HOW TO USE YOUR SLOW COOKER
1. There is one temperature setting. When plugged in, the temperature
of this unit is equivalent to the LOW setting on Crock-Pot
®
slow cookers
that have HIGH and LOW settings.
2. Frozen foods such as vegetables and shrimp may be used as part of a
recipe. However, do not cook frozen meats (such as roasts or chickens)
unless you first add at least 1 cup of warm liquid. The liquid will act as
a “cushion” to prevent sudden changes in temperature. Cook recipes
containing frozen meats an additional 4 to 6 hours.
3. Always cook with the lid on.
4. Follow recommended cooking times.
5. Do not use slow cooker stoneware for storage of food.
6. Do not reheat foods in your slow cooker.
7. Unplug unit when cooking is done and before cleaning.
8. Removable stoneware is ovenproof and microwave safe. Do not use
plastic lids in microwave or conventional oven. Do not use removable
stoneware on gas or electric burners or under broiler.
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR SLOW COOKER
Unplug unit. CAUTION: Never submerge heating unit in water or other liquid.
1. Fill stoneware with hot or warm soapy water to loosen food remains.
Do not use abrasive compounds — a cloth, sponge or rubber spatula
will usually remove the residue. If necessary, a plastic cleaning pad may
be used. Use a non-abrasive cleaner (such as Bon-Ami
®
Polishing
Cleanser) or vinegar to remove water spots or other stains.
2. The outside case may be cleaned with a soft cloth and warm soapy
water. Wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
3. The lid may be washed in the top rack of the dishwasher.
CARE OF STONEWARE
As with any fine ceramic, the stoneware bowl will not withstand the shock
of sudden temperature changes.
• If the stoneware has been preheated or is hot to the touch, do not put
in cold foods. Do not preheat slow cooker before using unless specified
in the recipe. The stoneware should be at room temperature before
adding hot foods.
•To wash your stoneware right after cooking, use hot water. Do not pour
in cold water if the stoneware is hot.
