Page: 3 / 26

-E4- -E5-
1. There are three temperature settings. LOW is recommended for slow
”all-day” cooking. 1 hour on HIGH equals about 2 to 2 1 ⁄
2
hours on
LOW . WARM is recommended for keeping already cooked food at the
perfect serving temperature until you are ready to eat. DO NOT cook
on this setting.
2. Frozen foods such as vegetables and shrimp may be used as part of a
recipe. However, do not cook frozen meats (such as roasts or chickens)
unless you first add at least 1 cup of warm liquid. The liquid will act as
a “cushion” to prevent sudden changes in temperature. Cook recipes
containing frozen meats an additional 4 to 6 hours on
LOW , or 2 hours
on HIGH .
3. Always cook with the lid on.
4. Follow recommended cooking times.
5. Do not use slow cooker stoneware for storage of food.
6. Do not reheat foods in your Crock-Pot ® slow cooker.
7. Do not set heated unit filled with food on a finished wood table.
8. Unplug when cooking is done and before cleaning.
9. Removable stoneware is ovenproof and microwave safe. Do not use
removable stoneware on gas or electric burners or under broiler.
HOW TO USE YOUR CROCK-POT ® SLOW COOKER
HOW TO CLEAN YOUR CROCK-POT ® SLOW COOKER
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 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 Crock-Pot
®
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.
