SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

NORTH AMERICAN MODELS WITH POLARIZED PLUGS:
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.

POWER CORD INSTRUCTIONS

1. A short detachable power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
2. Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
3. If a longer detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
   1. The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
   2. The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally; and
   3. If the appliance is of the grounded type, the cord set or extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

NOTICES

• 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 finished wood table. We recommend placing a hot pad or trivet under your unit to prevent possible damage to the surface.
• 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.

HOW TO USE YOUR CROCKPOTGO™ ELECTRIC LUNCH BOX

1. Fill the removable stainless steel food container with desired food and place the food container lid on. Secure the lid by sliding the inner lid locks into the lock position . If lid is unable to be locked, you have overfilled the container. Close steam vent by pushing downward.
2. Place the food container inside the warming base and secure the outer lid using latches.
   Note: No separate heating or microwaving will be required for refrigerated foods. For best results, warm with food container lid and outer lid secured.
3. Plug power cord into unit before plugging into a 120V outlet. Once plugged in to the outlet, all three LED lights will illuminate indicating the unit is on and warming. To turn off, unplug unit from outlet.
   Note: Unit will not automatically turn off and will continue to warm unless it is unplugged.
4. Your CrockpotGo™ Electric Lunch Box is not meant to warm foods rapidly. Heat times will vary depending on the type of food being warmed and the starting temperature of the food. Stirring will help to speed up the time it takes to heat the food.
5. Before opening food container, release excess steam by pulling upward on the steam vent. Use both the pull tab and finger slot to help open the food container lid.
6. Once your food has reached your desired temperature, unplug the unit and enjoy your lunch right out of your CrockpotGo™ Electric Lunch Box.
   Note: The unit is not designed for use with uncooked food. If a recipe calls for uncooked meats, it should be fully cooked before combining with other ingredients and heating it in the unit.

Do not remove the inner food container from warming base while hot.
