CROCK AND LID: PRECAUTIONS AND INFORMATION
REMOVING LID AND CROCK
A short power-supply cord is used to reduce the risk resulting
from it being grabbed by children, becoming entangled in, or
tripping over a longer cord.
• Do not use abrasive cleansers or metal scouring pads.
• The bottom of the crock is very rough and can damage the
countertop. Use caution.
• The crock and lid can become very hot. Use caution. Do not
place directly on any unprotected surface or countertop.
• The crock is microwave-safe and oven-proof, but never heat
crock when empty. Never place crock on a burner or stove
top. Do not place crock in a microwave oven, conventional

the heating elements are located here. Use handles on base if
necessary. Use oven mitts to remove crock.
