CROCK AND LID: PRECAUTIONS AND INFORMATION
REMOVING LID AND CROCK
• 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 lid on a burner or stove top. Do not
place lid in a microwave oven, conventional oven, or on stove top.
The sides of the slow cooker's base get very warm because
the heating elements are located here. Use handles on base if
necessary. Use oven mitts to remove crock.
