CROCK AND LID: PRECAUTIONS AND INFORMATION
REMOVING LID AND CROCK
• The bottom of crock is very rough and can damage 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, but never heat crock when empty.
Never place lid on a burner or stove top. Do not place lid in a
microwave oven, conventional oven, or on stove top.
The bottom of the food warmer's base gets very warm because
the heating elements are located on the bottom of the liner. Use
handles on crock if necessary. Use oven mitts to remove crock.
