52 If you use a dishwasher, the harsh environment inside the dishwasher will affect the surface
finishes.
53 The damage should be cosmetic only, and should not affect the operation of the appliance.
54 Don't soak the exterior of the cookpot in water. The base is porous and will soak up water
which may cause it to crack when heated.
55 After some time in use, the glaze on the cookpot may develop "crazing", a network of small
cracks. This marking is superficial, and doesn't affect the operation of the slow cooker. Don't
worry about it.
