Troubleshooting Cannot select TEMP and/or HOURS settings. • Is unit plugged in? • Test that the electrical outlet is working with a lamp in known working order. Food is undercooked. • Was food cooked on Warm setting? Do not cook on Warm setting; always cook on Low or High heat settings. • Did you select Low heat setting, but used a cooking time based on High heat setting? • Did you have the glass lid placed correctly on slow cooker? • Was food cooked in the food warmer? Do not use food warmer to cook food. Food isn't done after cooking amount of time recommended in my recipe. • This can be due to voltage variations (which are commonplace everywhere) or altitude. Slight fluctuations in power do not have a noticeable effect on most appliances. However, they can alter cooking times in slow cooker by extending cooking times. Allow sufficient time and select appropriate heat setting. You will learn through experience if a shorter or longer time is needed. My meal was overcooked. Why? • Was removable crock at least half full? The slow cooker has been designed to thoroughly cook food in a filled removable crock. If removable crock is only half-filled, check for doneness 1 to 2 hours earlier than recipe time. • Did you select hours based on a Low heat recipe? • Foods will continue to increase in temperature after desired temperature has been reached. 9
