CROCK AND LID: PRECAUTIONS AND INFORMATION

Please handle crock and lid carefully to ensure long life.

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

Avoid hitting crock or lid against faucet or other hard surfaces.

Do not use crock or lid if chipped, cracked, or severely scratched.

Do not use abrasive cleansers or metal scouring pads.

The bottom of the crock is very rough and can damage the countertop. Use caution.

The crock and lid can become very hot. Use caution. Do not place directly on any unprotected surface or countertop.

The crock is microwave-safe and oven-proof, but never heat crock when empty. Never place lid on a burner or stove top. Do not place lid in a microwave oven, conventional oven, or on stove top.

REMOVING LID AND CROCK

When removing lid, tilt so that opening faces away from you to avoid being burned by steam.

The sides of the slow cooker’s base get very warm because the heating elements are located here. Use handles on base if necessary. Use oven mitts to remove crock.
