HOW TO CLEAN YOUR CROCK-POT
Unplug unit. CAUTION: Never submerge heating unit in water or other
liquid.
REMOVABLE STONEWARE
• The removable stoneware goes safely into the dishwasher, or may be
washed in hot soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaning compounds
– a cloth, a sponge or rubber spatula will usually remove the residue.
To remove water spots and other stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner
(such as Bon-Ami ® Polishing Cleanser) or vinegar.
• The outside case of the heating base may be cleaned with a soft cloth
and warm soapy water. Wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
CARE OF STONEWARE
As with any fine ceramic, the stoneware bowl will not withstand the shock
of sudden temperature changes.
• If the stoneware has been preheated or is hot to the touch, do not put
in cold foods. Do not preheat slow cooker before using unless
specified in the recipe. The stoneware should be at room temperature
before adding hot foods.
• To wash your stoneware right after cooking, use hot water. Do not
pour in cold water if the stoneware is hot.

GUIDE TO ADAPTING YOUR OWN RECIPES
This guide is designed to help you adapt recipes to the slow cooker —
your own favorites and prized recipes collected from friends, food
companies, newspapers and magazines. Our aim is to save preparation
time with fewer steps and dishes...and to keep cooking simple. In most
cases, all ingredients can go into your slow cooker in the beginning and
can cook all day. Many preparatory steps are unnecessary when using
the slow cooker. A few hints:
• Allow sufficient cooking time.
• Cook with Lid on.
• Do not add as much water as some recipes indicate.
• Remember — liquids don't "boil away" as in conventional cooking.
Usually you'll have more liquid at the end of cooking instead of
less.
• It's "one-step" cooking: many steps in recipes may be deleted. Add
ingredients to stoneware at one time and cook 8 to 12 hours (add
any liquid last).
• Vegetables do not overcook as they do when boiled in your oven or
on your range. Therefore, everything can go into the slow cooker at
one time. EXCEPTION: milk, sour cream or cream should be added
during last hour.
