Usage Notes - Crock-Pot Cook & Carry Owner's Manual

HOW TO USE YOUR SLOW COOKER
1. Place the stoneware into the heating base, add your
ingredients into the stoneware and cover with the lid.
NOTE: Unit should not be in the locked position while cooking.
2. Plug in your Crock-Pot slow cooker and select the
®
temperature setting. Refer to your specific recipe for precise
cook time.
NOTE: WARM is ONLY for keeping already cooked food warm.
DO NOT cook on the WARM setting. We do not recommend
using the WARM setting for more than 4 hours.
3. When cooking is done, unplug your slow cooker and
allow it to cool before cleaning.

USAGE NOTES:

• If you suspect that the power has gone out, the food
may be unsafe to eat. If you are unaware of how long the
power was out, we suggest you discard the food inside.
• For recipes that require a range of times, select the time
closest to the setting on your slow cooker. For example,
to cook a recipe calling for a cooking time of 7 to 9
hours on LOW, cook for 8 hours.
• To avoid over or under-cooking, always fill the stoneware
½ to ¾ full and conform to recommended cook times.
• Do not overfill stoneware. To prevent spillover, do not fill
stoneware higher than ¾ full.
• Always cook with the lid on for the recommended time.
Do not remove the lid during the first two hours of
cooking to allow the heat to build up efficiently.
• Always wear oven mitts when handling the lid or
stoneware.
• Unplug when cooking is done and before cleaning.
• Removable stoneware is ovenproof and microwave
safe. Do not use removable stoneware on gas or electric
burner or under broiler. Refer to chart on following page.

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR SLOW COOKER
• 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 residue. To remove water spots
and other stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner or vinegar.
• As with any fine ceramic, the stoneware and lid will not
withstand sudden temperature changes. Do not wash
the stoneware or lid with cold water when they are 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.
CAUTION: Never immerse the heating base in water or other liquid.
• No other servicing should be performed.
