Never submerge unit in water. Always unplug unit before cleaning.

• After emptying, fill with hot or warm soapy water to loosen food remains. Do not use abrasive cleaners — a cloth, sponge or rubber spatula will usually remove the residue. If necessary, a plastic cleaning pad may be used. Use a non-abrasive cleaner (Bon-Ami

Polishing

Cleanser) or vinegar to remove water spots or other stains.

• The outside case may be cleaned with a soft cloth and warm soapy water. Wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

• The lid may be washed in the top rack of the dishwasher.

HOW TO USE YOUR RIVAL®LITTLE DIPPER™

This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. No user-serviceable parts inside. Power Unit never needs lubrication. Do not attempt to service this product. Do not immerse base in water or other liquid. A short powersupply 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 LITTLE DIPPER™ . 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.

The Little Dipper™ is designed for heating and holding your favorite dip or fondue at the perfect serving temperature.

NOTE: The unit is not designed for use with uncooked meats. If a recipe calls for bacon, ground beef or chicken, it should be fully cooked before combining with other ingredients and heating it in the unit.

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.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT NOTE: Some countertops, especially the Corian

brand, and other surfaces, are not designed to withstand the slow heat generated by your Crock-Pot®brand slow cooker. On such surfaces we recommend the use of a heat-resistance pad or trivet. Rival

is not liable

for any damage caused to such surfaces.
