CARE: Use only wooden, nylon, or plastic utensils. Metal utensils can scratch or leave gray
marks. Can be washed by hand or in a dishwasher. Load carefully to avoid stoneware-to-
stoneware contact and bumping against other items during cycle.
DO NOT allow stoneware cookware to soak/stand in water for an extended period of time.
Applied heat after soaking may cause glaze crazing. If scouring is necessary, use only plastic
or nylon cleaning pads with nonabrasive cleaners.
• Never subject the cooking pot to sudden changes in temperature. NEVER place it where
it can come in contact with direct heat (e.g., on top of a range or under a broiler).
• Always place foods into the cooking pot when it is at room temperature; then
pot into base before turning on.
• Ingredients for a particular dish may be prepared in advance and stored in cooking pot
in the refrigerator until ready to cook. DO NOT preheat base before adding pot. NEVER
heat the cooking pot when it is empty.
• When removing the cooking pot from a microwave, be sure to use potholders or oven
mitts.
• Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing pot from base. Do not set cooking
pot directly on counter top or table; use a trivet or hot pad.
• Unplug unit and allow to cool after use. Do not pour cold water into hot stoneware
cooking pot.
CARE OF GLASS COVER:
To prevent cracking or breaking of the glass cover, which may cause personal injury, cover
should be treated with special care.
CAUTIONS: Glass cover may shatter if it is exposed to direct heat or subjected to
severe temperature changes. Chips, cracks or deep scratches may also weaken the
cover.
• KEEP COVER AWAY FROM broiler, microwave oven, hot stovetop burners,
oven heat vents. If cover has been utilized in any of these locations, do not use it again,
even if there are no signs of damage. Order a replacement cover immediately.
• IF COVER BECOMES CHIPPED, CRACKED OR SCRATCHED, DO NOT USE IT.
Discard it and order a replacement.
• ALWAYS LET COVER COOL on a dry, heat-resistant surface before handling. Do not
place it on cold or wet surfaces, as this may cause it to crack or shatter.
• ALWAYS USE POTHOLDERS OR OVEN MITTS when removing the hot cover. To avoid
burns from escaping steam, always tilt cover away from hands and face.
Using a slow cooker is easy but different from conventional cooking. To help you, this
manual contains many helpful hints for successful slow cooking. Many more slow cooker
recipes books are available in libraries and bookstores. Keep these materials handy whether
preparing favorite recipes or trying something new.
This slow cooker has three heat settings: LOW, HIGH and WARM. The WARM setting is for
holding the prepared recipe at a perfect serving temperature. The WARM setting should only
be used after a recipe has been thoroughly cooked. Food should not be reheated on the
WARM setting. If food has been cooked and then refrigerated it must be reheated on LOW or
HIGH and then switched to WARM.
CAUTION: The WARM setting should only be used after completely cooking the recipe
according to the instructions. The food must be hot enough to prevent bacterial growth before
using the WARM setting. Do not use the WARM setting to reheat any food that has been
refrigerated or frozen.
Use the recommended guidelines offered in recipe being used to determine cooking time
