unit in water or other liquid.

Additional Safety Information
No user-serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt to service this product. Do not
immerse base in water or other liquid. A short power-supply cord is provided to
reduce the hazards resulting from entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. AN
EXTENSION CORD MAY BE USED WITH CARE; HOWEVER, THE MARKED
ELECTRICAL RATING SHOULD BE AT LEAST AS GREAT AS THE ELECTRICAL
RATING OF THE SLOW COOKER. The extension cord should not be allowed to
drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or
tripped over. NOTE: 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. 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.
