IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
To prevent personal injury or property damage, read and follow all instructions
and warnings.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed including the following:
• Read all instructions.
• Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
• The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Focus Electrics may
cause injuries.
• Do not operate when the appliance is not working properly or when it has been
damaged in any manner. For service information see warranty page.
• Do not use the ceramic cooking vessel or cover on the stovetop, under the
broiler, in the freezer, or in the oven. You may use the ceramic cooking vessel in
the microwave oven, but do not place the glass cover in the microwave oven as
it has a metal ring.
• Do not use ceramic cooking vessel or glass cover if chipped, cracked or has
deep scratches as weakened glass and ceramic can shatter during use. Discard
immediately. See Replacement Part section in this booklet on how to obtain a
replacement part.
• Do not attempt to repair this appliance yourself.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles and knobs where provided. Use hot
pads or oven mitts if you lift or carry the ceramic cooking vessel or cover when it
is hot.
• Do not move an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids.
• Lift cover slowly, directing steam away from you.
• Set ceramic cooking vessel and cover on hot pad, trivet or other heat protective
surface. Do not set hot ceramic cooking vessel or cover directly on the counter,
table or other surface.
• Do not preheat the heating base.
• Do not add frozen/cold foods or liquids into heated ceramic cooking vessel.
Sudden temperature change may cause the cover or ceramic cooking vessel to
crack or shatter.
• To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or other electric
parts in water or other liquids.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug.
• Do not use this appliance outdoors.
• Do not plug cord into wall outlet unless Crockery™ Slow Cooker is set in “OFF”
position.
• Always turn control to “OFF” and unplug the appliance from outlet when not in
use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
• Caution: Risk of electric shock. Cook only in removable ceramic cooking vessel;
do not attempt to cook directly in the heating base.
• A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
