HOW TO USE YOUR CROCK-POT®SLOW COOKER (CONT.)

USAGE NOTES:

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

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

•To avoid over or under-cooking, always fill the stoneware ½ to ¾ full and conform to recommended cook times

•Do not overfill stoneware. To prevent spillover, do not fill stoneware higher than ¾ full.

•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.

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR SLOW COOKER

•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.
