USE: The stoneware insert can be used in conventional, convection and microwave
ovens, in the refrigerator and in the dishwasher. It should be used in these applications
without the glass lid.
CARE: Use only wooden, nylon or plastic utensils. Metal utensils can scratch or leave
grey marks. Can be washed by hand or in a dishwasher. Load carefully to avoid
stoneware-to-stoneware contact and bumping against other items during cycle.
DO NOT: Allow stoneware cookware to soak/stand in water for an extended period of
time. Applied heat after soaking may cause glaze crazing. If scouring is necessary, use
only plastic or nylon cleaning pads with non-abrasive cleaners.
Never subject the cooking pot to sudden changes in temperature. NEVER place it
where it can come into contact with direct heat (e.g. on top of a stove top or under a
grill).
•
Always place foods into the cooking pot when it is at room temperature; then
place pot into base before turning on.
Ingredients for a particular dish may be prepared in advance and stored in cooking pot
in the refrigerator until ready to cook. DO NOT preheat base before adding the pot. Do
not set cooking pot directly on counter top or table; use a trivet or heat protective pad.
•
Unplug unit and allow to cool after use. Do not pour cold water into hot stoneware
cooking pot.
CARE OF GLASS LID:
To prevent cracking or breaking of the glass lid, which may cause personal injury, the
glass lid should be treated with special care.
CAUTIONS: Glass lid may shatter if it is exposed to direct heat or subjected to severe
temperature changes. Chips, cracks or deep scratches may also weaken the lid.
•
KEEP LID AWAY FROM grill, microwave oven, hot stove top burners and oven
heat vents etc. If lid has been used in any of these locations, do not use it again,
even if there is no signs of damage.
•
IF COVER BECOMES CHIPPED, CRACKED OR SCRATCHED, DO NOT USE IT.
•
Do not place the stoneware on cold or wet surfaces, as this may cause it to crack
or shatter.
•
ALWAYS USE POT HOLDERS OR OVEN MITTS when handling the glass lid. To
avoid burns from escaping steam, always tilt the lid away from the hands and face.
