PREPARING FOR USE
Before you use your Crock-Pot slow cooker, remove all packaging and wash the lid and stoneware with warm soapy water
®
and dry thoroughly.
IMPORTANT NOTES: Some countertop and table surfaces are not designed to withstand the prolonged heat generated by
certain appliances. Do not set the heated unit on a heat sensitive surface. We recommend placing a hot pad or trivet under
your slow cooker to prevent possible damage to the surface.
Please use caution when placing your stoneware on a ceramic or smooth glass cook top stove, countertop, table, or other
surface. Due to the nature of the stoneware, the rough bottom surface may scratch some surfaces if caution is not used.
Always place protective padding under stoneware before placing it on a table or countertop.
During initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke or odour may be detected. This is normal with many heating
appliances and will not recur after a few uses.
Remove the orange battery protective strip by fully pulling out. This will control the clock when the unit is not plugged in.
