This product is intended for household
use only.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload do
not use a high wattage appliance on the
same circuit with the slow cooker.
The length of the cord used on this appli-
ance 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 slow cooker. 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.

Shock Hazard
• Do not immerse this appliance in water or other liquid.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electrical
