CROCK AND LID: PRECAUTIONS AND INFORMATION
REMOVING LID AND CROCK
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.
• The bottom of the crock is very rough and can damage the
countertop. Use caution.
• The crock and lid can become very hot. Use caution. Do not
place directly on any unprotected surface or countertop.
• The crock is microwave-safe and oven-proof, but never heat
crock when empty. Never place lid on a burner or stove top.
Do not place lid in a microwave oven, conventional oven, or
on stove top.
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.
