INTRODUCTION  
Get ready to enjoy the easiest  
homemade dinners ever…perfectly  
cooked, warm and waiting when  
you walk in the door. Once you  
plug in your new Cuisinart®  
extension cords are available and  
may be used if care is exercised.  
If a long extension cord is used,  
the marked electrical rating of the  
extension cord should be at least  
as great as the electrical rating of  
the appliance. The longer cord  
should be arranged so that it will  
not drape over the countertop or  
tabletop where it can be pulled  
on by children or tripped over  
unintentionally.  
Programmable Slow Cooker and  
read our instructions, you’ll see  
how easy it is to use – and how  
many different things you can cook!  
With a slow cooker, all the work is  
done ahead of time, so dinnertime  
is as relaxing for the cook as it is  
for the diners. Enjoy!  
NOTICE  
This appliance has a polarized plug  
(one prong is wider than the other).  
As a safety feature, this plug will fit  
into a polarized outlet only one  
way. If the plug does not fit fully in  
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still  
does not fit, contact a qualified  
electrician. Do not attempt to  
defeat this safety feature.

OPERATION  
Your Cuisinart® Slow Cooker cooks  
food automatically once you set the  
time and the desired cooking  
mode. When time expires, the unit  
automatically switches to the Warm  
setting and the Warm indicator light  
illuminates. When cooking time and  
mode are set, the unit will perform  
those functions until the cooking  
time expires or the unit is manually  
turned off.  
• After setting time, timer display  
and On/Off indicator will still  
flash. Please proceed to setting  
the cooking mode

counter.

8. Setting Cooking Modes  
Three cooking modes, Simmer,  
Low and High, give you the  
opportunity to prepare a wider  
variety of dishes. You can adapt  
many recipes to slow down the  
cooking time, or speed it up, to  
coordinate meals to your  
schedule.  
You will usually want to use the  
Simmer or Low setting for  
recipes that cook longer. If you’re  
starting a dish later in the day,  
select the High setting to ensure  
that your food is cooked, warm,  
and ready when you’d like to eat.
