Care and Cleaning

1.Check that the slow cooker is switched off and unplugged before cleaning.

2.Allow the slow cooker to cool completely before cleaning.

NOTE: Do not immerse the metal housing in water.

NOTE: Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.

3.Wipe the metal housing and cord with a clean damp cloth.

4.Wash the ceramic pot, glass lid and silicone lid seal in hot soapy water, then rinse and dry. The ceramic pot,

glass lid and silicone lid seal can also be washed in the dishwasher. To wash the silicone lid seal in a dishwasher, remove it from the glass lid.

NOTE: When cooking very thick mixtures, such as polenta or many desserts, the ceramic pot may be lightly coated with no-stick cooking spray before cooking. This coating will help make cleanup easier after cooking.

To clean white residue from the ceramic pot

Small amounts of calcium in wash water may leave a white residue in the ceramic pot after it has been washed. To clean the residue, follow this procedure:

1.Pour a small amount of vinegar into the pot and dilute it with an equal amount of water.

2.Wipe the inside surfaces of the pot with a soft pad. Be sure to wipe the vinegar/water solution sufficiently over all the affected areas.

3.Empty the pot, rinse with water, and dry with a soft cloth or towel.

To eliminate residual odors on the lid seal

1.Remove the seal from the lid.

2.In a bleach safe container, add 1 tbs (15 mL) of regular strength liquid bleach to 1 gal. (3.8 L) of warm tap water.

3.Place the seal in the diluted solution and soak for 3 hours.

4.Rinse thoroughly and wipe down the seal with a dry cloth.

5.Allow the seal to completely air dry.

6.Fit the seal back onto the cleaned lid. IMPORTANT: Wear rubber gloves when cleaning. Refer to the bleach manufacturer's instructions for proper use.

Fitting the removable Silicone Lid Seal back onto the lid

After removing the silicone lid seal to clean it, and allowing it to dry thoroughly, here is a quick way to put it back on:

1.On a table or countertop, place the lid upside down with the length of the lid facing away from you.

2.Straighten out any twists or kinks in the seal, and place the seal over the lid to make sure the rounded corners of the seal match up with the rounded corners of the lid.

3.Start fitting the seal around the far side of the lid and work toward the other end.
