USING THE STONEWARE BOWL & LID

IMPORTANT: All glass and ceramic materials are BREAKABLE. Always handle the Stoneware Bowl and Lid carefully. Avoid hitting them against hard surfaces. Accidental breakage from impact is not covered by the warranty. For maximum benefit from the Stoneware Bowl and Lid, follow these tips:

•To avoid damage to the interior of the Stoneware Bowl, always use utensils made of plastic, rubber, or wood. DO NOT use metal utensils, as they may leave grey marks or may scratch the cookware.

•Do not touch the sides of the Slow Cooker Base while food is cooking. Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing the Lid or the Stoneware Bowl from the Base after cooking. To avoid burns from escaping steam, tilt the Lid away from your hands and face when removing it.

•Do not set the Stoneware Bowl directly onto a countertop or table; use a trivet or hot pad.

•Do not pour cold water into a hot Stoneware Bowl. NEVER heat the Stoneware Bowl when it is empty.

•Keep the Lid away from a broiler, microwave browning element, toaster oven coils, hot stovetop burners, oven heat vents or any other direct heat source. DO NOT PLACE A HOT LID on cold or wet surfaces, as this may cause it to crack or shatter.

•If the Lid cracks, do not use it. Discard it and get a replacement. A damaged lid may break without warning.

HOW TO USE

Follow the recommended procedures in this book. Times listed in each recipe are approximate and should serve only as guidelines.

1.Follow the recipe by filling the Bowl with food and ingredients. Place the Bowl into the Base, cover it with the Lid, and plug the unit in.

2.Turn the Control Dial to Auto or High and note the time the Cooker started.

3.Be sure to turn the Control Dial to Off after cooking.

CLEANING & STORAGE

1.Unplug the unit and allow it to cool before cleaning.

2.Wash the Stoneware Bowl and Lid in warm, soapy water. Rinse and dry. If food sticks to the surface, fill the Bowl with warm, soapy water and let it soak before cleaning. Do not submerge the Stoneware Bowl or let it sit in standing water as it may absorb water through the unglazed bottom. Absorbed water can lead to uneven temperatures when heated and potential cracking.

3.If scouring is necessary, use a nylon pad or brush with liquid detergent or non-abrasive cleanser. The Lid and Bowl are dishwasher-safe.

4.Wipe the Base with a soft, damp cloth or sponge. NEVER IMMERSE THE BASE IN WATER.

5.Be sure all parts are clean and dry before storing. Store in a dry place. Use the cord wrap at the bottom of the Base to store the cord.
