Never immerse the body of the appliance or power cord and plug in water or any other liquid.
•
Never let the power cord hang over the edge of a worktop, touch hot surfaces or become knotted, trapped or pinched.
•
Do not touch the external surfaces of the appliance during use as they may become very hot. Use oven gloves or a
cloth when removing the lid. Beware of escaping steam when removing the lid.
•
NEVER attempt to heat any food item directly inside the base unit. Always use the removable cooking bowl.
•
Some surfaces are not designed to withstand the prolonged heat generated by certain appliances. Do not set the
appliance onto a surface that may be damaged by heat. We recommend placing an insulating pad or trivet under the
appliance to prevent possible damage to the surface.
•
Never attempt to plug anything other than the AutoStir attachment into the AutoStir power socket on the rear of the
appliance.
•
The AutoStir attachment is only for use with the supplied Crock-Pot™ stoneware and heating base.
Before you use your slow cooker, remove all packaging components and wash the lid, stoneware
cooking pot, and stirring attachments with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.
IMPORTANT NOTES: 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 surface that may be
damaged by heat. We recommend placing an insulated pad or suitably sized trivet under your slow
cooker to prevent possible damage to the surface.
Please use caution when placing your stoneware on a ceramic or smooth glass cook top stove, countertop, table, or other
surface. Due to the nature of the stoneware, the rough bottom surface may scratch some surfaces if caution is not used.
Always place protective padding under stoneware before placing it on a table or countertop.
