CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION

POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS
1. A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazard resulting from entanglement or tripping over a long cord.
2. Extension cords may be used if care is exercised. If it is necessary to use an extension cord, it should be positioned
so that it does not drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on or tripped over by children.
3. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of this appliance. The label
with the electrical rating is located on the underside of the appliance.
4. Avoid pulling or straining the power cord at outlet or appliance connections.
POLARIZED PLUG
1. Your appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
2. As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
3. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, please contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
BEFORE YOUR FIRST USE
Carefully unpack the slow cooker and remove all packaging materials. To remove any dust that may have accumulated
during packaging, wash the removable stoneware crock and glass lid with warm, soapy water. Wipe the exterior of the
slow cooker housing with a clean, damp cloth. Allow to dry thoroughly.
WARNING
Do not immerse the slow cooker housing, cord or
plug in water or any other liquid. Do not use harsh
detergents or abrasive cleansers on any part of the
slow cooker.
NOTE
When you turn on your new slow cooker for the first
time, it may emit a slight odor for approximately
10 minutes. This is normal on first use. The odor is
harmless, and should not reoccur after initial heating.
