Cleaning Your Slow Cooker

1.Allow the entire unit (base, metal cooking pot, rack, cover) to cool completely before cleaning. Set metal cooking pot and cover on dry, heat-protective surface for gradual cooling. NOTE: Do not run cold water over hot glass cover as it may crack if cooled suddenly.

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

3.Metal cooking pot, rack and glass cover may be washed using hot 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 WASH PLASTIC COVER IN DISHWASHER AS IT MAY WARP AND NOT FIT COOKING POT PROPERLY. Use a non-abrasive cleanser or baking soda paste to remove stains. 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 hot soapy water, rinse and dry.

Condition Non-Stick Finish: Just before using base as a grill, condition the non- stick finish with a teaspoon of cooking oil. Wipe oil evenly over finish, leaving a light film of oil. DO NOT use shortening or butter to condition finish.

Clean After Grilling: 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 grill surface. Wipe oil residue from base with paper toweling. 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.
