IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons, including the following:

Read all instructions.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge unless they are closely supervised and instructed concerning the use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs. Care must be taken, as burns can occur from touching hot parts or from spilled, hot liquid.
To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plug, or lid assembly in water or other liquid.
Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow cooling before putting on or taking off parts.
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged supply cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Supply cord replacement and repairs must be conducted by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard. Contact Customer Service for information on examination, repair, or adjustment as set forth in the Limited Warranty.
The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
Do not use outdoors.
Do not let the cord hang over the edge of the table or counter, or touch hot surfaces, including the stove.
Do not place on or near a hot gas or an electric burner, or in a heated oven.
Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
To disconnect the appliance, turn OFF; then remove the plug from the wall outlet. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.
CAUTION! To prevent damage or shock hazard, do not cook in base. Cook only in the removable crock.
Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as adding refrigerated foods into a heated removable crock.
Intended for countertop use only.
WARNING! Spilled food can cause serious burns. Keep appliances and cords away from children. Never drape the cord over the edge of the counter, never use an outlet below the counter, and never use it with an extension cord.
Vessel may remain hot after the unit is turned off.
Do not use appliances other than intended use.
CAUTION! HOT SURFACE. The temperature of accessible surfaces may be high during and after the operation.
Never rest the air fry lid directly on the countertop or supporting surface; always rest on the provided stand.
Always read and understand the Important Safeguards provided with the slow cooker approved for use with the air fry lid.
Do not clean the air fry lid with metal scouring pads. Pieces can break off the pad and touch electrical parts, creating a risk of electrical shock.
Do not operate the appliance by means of an external timer or separate remote-control system.
Do not place the air fry lid on the crock when the slow cooker is plugged in.

Other Consumer Safety Information

This appliance is intended for household use only.
This appliance is only intended for the preparation, cooking, and serving of foods. This appliance is not intended for use with any nonfood materials or products.
WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is provided with a grounded (3-prong) plug to reduce the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a grounded outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plugin any way or by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.

Lid: Precautions and Information

Please handle Lid carefully to ensure long life.
Avoid hitting Lid against hard surfaces.
Do not use Lid if cracked or otherwise damaged.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or metal scouring pads.
Lid can become very hot. Use caution. Do not place directly on any unprotected surface or countertop.
Do not place Air Fryer Lid in a microwave oven, conventional oven, refrigerator, or on stovetop.

A short power-supply cord is used to reduce the risk resulting from it being grabbed by children, becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord.

Removing Lid
When removing the Air Fry Lid from Crock, lift using the Air Fry Lid Handle. The lid gets very warm because the heating elements are located here. Place Lid on Air Fry Lid Stand before stirring or turning food, and after cooking, the cycle ends.

Care and Cleaning

Unplug. Set up Lid Stand.
Lift Air Fry Lid by Handle and place on Lid Stand. Cool completely. NOTE: Leave Crock in Slow Cooker Base to cool due to high temperatures when air frying. Letting Crock cool guards against rapid cooldown that may cause damage.
WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard. Disconnect power before cleaning. Do not immerse cord, plug, air fry lid or slow cooker base in any liquid
Wipe the top of Air Fry Lid with a damp towel and dry.
Wipe the underside of Air Fry Lid with a damp, soapy cloth. Then wipe with a clean damp cloth and dry.
DO NOT immerse Air Fry Lid in water or use any abrasive cleansers or pads.

Tips for Slow Cooking

Removable Crock should be at least half-filled for best results. If only half-filled, check for doneness 1 to 2 hours earlier than a recipe.
Stirring is not necessary when slow cooking. Removing the Glass Lid results in major heat loss and cooking time may need to be extended. However, if cooking on HIGH, you may want to stir occasionally.
If cooking soups or stews, leave a 2-inch (5-cm) space between the top of Removable Crock and food so the recipe can come to a simmer.
Many recipes call for cooking all day. If your morning schedule doesn’t allow time to prepare a recipe, prepare it the night before. Place all ingredients in Removable Crock, cover with lid, and refrigerate overnight. In the morning, simply place Removable Crock in Slow Cooker.
Some foods are not suited for extended cooking in a Slow Cooker. Pasta, seafood, milk, cream, or sour cream should be added 2 hours before serving. Evaporated milk or condensed soups are perfect for slow cooking.
The higher the fat content of meat, the less liquid is needed. If cooking meat with high-fat content, place thick onion slices underneath so the meat will not sit on (and cook in) fat.
Slow cookers allow for very little evaporation. If making your favorite soup, stew, or sauce, reduce the liquid called for in the original recipe. If too thick, liquid can be added later.
If cooking a vegetable-type casserole, there will need to be liquid in the recipe to prevent scorching on the sides of Removable Crock.

Food Safety Tips

Do not use frozen, uncooked meat in a Slow Cooker. Thaw any meat or poultry before slow cooking.
Visit www.foodsafety.gov for more information on safe internal cooking temperatures.
To store leftovers after cooking, do not place the entire Removable Crock in the refrigerator since the contents will take too long to cool. Instead, divide leftovers into smaller containers and place them into the refrigerator.
Never allow undercooked or raw meat to sit at room temperature in Slow Cooker. Once the meat is placed into Removable Crock, it should be cooked immediately (unless prepping Slow Cooker the night before, where Crock should be placed into the refrigerator).

Troubleshooting

Appliance is not plugged in. Plug into an outlet.

Buttons were pressed and Air Fry Lid isn’t working.
