DO NOT allow stoneware cookware to soak/stand in water for an extended period of time. Applied
heat after soaking may cause glaze crazing. If scouring is necessary, use only plastic or nylon
cleaning pads with nonabrasive cleaners.
• Never subject the cooking pot to sudden changes in temperature. NEVER place it where it can
come in contact with direct heat (e.g., on top of a range or under a broiler).
• Always place foods into the cooking pot when it is at room temperature; then place pot into
base before turning on.
• Ingredients for a particular dish may be prepared in advance and stored in cooking pot in the
refrigerator until ready to cook. DO NOT preheat base before adding pot. NEVER heat the
cooking pot when it is empty.
• When removing the cooking pot from a microwave, be sure to use potholders or oven mitts.
• Always use potholders or oven mitts when removing pot from base. Do not set cooking pot
directly on counter top or table; use a trivet or hot pad.
• Unplug unit and allow to cool after use. Do not pour cold water into hot stoneware cooking pot.
CARE OF GLASS COVER:
To prevent cracking or breaking of the glass cover, which may cause personal injury, cover should
be treated with special care.
CAUTIONS: Glass cover may shatter if it is exposed to direct heat or subjected to severe
temperature changes. Chips, cracks or deep scratches may also weaken the cover.
• KEEP COVER AWAY FROM broiler, microwave oven, hot stovetop burners,
oven heat vents. If cover has been utilized in any of these locations, do not use it again, even
if there are no signs of damage. Order a replacement cover immediately.
• IF COVER BECOMES CHIPPED, CRACKED OR SCRATCHED, DO NOT USE IT. Discard
it and order a replacement.
• ALWAYS LET COVER COOL on a dry, heat-resistant surface before handling. Do not place
it on cold or wet surfaces, as this may cause it to crack or shatter.
• ALWAYS USE POTHOLDERS OR OVEN MITTS when removing the hot cover. To avoid
burns from escaping steam, always tilt cover away from hands and face.
