CLEANING & STORAGE
HOW TO USE
1. Unplug the unit and allow it to cool before cleaning.
2. Wash the Stoneware Bowl and Lid in warm, soapy water. Rinse and
dry. If food sticks to the surface, fill the Bowl with warm, soapy water
and let it soak for a while before cleaning. Do not submerge the
Stoneware Bowl or let it sit in standing water as it may absorb water
through the unglazed bottom. Absorbed water can lead to uneven
temperatures when heated and potential cracking.
3. If scouring is necessary, use a nylon pad or brush with liquid detergent
or non-abrasive cleanser on the Bowl. Both the Bowl and Lid are also
dishwasher-safe.
4. Wipe the Base with a soft, damp cloth or sponge. NEVER IMMERSE
THE BASE IN WATER.
5. Be sure all parts are clean, cool, and dry before storing. Store the unit
in a clean, dry place. Use the cord wrap at the bottom of the Base to
store the cord.
Using a Slow Cooker is easy but different from conventional cooking.
Follow the recommended guidelines in this book. Times listed in each
recipe are approximate and should serve only as guidelines.
1. Follow the recipe by filling the Bowl with food and ingredients. Place
the Bowl into the Base, cover it with the Lid, and plug the unit in.
2. Turn the Control Dial to Auto or High and note the time the Cooker
started.
3. Be sure to turn the Control Dial to Off after cooking.
HELPFUL HINTS
1. Be sure to follow proper food safety practices when using this slow
cooker.
2. The slow cooker should always be at least
1
2 full for best cooking
results. It should never be more than about
3
4 full (18 cups total), or
about 1
1
4-inches from the top rim.
3. Never store foods to be cooked the next day in the Stoneware Bowl in
the refrigerator overnight. It will take too long to heat the Bowl up,
prior to the food starting to cook.
