HOW TO USE YOUR CROCK-POT
USAGE NOTES:
• If there is a power outage, when the power is restored the display and
lights blink. All slow cooker settings have been cleared and must be
reset. However, the food may be unsafe to eat. If you are unaware of
how long the power was out, we suggest you discard the food.
• For recipes that require a range of times, select the time closest to the
setting on your Crock-Pot slow cooker. For instance, to cook a recipe
®
calling for a cooking time of 7 to 9 hours on LOW, set your Crock-Pot
slow cooker to 8 hours.
• To avoid over- or under-cooking, always fill the stoneware ½ to ¾
full to conform to recommended cook times (with the exception
of certain cakes and custards, and as guided otherwise in our slow
cooker recipes).
• 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.

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.
• This appliance has no user serviceable parts. Any servicing beyond
that described in the Cleaning Section should be performed by an
Authorized Service Representative only. See Warranty Section.
