Crock and Glass Cover:
Precautions and Information
• Please handle the Crock and Cover
carefully to ensure long life.
• Avoid sudden, extreme temperature
changes. For example, do not place a
hot Cover or Crock into cold water, or
onto a wet surface.
• Avoid hitting the Crock and Cover
against the faucet or other hard
surfaces.
• Do not use Crock or Cover if chipped,
cracked, or severely scratched.
• Do not use abrasive cleansers or
metal scouring pads.
Removing Cover and Crock
Crock Capacity
How much does your slow cooker
hold?
The capacity of your slow cooker refers
to the amount the Crock can hold if it is
filled to the rim. However, we DO NOT
recommend filling to the rim.

• The bottom of the Crock is very rough
and can damage the countertop. Use
caution.
• The Crock and the Cover can become
very hot. Use caution. Do not place
directly on any unprotected surface or
countertop.
• The Crock is microwave safe and
oven proof, but never heat the Crock
when empty. Never place the Crock
on a burner or stove top. Do not place
the Cover in a microwave oven,
conventional oven, or on the stove top.
When removing the Cover, tilt so that
the opening faces away from you to
avoid being burned by steam.
The sides of the Base of the slow
cooker get very warm because
the heating elements are located
here. Use the handles on the Base
if necessary. Use hot mitts to remove
the Crock.
As a rule, you should select recipes
that yield 1 quart less than the listed
capacity of your Crock. For example,
if your slow cooker is labeled as a
6-quart slow cooker, your best results
will be achieved using recipes that yield
5 quarts or less.
