HOW TO USE YOUR CROCK-POT
1. There are three temperature settings. LOW is recommended for
slow "all-day" cooking. 1 hour on HIGH equals about 2 to 2
on LOW.
2. Frozen foods such as vegetables and shrimp may be used as part of a
recipe. However, do not cook frozen meats (such as roasts or
chickens) unless you first add at least 1 cup of warm liquid. The liquid
will act as a "cushion" to prevent sudden changes in temperature.
Cook recipes containing frozen meats an additional 4 to 6 hours on
LOW, or 2 hours on HIGH.
3. Always cook with the lid on.
4. Follow recommended cooking times.
5. Do not use slow cooker stoneware for storage of food.
6. Do not reheat foods in your Crock-Pot
7. Do not set heated unit filled with food on a finished wood table.
8. Unplug when cooking is done and before cleaning.
9. Removable stoneware is ovenproof and microwave safe. Do not use
removable stoneware on gas or electric burners or under broiler.

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR CROCK-POT
Unplug unit. CAUTION: Never submerge heating unit in water or other
liquid.
REMOVABLE STONEWARE
• The removable stoneware goes safely into the dishwasher, or may be
washed in hot soapy water. Do not use abrasive cleaning compounds
– a cloth, a sponge or rubber spatula will usually remove the residue.
To remove water spots and other stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner
(such as Bon-Ami ® Polishing Cleanser) or vinegar.
• The outside case may be cleaned with a soft cloth and warm soapy
water. Wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
CARE OF STONEWARE
As with any fine ceramic, the stoneware bowl will not withstand the
shock of sudden temperature changes.
• If the stoneware has been preheated or is hot to the touch, do not
put in cold foods. Do not preheat Crock-Pot
using unless specified in the recipe. The stoneware should be at room
temperature before adding hot foods.
• To wash your stoneware right after cooking, use hot water. Do not
pour in cold water if the stoneware is hot.
