SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. No user-serviceable parts
inside. 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 RECIPE SMART-POT™. 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.
