and dry  
thoroughly.  
2. Plug the heating base into a standard outlet.  
NEVER immerse the heating base in water or any other liquid.  
Note: Display will blink until you program your cooking mode. If more  
than 10 seconds pass between button presses, the display will clear and  
you must start again.  
ASSEMBLY  
1. Place stoneware into the heating base.  
3. Select the cooking mode you wish to use from the 4 options below.  
Note: Plug the temperature probe into the temperature probe jack  
2. Lower the lid horizontally down onto the stoneware. Be sure to align  
the lid hinge so that it slides down onto the base hinge.  
(See Figure 3a and 3b)  
ONLY if using Auto Cook Mode.

Important Information About the Temperature Probe  
Temperature probe is ONLY for use with Auto Cook Mode. Make sure  
it is inserted fully into the probe jack or Auto Cook Mode will not  
function correctly.  
1. Plug the temperature probe cord into the temperature probe jack on  
the heating base.  
2. Insert the temperature probe into the thickest piece of meat or center  
of dish without touching any bone or fat.  
Remove probe before cooking with other modes (they will not work  
with probe plugged in).  
• The notch in the stoneware allows the lid to close when temperature  
probe is plugged in.  
Do not remove probe from temperature probe jack while cooking or  
Auto Cook Mode will not function properly. Leave the temperature  
probe in the food throughout the cooking cycle.  
NOTE: If the probe is removed from the temperature probe jack during  
programming or cooking, the Auto Cook Mode must be reset. The slow  
cooker will beep and display PROB OUT until the temperature probe  
cord is plugged back into the temperature probe jack.  
CAUTION: Use oven mitts to remove the temperature probe from the  
food as it is HOT!  
3. Press the AUTO button to cycle through and select pre-set meat  
options from BEEF, POUL (poultry), PRK1 (bone-in pork), PRK2 (boneless  
pork), CHIL (chili), or STEW.  
4. Press the TEMP button to select LOW or HIGH.  
• WARM is ONLY for keeping already cooked food at the perfect serving  
temperature . DO NOT cook on the WARM setting.  
5. Press the START/STOP button to start cooking.  
• The upper display shows the pre-set meat selection, the lower  
display shows the internal temperature of the food, and the  
corresponding temperature selection illuminates.  
• When the internal temperature of the meat reaches the safe  
temperature, the slow cooker beeps once, the upper display shows  
“SIMR,” and the lower display counts down additional cooking time  
until the food reaches its optimal taste.  
• When the cook time expires, the slow cooker beeps twice, and the  
temperature shifts to WARM. The upper display shows WARM and  
the lower display is off.

SOUPS  
COOKING HINTS AND TIPS  
Some soup recipes call for large amounts of water. Add other soup  
ingredients to the slow cooker first then add water only to cover. If  
thinner soup is desired, add more liquid at serving time.  
MEATS  
PASTA AND RICE  
For best rice results, use long grain converted rice or a specialty rice  
as the recipe suggests. If the rice is not cooked completely after the  
1
2
suggested time, add an extra 1 to 1 / cups of liquid per cup of cooked  
Trim fat, rinse well, and pat meat dry with paper towels.  
rice and continue cooking for 20 to 30 minutes.  
Browning meat in a separate skillet or broiler allows fat to be drained  
off before slow cooking and also adds greater depth of flavor.  
Meat should be positioned so that it rests in the stoneware without  
touching the lid.  
For best pasta results, first partially cook the pasta in a pot of boiling  
water until just tender. Add the pasta to the Smart-Set™ slow cooker  
during the last 30 minutes of cook time.  
For smaller or larger cuts of meat, alter the amount of vegetables or

potatoes so that the stoneware is always / to / full.  
Beans must be softened completely before combining with sugar and/  
The size of the meat and the recommended cook times are just  
estimates and can vary depending upon the specific cut, type, and  
bone structure. Lean meats such as chicken or pork tenderloin tend to  
cook faster than meats with more connective tissue and fat such as  
beef chuck or pork shoulder. Cooking meat on the bone versus boneless  
will increase required cook times.  
or acidic foods. Sugar and acid have a hardening effect on beans and  
will prevent softening.  
Dried beans, especially red kidney beans, should be boiled before  
adding to a recipe.  
Fully cooked canned beans may be used as a substitute for dried beans.  
VEGETABLES  
Cut meat into smaller pieces when cooking with precooked foods such  
as beans or fruit, or light vegetables such as mushrooms, diced onion,  
eggplant, or finely minced vegetables. This enables all food to cook at  
the same rate.  
Many vegetables benefit from slow cooking and are able to develop  
their full flavor. They tend not to overcook in your slow cooker as they  
might in your oven or on your stovetop.  
When cooking frozen meats, at least 1 cup of warm liquid must first be  
added. The liquid will act as a “cushion” to prevent sudden temperature  
changes. An additional 4 hours on LOW or 2 hours on HIGH is typically  
required. For larger cuts of frozen meat, it may take much longer to  
defrost and tenderize.  
When cooking recipes with vegetables and meat, place vegetables in  
slow cooker before meat. Vegetables usually cook slower than meat in  
the slow cooker.  
Place vegetables near the sides or bottom of the stoneware to facilitate  
cooking.  
FISH  
HERBS AND SPICES  
Fish cooks quickly and should be added at the end of the cooking cycle  
Fresh herbs add flavor and color, but should be added at the end of the  
cooking cycle as the flavor will dissipate over long cook times.  
Ground and/or dried herbs and spices work well in slow cooking and  
may be added at the beginning.  
during last fifteen minutes to hour of cooking.  
LIQUID  
For best results and to prevent food from drying or burning, always  
ensure an adequate amount of liquid is used in the recipe.  
The flavor power of all herbs and spices can vary greatly depending on  
their particular strength and shelf life. Use herbs sparingly, taste at  
end of cook cycle and adjust seasonings just before serving.

occasionally to keep the sugars from scorching on the bottom of the  
pan.  
2. Preheat oven to 425ºF.

garlic cloves all around. Rub the pork with oil and season liberally with  
salt and freshly ground pepper. Place the pork on a rack and put in the  
oven for 25 minutes. The HIGH heat will sear the pork all around and  
give a nice crust.  
4. Place the pork in the stoneware and cover with the sauce. Cover; cook
