HOW TO USE YOUR SLOW COOKER (CONT.)

•Always cook, with the lid on, for the recommended time. Do not remove the lid during the first two hours of cooking, to allow the heat to build up efficiently.

•Always wear oven mitts when handling the lid or stoneware.

•Unplug when cooking is done and before cleaning.

•Removable stoneware is ovenproof and microwave safe. Do not use removable stoneware on gas or electric burner or under broiler. Refer to chart below.

•ALWAYS turn your slow cooker off, unplug it from the electrical outlet, and allow it to cool before cleaning.

•The lid and stoneware can be washed in the dishwasher or with hot, soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaning compounds or scouring pads. A cloth, sponge, or rubber spatula will usually remove residue. To remove water spots and other stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner or vinegar.

•As with any fine ceramic, the stoneware and lid will not withstand sudden temperature changes. Do not wash the stoneware or lid with cold water when they are hot.

•The outside of the heating base may be cleaned with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water. Wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

CAUTION: Never immerse the heating base in water or other liquid.

• No other servicing should be performed.
