WARNING: When using electrical appliances especially when children are present, basic
safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,
and/or injury to persons, including the following:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug, or heating base in
water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Use oven mitts or 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 the
manufacturer (see warranty) for examination, repair, or adjustment.
1. Do not use outdoors.
2. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch heated surfaces.
3. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
4. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or
other hot liquids. Always use oven mitts when moving your heated slow cooker.
5. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
6. Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as adding refrigerated foods or cold
liquids into a heated pot.
7. To disconnect, turn the thermostat to the OFF position then remove plug from wall
outlet.
8. 14. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may
cause injuries.
9. Keep slow cooker 6 inches clear from the wall and 6 inches clear on all sides.
10. CAUTION: To prevent damage or shock hazard, do not cook directly in the heating
base. Cook only in the stoneware provided.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. It may be plugged into an AC
electrical outlet (ordinary household current). Do not use any other electrical outlet.

WARNING: 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.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Some countertop and table surfaces are not designed to withstand the
prolonged heat generated by certain appliances. Do not set the heated unit on a finished
wood table. We recommend placing a hot pad or trivet under your slow cooker to prevent
possible damage to the surface.
NOTE: Please use caution when placing your stoneware on a ceramic or smooth glass cook
top stove, countertop, table, or other surface. Due to the nature of the stoneware, the rough
bottom surface may scratch some surfaces if caution is not used. Always place protective
padding under stoneware before setting on table or countertop.
SHORT CORD INSTRUCTIONS
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement
or tripping over a longer cord. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension
cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use. If a longer
detachable power-supply extension cord is used:
1) The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at
least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance, and:
2) The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or
tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally.
LINE CORD SAFETY TIPS
1. Never pull or yank on cord or the appliance.
2. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.
3. To disconnect appliance, grasp plug and remove it from outlet.
4. Before each use, inspect the line cord for cuts and/or abrasion marks. If any are
found, this indicates that the appliance should be serviced and the line cord
replaced.
5. Never wrap the cord tightly around the appliance, as this could place undue stress
on the cord where it enters the appliance and cause it to fray and break.
IMPORTANT
During the first few minutes of initial use, you may notice smoke and/or a slight odor. This
is normal and should quickly disappear. It will not recur after appliance has been used a
few more times. This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with
reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge,
unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.
