CLEANING

CAUTION: NEVER IMMERSE THE BASE UNIT OR CORD IN WATER OR OTHER LIQUID.

1.Always unplug and cool the Slow Cooker completely before cleaning.

2.Both the stoneware and the glass lid may be cleaned in the dishwasher. To avoid damage, position the stoneware in dishwasher rack so that it will not hit other items during cleaning.

3.If food sticks to the stoneware, fill with warm soapy water and allow to soak before cleaning. A paste of baking soda may be used with a plastic scouring pad.

4.To remove water spots or mineral deposits, wipe the stoneware with distilled white vinegar. For difficult stains, pour a small amount into the stoneware and allow to soak. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

5.Wipe interior and exterior of the base unit with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Never use abrasive cleansers to clean the base unit, as they may damage the surfaces.
