1. Before using, wash slow cooker pot, and covers with warm, soapy water, rinse
and dry.
2. Wipe non-stick finish of slow cooker heating base with a damp cloth and dry.
3. Wipe the non-stick finish on inside of cooking pot with a teaspoon of vegetable
cooking oil using a paper towel. This will condition the non-stick finish to prevent
sticking. NOTE: Do NOT use shortening or butter to condition the finish. Leave
a light film of oil on finish. The non-stick finish will need to be reconditioned after
each time the cooking pot is 1) cleaned in an automatic dishwasher; 2) the finish
is treated with a special cleaner; 3) the finish is cleaned with lemon juice or
vinegar to remove a mineral film; or 4) when sticking becomes a problem during
use. DO NOT CONDITION NON-STICK SURFACE OF SLOW COOKER
HEATING BASE BEFORE USING AS A SLOW COOKER.
