surface.
• Avoid hitting crock or lid against faucet or other hard surfaces.
• Do not use crock or lid if chipped, cracked, or severely
scratched.
• Do not use abrasive cleansers or metal scouring pads.
• The bottom of the crock is very rough and can damage the
countertop. Use caution.
• The crock and lid can become very hot. Use caution. Do not
place directly on any unprotected surface or countertop.

crock when empty. Never place lid on a burner or stove top.
Do not place lid in a microwave oven, conventional oven, or

REMOVING LID AND CROCK
When removing lid, tilt so that opening faces away from you to
avoid being burned by steam.
The sides of the slow cooker’s base get very warm because
the heating elements are located here. Use handles on base if
necessary. Use oven mitts to remove crock.

WARNING!
Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug
(one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The
plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or
by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician replace
the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to
reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over a
longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension
cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord
must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care
must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not
drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on
by children or accidentally tripped over.
