Travel Functionality

The Cook & Carry design is optimized for safe and mess-free transport of your meals.

• Locking Lid: To secure the lid for transport, engage the locking clips on both sides of the slow cooker. Ensure the lid gasket forms a tight seal.
• HeatSaver™ Stoneware: This feature helps maintain food temperature for longer periods without power.
• Travel Temperature Gauge: After unplugging, the gauge on the control panel will indicate the food's temperature, moving from 'HOT' to 'COOL' as it cools. This helps you monitor if reheating is necessary upon arrival.

Care and Maintenance

• Removable Stoneware and Lid: The stoneware insert and glass lid are dishwasher-safe. Alternatively, they can be washed by hand with warm, soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that may scratch surfaces.
