IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed
to prevent the risk of fire, electric shock, burns, or other injuries or damages.
•
Read all instructions before use.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
• To protect against fire, electrical shock and injury to persons do not immerse cord,
plugs, or the appliance in water or other liquids.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow it to cool before
putting on or taking off parts and before cleaning the appliance.
• Do not operate appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance
malfunctions or has been dropped or damaged in any manner. Call our toll-free
customer assistance number for information on examination, repair, or adjustment.
• Do not cook on broken ceramic pot – If ceramic pot should break, cleaning solutions
and spillovers may penetrate the broken ceramic pot and create a risk of electric
shock.
• Clean ceramic pot with caution – If a wet sponge or cloth is used to wipe spills on
a hot cooking area, be careful to avoid steam burn, some cleaners can produce
noxious fumes if applied to a hot surface.

manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock or injuries to persons.
• Do not use outdoors or in a damp area.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.

• To disconnect the appliance, turn all controls to “off”, then remove plug from the
wall outlet.
• Do not use this appliance for anything other than its intended use.
• Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or
other hot liquids. Do not move during operation.
• The supplied ceramic pot is only suitable for use with the base unit.
• Always leave the glass lid on the ceramic pots when cooking.
