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 CROCK-POT
®

should not be allowed to drape over the counter or tabletop where it can
be pulled on by children or tripped over.

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.
