Rival Smart-SetTM Usage Notes, Stoneware and Lid, Heating Base, Temperature Probe and Housing

Usage Notes

•If there is a power outage, when the power is restored the display and lights blink. All slow cooker settings have been cleared and must be reset. However, the food may be unsafe to eat. If you are unaware of how long the power was out, we suggest you discard the food.

•For recipes that require a range of times, select the time closest to the setting on your slow cooker. For instance, to cook a recipe calling for a cooking time of 7 to 9 hours on LOW (I), set your slow cooker to 8 hours.

•To avoid over- or under-cooking, always fill the stoneware 1/2 to 3/4 full to conform to recommended cook times (with the exception of certain cakes and custards, and as guided otherwise in our slow cooker recipes). Do not overfill the stoneware.

•Always cook with the lid on for the recommended time. Do not remove the lid during the first two hours of cooking.

•Always wear oven mitts when handling the lid.

•Unplug when cooking is done and before cleaning.

•Do not store foods in the slow cooker stoneware.

•Do not reheat foods in your slow cooker.

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

CARE AND CLEANING

Stoneware and Lid

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

•The removable stoneware and lid go safely into the dishwasher, or may be washed in hot, soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaning compounds; a cloth, a sponge, or rubber spatula will usually remove the residue. To remove water spots and other stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner or vinegar.

•Use hot water to wash your stoneware right after cooking. Do not add cold water if the stoneware is hot. As with any fine ceramic, the stoneware will not withstand sudden temperature changes and could crack.

•If the stoneware has been preheated or is hot to the touch, do not add cold foods. Do not preheat your slow cooker unless specified in the recipe. The stoneware should be at room temperature when adding hot or cold foods.

Heating Base

•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.

Temperature Probe and Housing

•The temperature probe can be washed in warm, soapy water and wiped dry.

•The temperature probe housing is removable for cleaning. Simply slide housing up to remove.

•The housing is dishwasher safe (top rack only), or can be washed in warm, soapy water and wiped dry.
