Cleaning Your Crockery Cooker - West Bend 3 QT.CROCKERY Manual De Instrucciones

1. Place heating base on dry, level, heat-resistant surface, away from any edge.
2. Place foods into cooking vessel, cover and place into heating base. (If you wish
to brown or pre-cook any foods before slow cooking, this must be done in a
different cooking utensil on top of the range). Never place ceramic-cooking
vessel on top of range, as it will break from direct contact with heat.
3. With heat control set at "OFF," plug cord into a 120 volt, AC electric outlet only.
4. Set heat control to "LO" or "HI" and cook for recommended time given in recipe.
If your crockery cooker has a signal light, it will glow when cooker is plugged into
an outlet. As a general guideline, most meat and vegetable combinations need
8 to 10 hours of cooking at "LO," or 4 to 6 hours at "HI." Do not cook foods at
"Keep Warm" setting, as temperature is not hot enough to cook foods.
Use "Keep Warm" setting only to keep cooked foods warm for serving.
Avoid removing cover when slow cooking as cooking time will be increased due
to loss of temperature. Remove cover only when needed to stir occasionally or
when adding ingredients. Always lift cover slowly, directing steam away from
you.
5. After food is cooked, reduce heat to "Keep Warm" for serving or turn control to
"OFF." Unplug the cord from electric outlet after use. Allow cooker to cool
before cleaning.
•
Some smoke and/or odor may occur upon heating due to the release of
manufacturing oils – this is normal.
•
Some expansion/contraction sounds may occur during heating and cooling – this
is normal.
•
Allow the entire unit (base, cooking vessel and cover) to cool before cleaning.
Set cooking vessel and cover on a dry hot pad or trivet for gradual cooling. Do
not run cold water over hot cooking vessel or cover, as they may crack if
cooled suddenly.
1. Wipe heating base and cord with a damp cloth after it has been unplugged and
the base is cool.
2. Cooking vessel and cover may be washed using hot soapy water by hand or
cleaned in the dishwasher. Avoid contact between pieces to prevent damage.
3. Use a non-abrasive cleanser or baking soda paste to remove stains. Do not use
metal scouring pads or cleansers. Wipe with distilled vinegar to remove water
spots or mineral deposits. Rewash with hot soapy water, rinse and dry.
