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:
CAUTION: Never immerse the heating base in water or other liquid.
• No other servicing should be performed.
