Hamilton Beach SC20 Manual page 3

The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or
tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved extension cord may be used. The
electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the appliance. Care must be
taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be
pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

REMOVING LID AND CROCK
When removing lid, tilt so that opening faces away from you to avoid being burned by steam.
The sides of the slow cooker's base get very warm because the heating elements are located here. Use
handles on base if necessary. Use oven mitts to remove crock.
