POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade 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, reverse the plug. If
it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into
the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.
This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. No user-serviceable parts
inside. Power Unit never needs lubrication. Do not attempt to service this
product. Do not immerse base in water or other liquid. A short power-
supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement
or tripping over a longer cord. AN EXTENSION CORD MAY BE USED
WITH CARE; HOWEVER, THE MARKED ELECTRICAL RATING SHOULD
BE AT LEAST AS GREAT AS THE ELECTRICAL RATING OF THE SLOW
COOKER. The extension cord should not be allowed to drape over the
counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.
NOTE: During initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke and/or odor
may be detected. This is normal with many heating appliances and will
not recur after a few uses.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Some countertops, especially the Corian ® brand, and
other surfaces, are not designed to withstand the slow heat generated by
your Crock-Pot
® brand slow cooker. On such surfaces we recommend the
use of a heat-resistance pad or trivet. Rival ® is not liable for any damage
caused to such surfaces.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using. Clean all components before use.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs. CAUTION: Outside
of unit is hot during use.
The lid handle may get hot while cooking, use of an oven mitt while
handling is advised.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug, or
cooking unit in water or other liquid. CAUTION: Never submerge the
heating unit in water or other liquid. Never place food or liquid directly
into heating unit.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near
children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool
before putting on or taking off parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the
appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return
appliance to the manufacturer (see warranty) for examination, repair,
or adjustment.
7. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock or injury.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch heated
surfaces.
10. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.
11. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing
hot oil or other hot liquids. Always use hot pads when moving your
heated slow cooker.
12. Do not use appliance for other than intended use. Always use the
stoneware when cooking.
