Electric Cord Statement
-
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 cordset or an extension cord
when using this slow cooker, the cord must be arranged so it will not drape or hand 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 the underside of base).
WARNING
:
To prevent personal injury or property damage caused by fire, always unplug this and other
appliance when not in use.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fin in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If is still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use with an extension cord unless
the plug can be full inserted. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
SPECIAL NOTES
