SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be

followed, including the following:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug, or heating base

in water or other liquid.

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. Use oven mitts or

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. Do not use outdoors.
8. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch heated surfaces.
9. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
10. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil

or other hot liquids. Always use oven mitts when moving your heated slow

cooker.

11. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
12. Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as adding refrigerated foods or cold

liquids into a heated pot.

13. To disconnect, press/switch OFF then remove plug from wall outlet.
14. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may

cause injuries.

15. Keep 6 inches clear from the wall and 6 inches clear on all sides.

16. CAUTION: To prevent damage or shock hazard, do not cook directly in the

heating base. Cook only in the stoneware provided.

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.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt to service this product.
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 unintentionally.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Some countertop and table surfaces are not designed to

withstand the prolonged heat generated by certain appliances. Do not set the

heated unit on a finished wood table. We recommend placing a hot pad or trivet

under your slow cooker to prevent possible damage to the surface.
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.
NOTE: Please use caution when placing your stoneware on a ceramic or smooth

glass cook top stove, countertop, table, or other surface. Due to the nature of the

stoneware, the rough bottom surface may scratch some surfaces if caution is not

used. Always place protective padding under stoneware before setting on table

or countertop.
