HOW TO USE YOUR LUNCH CROCK™ FOOD WARMER

Before you use your Lunch Crock™ Food Warmer, remove all packaging components and wash the lids and removable food container with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly. Never submerge the warming base in water and always unplug before cleaning.

NOTE: The unit is not designed for use with uncooked food. If a recipe calls for uncooked meats, it should be fully cooked before combining with other ingredients and heating it in the unit.

1. Fill the removable food container with desired food and place the food container lid on. The capacity of the inner vessel is 20 ounces. Do not overfill.
   NOTE: Ensure steam vent is pushed down to avoid spills or leakage. (See Figure 1)
2. Place the removable food container inside the warming base, by aligning food container slot with anti-rotating pin. Twist the outer lid securely on warming base.
   NOTE: The food container lid and outer lid do not need to be secured while the unit is heating and warming the food, but is recommended to avoid spilling and to ensure the quickest heating time.
3. Plug in your Lunch Crock™ Food Warmer well in advance to desired mealtime so that Lunch is ready when you are. Unwrap power cord from the bottom of the unit and plug into an outlet. The power indicator light will turn on and the unit will automatically begin to heat up the food.
   NOTE: Unit will not automatically turn off and will continue to warm unless it is unplugged.
4. Your Lunch Crock™ Food Warmer is not meant to warm foods rapidly. Heat times will vary depending on the type of food being warmed and the starting temperature of the food. Stirring will help to speed up the time it takes to heat the food.
5. Once your food has reached the desired temperature, unplug the unit and pull up on the steam vent to release hot air before opening (See Figure 2). Now you can enjoy your lunch right out of the Lunch Crock™ Food Warmer.
   CAUTION: Do not remove the inner food container from warming base before eating. The inner food container will be hot.
6. Make sure the unit is unplugged when not in use and that the cord is wrapped around the base and locked into the detachable cord slot. See arrows on the bottom of unit for cord wrap direction.

USAGE NOTES:

• If there is a power outage and you are unaware of how long the power was out, we suggest you discard the food.
• Unplug when heating is done and before cleaning.
• This unit is not ovenproof or microwave safe.
• Always wear oven mitts when handling the unit.

CARE AND CLEANING

• ALWAYS unplug your Lunch Crock™ Food Warmer and allow it to cool before cleaning. CAUTION: Never submerge the unit in water or other liquid.
• Remove food container, empty food contents, and fill with warm soapy water to loosen food remains. Pull steam vent up to clean thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cleaners; a cloth, sponge or rubber spatula will usually remove any residue. To remove any water spots or other stains, use a non-abrasive cleaner or vinegar.
• Removable food container is dishwasher safe. Food container inner lid is dishwasher safe – top rack only

NOTE

• The outer lid and warming base should be cleaned with a soft cloth and warm soapy water. Wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
