WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade)
that reduces the risk of electric shock. The plug fits only one way into a polarized
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any
way or using an adaptor. If the plug does not fit, reverse the plug. If it still does not
fit, have an electrician replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards
of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary
an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension
cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the slow cooker. Care must be
taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.
LID AND CROCK:
PRECAUTIONS AND INFORMATION
• Please handle the Crock and Lid carefully to ensure long life.
• Avoid sudden, extreme temperature changes. For example, do not place a hot
Lid or Crock into cold water or on a wet surface.
• Avoid hitting Crock and Lid against a faucet or other hard surface.
• Do not use Crock or Lid if chipped, cracked, or severely scratched.
• Do not use abrasive cleansers or metal scouring pads.
• The bottom of Crock is very rough and can damage a countertop. Use caution.
• The Crock and Lid can become very hot. Use caution. Do not place directly on
any unprotected surface or countertop.
• The Crock is microwave safe and oven proof, but never heat Crock when empty.
Never place Lid on a burner or stove top. Do not place Lid in a microwave oven,
conventional oven, or on a stove top.
REMOVING LID AND CROCK
When removing Lid, tilt so that the opening faces away from you to avoid being
burned by steam.
The sides of the Base of the slow cooker get very warm because the heating
elements are located here. Use the handles on the Base if necessary. Use hot
mitts to remove Crock.
