After Use:
Unplug the appliance from the mains.
Allow the appliance and the pot to cool before cleaning.
Wash the cooking pot out in warm soapy water. Residual food can be removed
with a rubber spatula, a cleaning sponge or a cloth. Soak stubborn food deposits in
warm soapy water before cleaning.
The cooking pot may be washed in a dishwasher but the lid should be always
washed by hand as a safety measure.
DO NOT allow stoneware cookware to soak or stand in water for an extended period
of time. Applied heat after soaking may cause glaze crazing.
Do not use abrasives or abrasive cleaning compounds either on the pot or the
appliance body itself.
To remove water spots and other stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner or vinegar.
Wipe the body of the cooker with a damp cloth containing a trace of dilute
detergent. Remove all traces of detergent with a cloth damped with clean water.
Dry the cooker body thoroughly.
Store the cooker fully assembled in a safe place, away from sources of heat and
moisture and out of the reach of children and pets.
General Recommendations
Do NOT expose the ceramic bowl to sudden temperature changes - it may crack.
Do not preheat the slow cooker before use unless expressly recommended in your
recipe.
Make sure the cooking pot is at room temperature before adding hot foods to it.
If the pot is hot, do not cool it by pouring cold water into it.
Do not allow the pot to boil dry or operate the cooker with an empty pot or with no
pot in place.
As the cooking process is necessarily extended, make sure the cooker is operated
out of the reach of children or pets.
The ultimate disconnection is the mains plug. Always make sure the mains plug on
the unit is readily operable and capable of being unplugged in an emergency.
