This product is intended for household use only.

This product is only intended for the preparation, cooking, and serving of foods. This product is not intended for use with any nonfood materials or products.

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.

CROCK AND LID: PRECAUTIONS AND INFORMATION

Please handle crock and lid carefully to ensure long life.

Avoid sudden, extreme temperature changes. For example, do not place a hot lid or crock into cold water, or onto a wet 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.

The crock is microwave-safe and oven-proof, but never heat crock when empty. Never place lid on a burner or stove top. Do not place lid in a microwave oven, conventional oven, or on stove top.

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.
