RECAUTIONS
• 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 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 electric parts outdoors, or place them on or near a gas or electric
burner, in a heated oven, or in the refrigerator.
• 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.
• Your crockery cooker has a short cord as a safety precaution to avoid pulling,
tripping or entanglement. To avoid pulling, tripping or entanglement, position the
cord so that it does not hang over the edge of the counter, table or other flat
surface areas or touch hot surfaces.
• While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one, make
sure the cord has the same or higher wattage as the crockery cooker (wattage is
stamped on the underside of the crockery cooker base). To avoid pulling, tripping
or entanglement, position the cord so that it does not hang over the edge of the
counter, table or other flat surface areas or touch hot surfaces.
• Use an electrical outlet that accommodates the polarized plug on the crockery
cooker. On a polarized plug, one blade of the plug is wider than the other. To
reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet or extension cord,
reverse the plug. If the plug still does not fit fully, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not alter the plug.
• Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or
extension cord feels hot.
• Keep the cord away from hot parts of the appliance and hot surfaces during
operation.
