CARE AND CLEANING
Stoneware and Lid
•
ALWAYS turn your slow cooker off, unplug it from the electrical outlet, and
allow it to cool before cleaning.
•
The removable stoneware and lid go 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 or vinegar.
•
Use hot water to wash your stoneware right after cooking. Do not add cold
water if the stoneware is hot. As with any fine ceramic, the stoneware will
not withstand sudden temperature changes and could crack.
•
If the stoneware has been preheated or is hot to the touch, do not add cold
foods. Do not preheat your slow cooker unless specified in the recipe. The
stoneware should be at room temperature when adding hot or cold foods.
Heating Base
•
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.
Temperature Probe and Housing
•
The temperature probe can be washed in warm, soapy water and wiped
dry.
•
The temperature probe housing is removable for cleaning. Simply slide
housing up to remove.
•
The housing is dishwasher safe (top rack only), or can be washed in warm,
soapy water and wiped dry.
