REMOVING LID AND CROCK

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.

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard: This appliance is
provided with a polarized plug (one wide blade) to reduce 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.
A short power-supply cord is used to reduce the risk resulting from
it being grabbed by children, becoming entangled in, or tripping
over a longer cord.
