HOW TO CLEAN YOUR CROCK-POT
CAUTION: Always unplug unit before cleaning. Never submerge heating unit in water.
REMOVABLE STONEWARE:
• The removable stoneware goes safely into the dishwasher, or may be washed in hot
soapy water as soon as possible after emptying. Do not use abrasive cleaning
compounds – a cloth, sponge or rubber spatula will usually remove the residue.
To remove water spots and other stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner (Bon Ami
Polishing Cleanser) or vinegar.
• The outside case may be cleaned with a soft cloth and warm soapy water.
Wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
• The lid and stoneware may be washed in the dishwasher.

As with any fine ceramic, the stoneware bowl of your Crock-Pot
withstand the shock of sudden temperature changes.
• Frozen foods such as vegetables and shrimp may be used as part of a recipe.
However, do not thaw or cook large frozen foods such as roasts and chicken unless
you first add at least 1 cup of liquid. See hints below.
• If the stoneware has been preheated or is hot to the touch, do not put in cold
foods. Do not preheat the slow cooker before using unless specified in recipe. The
slow cooker 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.

able stoneware bowl on gas or electric burner or under broiler.
