Care and CleanInG
• Authentic stoneware is fired at high temperatures, therefore the ceramic pot may have
minor surface blemishes, the glass lid may rock slightly due to these imperfection. Low
heat cooking does not produce steam so there will be little heat loss. Due to normal wear
and tear through the product’s life, the outer surface may start appearing ”crazed”.
• There is a small area on the base of the ceramic pot that has to remain unglazed for
manufacturing purposes. This unglazed area is porous and therefore will soak up water,
which should be avoided.
• Always make sure the slow cooker is unplugged and in the OFF position before storing
away or cleaning. Make sure the unit has cooled down completely before cleaning.
• Do not put the ceramic pot or glass lid in an oven, freezer, microwave oven or on a gas
or electrical hob.
• Do not subject the ceramic pot to sudden changes in temperature. Adding cold water to a
very hot pot could cause it to crack.
• Do not allow the pot to stand in water for an extended period of time (though you can
leave water in the pot to soak overnight to facilitate cleaning).
• Do not switch the cooker on when the ceramic pot is emty or out of the base.
• The ceramic pot is dishwasher safe or can also be cleaned with warm soapy water. To
remove any foods that have been cooked onto the inside of the pot, simply soak overnight
in soapy water and rinse the next day.
• The exterior of the slow cooker can be wiped with a damp cloth and dried. DO NOT
use harsh abrasive cleaner or scouring pad to clean any part of the cooker, as this will
damage the surfaces.
• To clean the glass lid, remove the black gasket from the lid and refit it after cleaning as
below.
• Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
WARNING:
1. NEVER SUBMERGE THE ENTIRE SLOW COOKER INTO WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID AS
THIS MAY DAMAGE THE SLOW COOKER.
2. NEVER PUT THE GLASS LID IN THE REFRIGERATOR, OTHERWISE IT MAY CRACK.
3. IF THE CERAMIC POT HAS BEEN IN THE REFRIGERATOR, ALLOW ABOUT 40 MIN FOR THE
POT TO DRY BEFORE USING, OTHERWISE IT MAY CRACK.
4. NEVER PUT THE CERAMIC POT ON THE GAS STOVE TO USE, OTHERWISE IT MAY CRACK.
