Electricity Precautions
• 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 if the appliance is not working properly or if it has been damaged
in any manner.
• 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 or freezer.
• Always attach cord to heating base first, then plug cord into electrical outlet.
After cooking, unplug cord from electrical outlet letting heating base cool
completely before removing cord and before cleaning.
• Your slow cooker has a short cord as a safety precaution 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 area.
• 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 slow cooker (wattage
is stamped on the underside of the slow cooker base). Position the extension
cord so that it does not hang over the edge of the counter, table or other surface
area.
• 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 during operation.
To prevent burns or other personal injuries to children, read and follow all
instructions and warnings.
Precautions For Use Around Children
• Always supervise children.
• Do not allow children to operate or be near the slow cooker, as the outside
surfaces are hot during use.
• Do not allow cord to hang over any edge where a child can reach it. Arrange cord
to avoid pulling, tripping or entanglement.
