When using your Digital Slow Cooker (“appliance”), always follow basic safety precautions to
reduce the risk of fire, electric hazard, and injury to persons, including the following:
• Read all instructions.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use
handles instead. The body of your
appliance will become very hot
during long-time usage, so please
handle it carefully.
•
CAUTION:
To reduce the risk of
electric shock, cook only in the
Removable Crock.
• Close supervision is necessary
when any appliance is used by or
near children.
• To protect against electrical shock, do
not immerse the cord, plug, or cooker
body in water or any other liquid.
•
DO NOT
add water beyond the edge
of the Removable Crock. Otherwise,
water will flow out during cooking.
• Unplug from the outlet when not
in use and before cleaning.
Allow to cool before attaching
or detaching parts, and before
cleaning the appliance.
•
DO NOT
operate any appliance with
a damaged cord or plug, after the
appliance malfunctions, or has been
damaged in any way. Return the
appliance to the nearest authorized
service facility for examination,
repair, or adjustment.
• The use of accessory attachments
is not recommended by the
appliance manufacturer, as they
may cause injuries.
• This appliance is intended for
countertop use only.
•
DO NOT
use the appliance for
anything other than its intended use.
•
DO NOT
use outdoors.
• Extreme caution must be used when
moving an appliance containing hot
oil or other hot liquids.
• Do not let cord hang over the edge
of your table or counter, and do not
let it touch any hot surface.
• A short power-supply cord is provided
to reduce the risk of entangling or
tripping over a longer one, and to
prevent children from grabbing it.
•
WARNING:
Spilled food can cause
serious burns. Keep appliance and
cord away from children. Never drape
cord over edge of a counter. Never
use an outlet below a counter, and
never use with an extension cord.
• Prior to first use, please make
sure that the electric rating of the
appliance complies with the current
electric rating.
• To disconnect, turn any control to
“OFF”, then remove plug from
wall outlet.
•
DO NOT
place appliance on or near
a hot gas or electric burner, or in a
heated oven.
•
DO NOT
put anything frozen inside
the Removable Crock when heated.
•
DO NOT
lift the Lid when the Slow
Cooker is in use, otherwise the heat
will escape and affect your cooking
time. Longer cooking times may be
necessary if this occurs.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock,
cook only in the Removable Crock.
•
DO NOT
place the Removable Crock
on a gas stove.
• To avoid any cracks or spillage that
may occur, maintain proper care.

POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS
1. A short power-supply cord is
provided to reduce the risk of
tangling or tripping over a long one.
2. Extension cords may be used
only with extreme caution. If it is
necessary to use an extension cord,
position it so it does not drape over
the counter or tabletop, as it could
be pulled on or tripped over
by children.
3. The electrical rating of the
extension cord must be equal
to or greater than the rating of
this appliance. The label with the
electrical rating is located on the
underside of the appliance.
4. Avoid pulling or straining the
power cord at the outlet or
appliance connections.
POLARIZED PLUG
1. Your appliance is equipped with
a polarized plug (one prong is
wider than the other).
2. As a safety feature, this plug will
fit in a polarized outlet in only
one direction.
3. If the plug does not fit fully into the
outlet, flip the plug so the prong
size corresponds to the size of
the sockets. If it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to modify the plug
in any way.
BEFORE YOUR FIRST USE
Carefully unpack the Slow Cooker
and remove all packaging materials.
To remove any dust that may have
accumulated during packaging, wash
the Removable Crock and Glass Lid
with warm, soapy water. Wipe the
exterior of the Slow Cooker with a
clean, damp cloth. Allow to
dry completely.
WARNING
Do not submerge the Slow Cooker
unit, cord, or plug in water or any other
liquid. Do not use harsh detergents or
abrasive cleansers on any part of the
Slow Cooker.
NOTE
When you turn on your new Slow
Cooker for the first time, it may emit
a slight odor for approximately 10
minutes. This is normal during first use.
The odor is harmless, and should not
recur after initial heating.
