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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
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.
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.
