Care and Cleaning

1. Press the OFF button to turn unit off.

Unplug cord from outlet.

2. Remove Stoneware and Glass Lid

from Base and let cool.

3. Wash Stoneware and Glass Lid in hot,

soapy water. Rinse and dry. They
may also be washed in dishwasher.

4. Wipe the Base/Control Panel with a

damp cloth. Do not use abrasive
cleansers.

When removing the Glass Lid, tilt so that the opening
faces away from you
to avoid being burned by steam.

The sides of the Base of the slow cooker get very warm
because the heating elements are located there. Use the
handles on the Base if necessary. Use hot mitts to remove
the Stoneware.
