Do not touch pot, cover or electric heating base when they are hot. Use oven mitts on handles when lifting or

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Your slow cooker needs no special care other than cleaning. See Warranty section in the booklet for service details. Do not
attempt to repair it yourself. For household use only.
WARNING:
To prevent personal injury or property damage caused by fire, always unplug this and other appliances when not
in use.
Electric Cord Statement
CAUTION:
Your Slow Cooker has a short cord as a safety precaution to prevent personal injury or property damage resulting
from pulling, tripping, or becoming entangled with the cord. Do not allow children to be near or use this Slow Cooker without
close adult supervision. If you must use a longer cord set or an extension cord when using this Slow cooker, the cord must be
arranged so it will not drape or hang over the edge of a countertop, tabletop or surface area where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over. To prevent electric shock, personal injury or fire, the electrical rating of the extension cord you use
must be the same or more than the wattage of the Slow Cooker (wattage is stamped on underside of base).
SPECIAL NOTE:
This booklet contains instructions for using slow cookers with different covers: a glass casserole style
cover, a plastic cover featuring a top knob handle and a glass cover featuring a top knob handle. Because the covers are made
of different materials, they require different use and care. Please be sure to follow the correct instructions for the type of cover
included with your slow cooker to prevent personal injury or property damage. Below are diagrams featuring the different
covers for identification and the special safeguards that follow:
