Product Overview
The Crock-Pot Double Dipper is a specialized appliance designed for heating and maintaining dips, sauces, and fondues at the perfect serving temperature. It features two separate stoneware compartments, allowing you to serve two different items simultaneously. The unit is intended for household use only and is not designed for cooking raw meats.
Safety Precautions
Always read all instructions before use. To prevent electrical shock, never immerse the heating base, cord, or plug in water or other liquids. Keep the appliance at least 6 inches away from walls and other surfaces. Always use oven mitts when handling the unit or moving it while hot. Do not place the heated unit on finished wood tables; use a hot pad or trivet to protect surfaces. Never cook directly in the heating base; always use the provided stoneware.
Operating Instructions
Before first use, wash the lid and stoneware with warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly. Fill each stoneware compartment between 1/2 and 3/4 full with your desired ingredients. If you are only using one chamber, fill the empty chamber with water before turning the unit on. Heating typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. Stir occasionally during the heating process. Do not keep dips warm in the unit for longer than 4 hours.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Always unplug the unit and allow it to cool completely before cleaning. Never submerge the heating base in water. The stoneware and lid are dishwasher safe. To clean the stoneware, fill with warm, soapy water to loosen food residue; avoid abrasive cleaners. The exterior of the heating base can be wiped clean with a soft, damp cloth. No user-serviceable parts are inside; do not attempt to repair the unit yourself.
Usage Notes
The removable stoneware is oven-safe and microwave-safe, but should never be used on a stovetop or under a broiler. During initial use, you may notice slight smoke or odor; this is normal and will dissipate after a few uses. In the event of a power outage, discard any food that was in the unit if the duration of the outage is unknown.
