CROCK AND LID: PRECAUTIONS AND INFORMATION
• Please handle crock and lid carefully to ensure long life.
• Avoid sudden, extreme temperature changes. For example, do not
place a hot lid or crock into cold water, or onto a wet surface.
• Avoid hitting crock or lid against faucet or other hard surfaces.
• Do not use crock or lid if chipped, cracked, or severely scratched.
• Do not use abrasive cleansers or metal scouring pads.
• The bottom of crock is very rough and can damage countertop.
Use caution.
• The crock and lid can become very hot. Use caution. Do not place
directly on any unprotected surface or countertop.
• The crock is microwave-safe and ovenproof, but never heat crock
when empty. Never place lid on a burner or stovetop. Do not place
lid in a microwave oven, conventional oven, or on a stovetop.
• The smaller appetizer crock will nest inside of the larger, 4-quart
crock for easy storage.
REMOVING LID AND CROCK
When removing lid, tilt so that opening faces away from you to avoid
being burned by steam.
The sides of the slow cooker’s base get very warm because the
heating elements are located here. Use handles on base if necessary.
Use hot mitts to remove crock.
