This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug has one blade wider than the other. The plug will fit into an electrical outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload do not use a high wattage appliance on the same circuit with the slow cooker.
This appliance has a short cord to reduce the hazards of becoming entangled or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord may be used if electrical rating of extension cord is equal to or greater than the rating of the slow cooker. Use only an extension cord rated 10 amperes or greater. Care must be taken to arrange extension cord so that it will not drape over a countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over or pulled on by children.
CAUTION: Keep lid latch away from children. This feature, available on selected models (see page 7), is not a toy.
