HOW TO CLEAN YOUR SLOW COOKER
Unplug unit and remove Removable Stoneware.
1. Fill Removable 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. Alternatively, the Removable Stoneware can go safely into
the dishwasher.
3. The Glass Lid may be washed in the top rack ONLY of the dishwasher.
CARE OF REMOVABLE STONEWARE
As with any fine ceramic, the Removable Stoneware bowl will not
withstand the shock of sudden temperature changes.
• If the Removable 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 Removable Stoneware should
be at room temperature before adding hot foods.
• To wash your Removable Stoneware right after cooking, use hot
water. Do not pour in cold water if the Removable Stoneware is hot.
