USING THE CORNINGWARE® COOKING POT AND PYREX® LID

This slow cooker is equipped with a CORNINGWARE cooking pot. Made of a special glass- ceramic material that withstands temperature extremes, CORNINGWARE cookware can be used for any type of cooking: rangetop, microwave, broiling and baking. It can go directly from the freezer or refrigerator to a rangetop, preheated oven or microwave. The lid is made of PYREX brand glass, one of the most versatile of all ovenware materials. With proper use and maintenance, these products will give many years of service and help to make this slow cooker your most reliable and convenient meal-maker.

IMPORTANT: ALL GLASS AND GLASS-CERAMIC MATERIALS ARE BREAKABLE, and care should be taken in handling. Accidental breakage from impact is not covered by warranty.

To avoid damage and obtain the maximum benefit from your CORNINGWARE cooking pot with PYREX lid, be sure to observe the following:

•Foods prepared in the CORNINGWARE cooking pot can be stored ahead of time in refrigerator or freezer and placed directly in slow cooker base when cooking begins. NEVER heat the cooking pot when it is empty.

•To avoid damage to the interior of the cooking pot, always use cooking tools made of plastic, rubber, wood or nylon. DO NOT use metal tools, as they will leave grey marks on CORNINGWARE cookware.

•Cooking pot and glass lid are microwave-compatible. When removing them from microwave, be sure to use potholders or oven mitts.
