GETTING STARTED
This appliance is intended for household use only.
• Remove all packing material, any stickers, and the plastic band around the power plug.
• Go to www.prodprotect.com/applica to register your product.
• Wash all removable parts as instructed in CARE AND CLEANING. Place the clean,
dry stoneware pot in the cooking base
• Select a location where the slow cooker is to be used. Place the unit on a stable,
heat resistant surface, free from cloth, liquids and any other flammable materials.
Place the unit with ample space all the way around it, and far enough away from
the wall, to allow heat to flow without damage to cabinets and walls.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR
BLACK+DECKER SLOW COOKER
• The stoneware pot gets hot. When in use, always use oven mitts or potholders
when touching any outer or inner surface of the appliance
• If there is a power outage, the slow cooker will turn off. If this is discovered
quickly, continue cooking when the power is restored. If you are not sure how
long the slow cooker has been off, discard the food.
• During first few minutes of use you may notice smoke and a slight odor. This is
caused by oil that may have been used during manufacturing of the unit and will
not impact the performance.
• Do not add cold food if the stoneware pot is hot, and vice versa.
The stoneware material is not meant to handle sudden changes in temperature.
