CARE AND CLEANING

•ALWAYS turn your slow cooker off, unplug it from the electrical outlet, and allow it to cool before cleaning.

•The lid and stoneware can be washed in the dishwasher or with hot, soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaning compounds or scouring pads. A cloth, sponge, or rubber spatula will usually remove the residue. To remove water spots and other stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner or vinegar.

•As with any fine ceramic, the stoneware will not withstand sudden temperature changes. Do not wash the stoneware with cold water when it is hot.

•The outside of the heating base may be cleaned with a soft cloth and WARM, soapy water. Wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

•The temperature probe can be washed in WARM, soapy water and wiped dry.

•The temperature probe housing is removable for cleaning. Simply slide housing up to remove.

•The housing is dishwasher safe (top rack only), or can be washed in WARM, soapy water and wiped dry.

CAUTION: Never immerse the heating base in water or other liquid.

•No other servicing should be performed.
