• For recipes that require a range of times, select the time closest to the

setting on your Crock-Pot

slow cooker. For instance, to cook a recipe

calling for a cooking time of 7 to 9 hours on LOW, set your Crock-Pot

slow cooker to 8 hours.

• To avoid over- or under-cooking, always fill the stoneware ½ to ¾ full to

conform to recommended cook times (with the exception of certain
cakes and custards, and as guided otherwise in our slow cooker recipes).

• Do not overfill stoneware. To prevent spillover, do not fill stoneware

higher than ¾ full.

• Always cook with the lid on for the recommended time. Do not remove

the lid during the first two hours of cooking, to allow the heat to build up
efficiently.

• Always wear oven mitts when handling the lid or stoneware.
• Unplug when cooking is done and before cleaning.
• Removable stoneware is ovenproof and microwave safe. Do not use

removable stoneware on gas or electric burner or under broiler. Refer to
chart below.

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR CROCK-POT

SLOW COOKER

• ALWAYS turn your slow cooker off, unplug it from the electrical outlet,

and allow it to cool before cleaning.

• The lid and stoneware can be washed in the dishwasher or with hot,

soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaning compounds or scouring
pads. A cloth, sponge, or rubber spatula will usually remove residue.
To remove water spots and other stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner or
vinegar.

• As with any fine ceramic, the stoneware and lid will not withstand

sudden temperature changes. Do not wash the stoneware or lid with
cold water when they are hot.

• 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.

• No other servicing should be performed.
