BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

Please check all packaging material carefully before discarding. Accessory parts may be contained within the packaging material.

Before using, wash the cooking pot, cover, and roasting rack as directed in the “Cleaning your 6 Qt. Versatility™ Cooker” section of this manual. Wipe the non-stick finish of the slow cooker heating base with a damp cloth and dry.

Using paper towel, wipe the non-stick interior of the cooking pot with a teaspoon of vegetable oil. This will condition the non-stick finish to prevent sticking. NOTE: Do NOT use shortening or butter to condition the finish. Leave a light film of oil on the finish. The cooking pot’s non-stick interior will need to be reconditioned after each time the cooking pot is 1) cleaned in an automatic dishwasher; 2) the finish is treated with a special cleaner; 3) the finish is cleaned with lemon juice or vinegar to remove a mineral film; or 4) when sticking becomes a problem during use. DO NOT CONDITION THE NON-STICK SURFACE OF THE HEATING BASE BEFORE USING IT AS A SLOW COOKER. The non-stick finish of heating base should only be conditioned before it is used as a griddle.
