CLEANING YOUR 6 QT. VERSATILITY™ COOKER

1.Press “POWER” to turn the appliance off. Unplug the cord from the outlet and allow the entire appliance (base, cooking pot, rack, cover) to cool completely before cleaning. Set the cooking pot and cover on a dry, heat-protective surface for gradual cooling. NOTE: Do not run cold water over hot glass cover as it may crack or shatter if cooled suddenly.

2.Wipe heating base and cord with a damp cloth.

3.The cooking pot, rack, and glass cover may be washed using warm, soapy water by hand or cleaned in the dishwasher. If dishwasher cleaning, avoid contact between pieces to prevent damage. The non-stick surface of the cooking pot must be reconditioned with cooking oil after it is cleaned in a dishwasher to restore the non-stick properties. Do not use metal scouring pads or cleansers as damage can occur. Wipe with distilled vinegar to remove water spots or mineral deposits. Rewash with warm, soapy water, rinse and dry.

Cleaning Heating Base: Always unplug cord from electrical outlet and allow base to cool completely before cleaning. With a spoon or baster, remove any fat or grease that has collected on the griddle surface. Wipe oil residue from base with paper towel. Wipe non-stick finish with a damp, soapy dishcloth or nylon-scouring pad recommended for non-stick finishes. Clean finish thoroughly, wiping base several times with a clean, damp cloth to remove soap residue.

If a tacky oil film forms on the non-stick finish of base, wipe with a dry cloth to remove. If this residue is not removed, it will adhere to the finish when reheated and become impossible to remove.
