Before using the slow cooker for the first time remove all labels and tags from the
product.
Wash the ceramic pot and glass lid in hot soapy water with a sponge or a dish cloth, rinse
thoroughly and dry.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT IMMERSE THE SLOW COOKER BASE IN WATER.
PLEASE NOTE: The initial 15 minutes of use may result in minimal smell and smoke. This
is normal and harmless and comes from the protective substance applied to the heating
elements during manufacturing.
