BEFORE USING

Ovens, Skillets, etc.

Slow Cooker stoneware inserts have a rough bottom. To avoid scratching surfaces,

Carefully unpack the chocolatier and remove any labels or packaging materials. Wash
stoneware insert and lid in warm, soapy water. Rinse well and dry thoroughly. Wipe interior

OR ANY OTHER LIQUID. Product should be operated before initial use. After cleaning, place
insert inside the base. Pour ½ cup of water into the stoneware insert and cover with lid. Plug

unplug. Allow unit to cool. Remove insert and discard water. Rinse the stoneware insert, dry
thoroughly and place it into the base.
