IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

1.Read all instructions before using.

2.Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.

The lid handle may get hot while cooking, use of an oven mitt while handling is advised.

3.To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug, or cooking unit in water or other liquid. CAUTION: Never submerge the heating unit in water or other liquid.

4.Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

5.Turn control to OFF before unplugging from wall outlet. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.

6.Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to Rival ® (see warranty) for examination, repair, or adjustment.

7.The use of accessory attachments not recommended by Rival® may cause fire, electrical shock or injury.

8.Do not use outdoors.

9.Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch heated surfaces.

10.Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner, or in a heated oven.

11.Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids. Always use hot pads when moving your heated Crock-Pot®slow cooker.

12.Do not use appliance for other than intended use.

13.To disconnect, turn control to OFF, then remove plug from wall outlet.

14.Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as adding refrigerated foods into a heated pot.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. No user-serviceable parts inside. Power Unit never needs lubrication. Do not attempt to service this product. Do not immerse base in water or other liquid. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. AN EXTENSION CORD MAY BE USED WITH CARE; HOWEVER, THE

MARKED ELECTRICAL RATING SHOULD BE AT LEAST AS GREAT AS THE ELECTRICAL RATING OF THE CROCK-POT®SLOW COOKER. The extension cord should not be allowed to drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over.

NOTE: During initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke and/or odor may be detected. This is normal with many heating appliances and will not recur after a few uses.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is

intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.

Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Some countertops, especially the Corian® brand, and other surfaces, are not designed to withstand the slow heat generated by your Crock-Pot®brand slow cooker. On such surfaces we recommend the use of a heat-resistance pad or trivet. Rival® is not liable for any damage caused to such surfaces.
