HOW TO CLEAN YOUR SLOW COOKER

•   ALWAYS turn your slow cooker off, unplug it from the electrical 

outlet, and allow it to cool before cleaning.

•   The lid and stoneware are dishwasher-safe. See above chart. 

Do not use abrasive cleaning compounds or scoruing pads. A 

cloth, sponge, or rubber spatula will usually remove residue. 

To remove water spots and other stains, use a non-abrasive 

cleaner or vinegar.

•   As with any fine ceramic, the stoneware and lid will not 

withstand sudden temperature changes. Do not wash the 

stoneware or lid with cold water when they are hot.

•   The outside of the heating base may be cleaned with a soft 

cloth and warm, soapy water. Wipe dry. Do not use abrasive 

cleaners.

  

CAUTION: Never immerse the heating base in water or other 

liquid.

•  No other servicing should be performed.

•   This appliance has no user serviceable parts. Any servicing 

beyond that described in the Cleaning Section should be 

performed by an Authorized Service Representative only. See 

Warranty Section.

HOW TO USE YOUR SLOW COOKER (CONT.)

•   To avoid over or under-cooking, always fill the stoneware 

½ to ¾ full to conform to recommended cook times (with 

the exception of certain cakes and custards, and as guided 

otherwise in our slow cooker recipes).

•   Do not overfill stoneware. To prevent spillover, do not fill 

stoneware higher than ¾ full.

•   Always cook, with the lid on, for the recommended time. Do 

not remove the lid during the first two hours of cooking.

•   Always wear oven mitts when handling the lid or stoneware.

•  Unplug when cooking is done and before cleaning.

•   Removable stoneware is ovenproof and microwave safe. Do not 

use removable stoneware on gas or electric burner or under 

broiler. Refer to chart below.
