HOW TO USE YOUR SLOW COOKER
USAGE NOTES:
• If you suspect that the power has gone out, the food may be unsafe
to eat. If you are unaware of how long the power was out, we suggest
you discard the food inside.
• For recipes that require a range of cook times, select the mid-range
time. For example, for a recipe calling for a cooking time of 7 to 9
hours on LOW, cook for 8 hours.
• To avoid over or under-cooking, always fill the stoneware
½ to ¾
full
and conform to recommended cook times.
• Do not overfill stoneware. To prevent spillover, do not fill stoneware
higher than
¾
full.
• Always cook with the lid on for the recommended time. Do not
remove the lid during the first two hours of cooking.
• Always wear oven mitts when handling the lid or unit.
• Unplug when cooking is done and before cleaning.
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR SLOW COOKER
• ALWAYS unplug your slow cooker and allow it to cool before cleaning.
• After emptying, fill with warm soapy water to loosen food remains.
Do not use abrasive cleaners. A cloth, sponge or rubber spatula will
usually remove any residue. To remove water spots or other stains,
use a non-abrasive cleaner or vinegar.
•
As with any fine ceramic, the stoneware and lid will not withstand
sudden temperature changes. Do not wash the stoneware or lid with
cold water when they are 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.
CAUTION: Never immerse the heating base in water or other liquid.
