Care and Cleaning
Ceramic Pot Care
Here are a few simple tips to assure your
slow cooker gives you years of service.
• This is a large-capacity slow cooker and
it is recommended that you cook with at
least 1 qt (1 L) of food in the ceramic pot.
• Do not store the ceramic pot in the
refrigerator.
• If the ceramic pot has been inadvertently
left in the refrigerator, do not immediately
fill with hot or warm liquids. Wait until
the pot is at room temperature.
• If assembling a recipe in advance of
cooking, store ingredients in a covered,
separate container.
• After each use, always follow the
"Care and Cleaning" instructions.
Troubleshooting
If your slow cooker should fail
to operate, check the following:
• See if the slow cooker is plugged into
a proper electrical outlet. If it is, unplug
the slow cooker.
• Plug in slow cooker.
• For best results, the ceramic pot
should be at least half-filled. If less
than half filled, check for appropriate
temperature 1 to 2 hours earlier than
recipe states.
To clean white residue from the
ceramic pot
Small amounts of calcium in wash water
may leave a white residue in the ceramic
pot after it has been washed. To clean the
residue, follow this procedure:
1. Pour a small amount of vinegar into
the pot and dilute it with an equal
amount of water.
2. Wipe the inside surfaces of the pot
with a soft pad. Be sure to wipe the
vinegar/water solution sufficiently over
all the affected areas.
3. Empty the pot, rinse with water, and
dry with a soft cloth or towel.
• If the slow cooker still does not work,
check the household fuse or circuit
breaker on the electrical circuit the
slow cooker is connected to and make
sure the circuit is closed.
If the problem cannot be corrected:
• Return appliance to the nearest
Authorized Service Facility for
examination, repair, or adjustment.
