Cleaning And Maintenance - Russell Hobbs RHSS67 Instructions

14. Cleaning can be made much easier if you remove all the cooked food from the cook pot as soon
as it's cooked, then fill the cook pot with warm water.
Gravy/ Sauce
Slow cooking retains more of the juices than normal cooking. This tends to increase the volume of
cooking liquid, and thin the sauce or gravy. To allow for this, sauces should initially be thicker than
normal. Anything to be sautéed could be tossed in seasoned flour beforehand, to thicken the
gravy/sauce.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE


This appliance is for household use only and is not user-serviceable.

Do not open or change any parts by yourself. Please refer to a qualified electrical service
department or return to the supplier if servicing is necessary.

Unplug the slow cooker from the wall socket (switch the socket off first, if it's switchable).

Using oven gloves remove the lid and the casserole and put them on a heatproof surface.

If you don't intend to wash up right away, fill the casserole with warm water, otherwise residual
heat may bake food debris on to the cook pot, making its eventual removal more difficult.

Don't soak the exterior of the casserole in water. The base is porous and may soak up water
which may then cause it to crack when heated.

Wash the lid and cook pot in hot soapy water, using a cloth or sponge, then rinse and dry
thoroughly. Don't use scouring pads.

Do not use bleach or other abrasive substance or solvents to clean your appliance as it can be
damaging to the finish.

To remove stubborn spots/marks, wipe the surfaces with a cloth slightly dampened in soapy
water or mild non-abrasive cleaner. Rinse and dry with a clean, dry, soft cloth.

Dry these surfaces thoroughly before re-using the slow cooker or storing it away.

After some time in use, the glaze on the casserole may develop "crazing", a network of small
cracks. This marking is superficial, and should not be a cause for concern.

You may wash the cook pot and lid in a dishwasher, but the harsh environment inside the
dishwasher may affect the surface finishes. Any damage should be cosmetic, and should not
affect the functionality of the cooker.

Don't immerse the body of the slow cooker in water or any other liquid.

Don't put the body of the slow cooker in a dishwasher.
