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 intended to help reduce the
risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to
insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing
the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact a qualified electrician to replace the
obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat
the safety purpose of the polarized plug by
modifying the plug in any way.
To avoid an electrical circuit overload do
not use a high wattage appliance on the
same circuit with the slow cooker.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards
of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a
longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary an
approved extension cord may be used.
The electrical rating of the extension cord
must be equal to or greater than the rating
of the slow cooker. Care must be taken to
arrange the extension cord so that it will not
drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or
accidentally tripped over.

Parts and Features (cont.)
How much does your slow cooker hold?
The capacity of your slow cooker refers to the amount the cooking vessel can hold
if it is filled to the rim. However, in order to avoid food boiling over and spilling, we
DO NOT recommend filling to the rim. As a rule, you should select recipes that yield
1 quart less than the listed capacity of your cooking vessel. For example, if your
slow cooker is labeled as a 6-quart slow cooker, your best results will be achieved
using recipes that yield 5 quarts or less.
The Control Knob on the slow cooker
offers Low and High temperature
settings for cooking. The Keep Warm
setting is for holding the prepared
recipe at a perfect serving temperature.
The Keep Warm setting should only
be used after a recipe has been thoroughly cooked. Food should not be
reheated on the Keep Warm setting. If
food has been cooked and then refrigerated it must be reheated on Low or
High, then switched to Keep Warm.
Control Knob and Temperature Settings
Health Hazard
The Keep Warm setting should only be used after completely cooking the recipe
according to the instructions. The food must be hot enough to prevent bacterial
growth before using the Keep Warm setting. Do not use the Keep Warm setting
to reheat any food that has been refrigerated or frozen.
