IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS (cont.)
17. The heating base is subject to
residual heat from cooking cycle. Do

after removing stoneware. Allow to
cool before handling.
18. The glass lid and stoneware crock are
fragile. Handle them with care.
19. DO NOT lock the lid while cooking.
Locking the glass lid while cooking
may lead to breakage, which can
cause injuries.
20. DO NOT switch on the slow cooker
when the stoneware crock is empty.
21. Allow lid and stoneware crock to
cool before immersing in water.
22. Use caution when opening lid during
or after a cooking cycle. Escaping
steam can cause burns.
23. The slow cooker lid is made of
tempered glass. Always inspect it for
chips, cracks or any other damage.
Do not use the glass lid if it is
damaged; it may shatter during use.
24. DO NOT immerse base in water.
25. DO NOT pre-heat before adding
ingredients.
26. DO NOT subject the stoneware crock
to sudden changes in temperature.
Adding cold water to a very hot
stoneware crock can cause cracks.
27. DO NOT switch the slow cooker on
when the stoneware crock is empty
or out of the base.
28. There is an area on the base of the
stoneware crock that must remain
unglazed for manufacturing
purposes. This unglazed area is
porous and will soak up water. Do
not leave stoneware crock in water
while cleaning. However, you can
leave water inside the stoneware
crock to soak.
29. The removable stoneware crock is
oven-proof and microwave safe. If
desired, you can cook your recipe in
the oven, and then transfer it to the
heating base to take on the go or to
keep warm while serving.

30. NEVER attempt to lift or carry the
slow cooker by the lid handle. Always
use the handles located at each side
on the base.
31. Stoneware is fired at high
temperatures therefore the
stoneware crock may have minor
surface blemishes; the glass lid may
rock slightly due to these
imperfections. Low heat cooking
does not produce steam so there
will be little heat loss. Due to normal
wear and tear through the product's
life, the outer surface may start
appearing to have fine cracks on the
surface of the glaze.
32. This slow cooker was designed to
use for cooking inside the heating
base and then be removed and
transferred directly to the table for
serving. Use a trivet to protect your
table when serving from the slow
cooker stoneware crock.
33. Do not use removable stoneware
crock on gas or electric burner or
under broiler. Do not put the
stoneware crock or glass lid in a
freezer or in a toaster oven.
34. Do not set the heated base on a
finished wood table. Place a hot pad
or trivet under the slow cooker to
prevent damage to the surface.
35. Use caution when placing your
stoneware on a ceramic or smooth
glass cook top stove, countertop,
table or other surface. The stoneware
crock's rough bottom may scratch
some surfaces if caution is not used.
Always place heat resistant
protective padding under the
stoneware crock before setting on a
table, countertop or other surface.
36. WARNING: Spilled food can cause
serious burns. Keep appliance and
cord away from children. Never
drape cord over edge of counter,
never use outlet below counter, and
never use with an extension cord.
