Slow Cooker

This product is intended for household
use only.

This appliance is equipped with a polarized
plug. This type of plug has one blade wider
than the other. The plug will fit into an elec­trical outlet only one way. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug
into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If
the plug should still fail to fit, contact an
electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.

Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose
of the polarized plug.

Slow Cooker Safety

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

1. Read all instructions.

2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles

or knobs.

3. To protect against electrical shock do not
immerse cord, plug, or base in water or
other liquid.

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

5. 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 is dropped
or damaged in any manner. Call our
toll-free customer service number for
information on examination, electrical
repair, mechanical repair, or adjustment.

7. The use of accessory attachments not
recommended by Hamilton Beach/

shock or injury.

table or counter, or touch hot surfaces,

Consumer Safety Information

To avoid an electrical circuit overload do not
use a high wattage appliance on the same
circuit with the slow cooker.

This appliance has a short cord to reduce
the hazards of becoming entangled or
tripping over a longer cord. An extension
cord may be used if electrical rating of
extension cord is equal to or greater than
the rating of the slow cooker. Use only
an extension cord rated 10 amperes or
greater. Care must be taken to arrange
extension cord so that it will not drape over
a countertop or tabletop where it can be
tripped over or pulled on by children.
