Consumer Safety Information
This product is intended for household
use only.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized
plug. This type of plug has one blade wider
than the other. The plug will fit into an
electrical outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug
into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If
the plug should still fail to fit, contact an
electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.
Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose
of the polarized plug.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload do not
use a high wattage appliance on the same
circuit with the slow cooker.
This appliance has a short cord to reduce
the hazards of becoming entangled or
tripping over a longer cord. An extension
cord may be used if electrical rating of
extension cord is equal to or greater than
the rating of the slow cooker. Use only
an extension cord rated 10 amperes or
greater. Care must be taken to arrange
extension cord so that it will not drape
over a countertop or tabletop where it can
be tripped over or pulled on by children.
CAUTION;
Keep lid latch away from children.
This feature, available on selected models
(see page 7), is not a toy.
