material during use (such as curtains or wall coverings). Do not use under a wall cupboard.

! Ensure the appliance is switched off and unplugged from the supply socket after use and before cleaning. ! Always allow the appliance to cool before cleaning or storing. ! Use extreme caution when moving the appliance when it contains hot food or hot liquids. ! Avoid sudden temperature changes such as adding refrigerated foods into a heated pot. !

This appliance must not be placed on or near any potentially hot surfaces (such as a gas or electric hob). ! Do not touch the external surfaces of the appliance during use as they may become very hot. Use oven gloves or a

EXTREME TEMPERATURE CONTROL STONEWARE

Extreme Temperature Control (ETC) is a special stoneware formulation that can withstand extreme temperature changes, giving you the most versatile and convenient cooking appliance. ETC stoneware is safe to use on stovetops*, in conventional and microwave** ovens as well as the refrigerator and freezer. Unlike most ceramic and glass stoneware, you can take the ETC stoneware directly from your stovetop or oven to your refrigerator or freezer and vice versa.

This versatility allows you to prepare foods, slow cook, store leftovers and reheat them all using the same stoneware dish, saving cleaning time. The elegant design allows you to serve straight from your slow cooker.

must be used when cooking on an electric or a gas stovetop.

ETC STONEWARE CARE

WARNING: TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO YOUR ETC STONEWARE, YOU MUST FOLLOW THE SAFEGUARDS BELOW.

• ALWAYS use the enclosed HEAT DIFFUSER when cooking on ELECTRIC or GAS STOVETOPS or breakage may result.

• DO NOT use on HIGH HEAT on stovetop.

• DO NOT heat empty stoneware on stovetop burners. Always ensure there is liquid or food inside the stoneware.

• ALWAYS begin stovetop cooking on low heat before increasing to medium or medium low heat.

• ALWAYS coat bottom of stoneware with a minimum of 30ml of oil when sautéing or browning on stove tops.

• ALWAYS stir food often when cooking on stovetop.

• NEVER freeze water or water based foods in the stoneware. It may result in cracking of stoneware.

• DO NOT use metal utensils with the stoneware to protect against scratches.

IMPORTANT NOTES: Some countertop and table surfaces are not designed to withstand the prolonged heat generated by certain appliances. Do not set the heated unit on a surface that may be damaged by heat. We recommend placing an insulated pad or suitably sized trivet under your slow cooker to prevent possible damage to the surface.

Please use caution when placing your stoneware on a ceramic or smooth glass cook top stove, countertop, table, or other surface. Due to the nature of the stoneware, the rough bottom surface may scratch some surfaces if caution is not used. Always place protective padding under stoneware before placing it on a table or countertop.
