SHORT CORD & POLARIZED PLUG
..
NOTE: A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised
in their use.
If an extension cord is used:
(1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should
be at least as great as the electrical rating of the product; (2) the extension cord should be
arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can
unintentionally be pulled on or tripped over by
children or pets
This appliance is equipped with a
polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other), please
follow the below instructions:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet
only one way.
If you are unable to fit the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the
plug.
If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Never use the plug with
an extension cord unless the plug can be fully inserted into the extension cord.
Do not
alter the plug of the product or any extension cord being used with this product.
Do not
attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug
BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME
..
Before using the slow cooker for the first time:
Remove all packaging materials, labels and tags from the product.
Wash the stoneware pot and glass lid in hot soapy water with a sponge or a dish cloth, rinse
thoroughly and dry.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT IMMERSE THE SLOW COOKER BASE IN WATER.
•
Do not allow the pot to stand in water for a long time (You can leave water in the pot to
soak).
•
There is an area on the base of the crock pot that has to remain unglazed for
manufacturing purposes. This unglazed area is porous, and therefore will soak up water,
this should be avoided.
•
Do not switch the cooker on when the crock pot is empty or out of the base.
PLEASE NOTE: The initial 15 minutes of use may result in minimal smell and smoke. This is
normal and harmless and comes from the protective substance applied to the heating elements
during manufacturing.
•
