USING THE APPLIANCE FOR THE FIRST TIME
Check that the voltage marked on the rating plate at the bottom of the appliance is
the same as the voltage in your area.
Wash the stoneware cooking pot and glass lid in hot soapy water. Rinse well in clear
water and dry carefully.
Wipe the cooker body and cooking cavity with a damp cloth containing a trace of
dilute detergent. Remove all traces of detergent with a cloth damped with clean
water. Dry thoroughly.
All stoneware is breakable. Handle with care.
All stoneware cookware can be used in conventional, convection and
microwave ovens, in the refrigerator, freezer and in the dishwasher. However,
do not subject the pot to sudden temperature variations as it may crack.
The pot must never be used on or near direct heat - for example on a cooking
ring or burner, or under a grill, or during the grilling cycle of a combination
microwave-grill oven.
