Caring For Your Slow Cooker

Avoid sudden, extreme temperature changes. For example, do not place the hot glass lid or stoneware liner into cold water or onto a wet surface.

Avoid hitting the stoneware liner or glass lid against the faucet or other hard surfaces.

Do not use stoneware liner or glass lid if chipped, cracked, or severely scratched.

This slow cooker requires little maintenance. It contains no user serviceable parts.

Do not try to repair it yourself. Any servicing requiring disassembly other than cleaning must be performed by a qualified appliance repair technician.

Cleaning Your Slow Cooker

Caution: Never immerse cooking base or cord in water or other liquids.

1.Always unplug and allow to cool completely before cleaning.

2.Wash stoneware liner and glass lid in warm, soapy water. If food sticks to the stoneware liner, fill with warm, soapy water and allow to soak before cleaning with a plastic scouring pad.

Note: Both stoneware liner and glass lid are dishwasher-safe.

3.Rinse and dry thoroughly.

4.Wipe interior and exterior of the cooking base with a soft, slightly damp cloth or sponge.

Important: Never use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads to clean the cooking base, as they may damage the surfaces.

2.Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance; keep it loosely coiled.
