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.
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.
7. Do not use outdoors.
8. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch
heated surfaces.
9. Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a
heated oven.
10. Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing
hot oil or other hot liquids. Always use oven mitts when moving your
heated unit.
11. Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
12. Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as adding refrigerated foods
or cold liquids into a heated pot.
13. To disconnect, turn OFF then remove plug from wall outlet or
connecting units.
14. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer may cause injuries.
15. Keep 6 inches clear from the wall and 6 inches clear on all sides.
16. CAUTION: To prevent damage or shock hazard, do not cook directly in
the heating base. Cook only in the stoneware provided.
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 UNIT. 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 unintentionally.
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 t into a
polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not t fully into the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not t, contact a qualied
electrician. Do not attempt to modify the
plug in any way. If the plug ts loosely into the AC outlet
or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This appliance has a unique Patent Pending plug
design that will only allow it to work when used as a single unit and plugged
into a wall outlet or when using with other units in the Crock-Pot® Hook
Up™ Connectable Entertaining System. For your safety, do not attempt to
alter the product or plug in any other electrical products not sold with
this system.
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 nished wood table. We recommend
placing a hot pad or trivet under your unit to prevent possible damage to
the surface.
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.
This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt to service this
product. A retractable power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards
