1. Allow the entire unit (base, cooking vessel, cover) to cool completely before
cleaning. Set cooking vessel and cover on dry, heat-protective surface for
gradual cooling. NOTE: Do not run cold water over hot glass cover as it may
crack or shatter if cooled suddenly.
2. Wipe heating base and cord with a damp cloth.
3. Cooking vessel and glass cover may be washed using warm, soapy water by
hand or cleaned in the dishwasher. If dishwasher cleaning, avoid contact
between pieces to prevent damage. The non-stick surface of the cooking vessel
must be reconditioned with cooking oil after it is cleaned in a dishwasher to
restore the non-stick properties. Wash storage lid in warm, soapy water, rinse
and dry. Lid can also be cleaned in dishwasher, top rack only.
