IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Use electricity safely and wisely! Observe safety precautions when using your West Bend® Slow Cooker, including the
following:
•
Read all instructions before using.
•
Always attach cord to electric heating base first, then plug cord into wall outlet. After cooking and serving, unplug
cord from wall outlet. Let heating base cool completely before removing cord. Do not leave cooker plugged in when
it is not being used.
•
Cooker should always be unplugged before cleaning.
•
Do not let cord touch hot surfaces or hang over the edge of a counter, table, or other surface area.
•
The electric heating base, its cord, and plugs should not be used outdoors, immersed in liquid, placed near a hot gas or
electric burner or placed in a heated oven.
•
Do not touch pot, cover or electric heating base when they are hot. Use oven mitts on handles when lifting or
carrying. Be very careful when moving cooker if it contains hot liquid. Let cool before pouring out.
•
Supervise closely when cooker is being used by or near children.
•
Use your cooker only for the cooking tasks described in this booklet. Do not use attachments with your cooker unless
recommended by The West Bend Company.
•
Do not use your cooker if it or its cord has been damaged or if it is not working properly.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Your slow cooker needs no special care other than cleaning. See Warranty section in the booklet for service details. Do not
attempt to repair it yourself. For household use only.
WARNING: To prevent personal injury or property damage caused by fire, always unplug this and other appliances when not
in use.
CAUTION: Your Slow Cooker has a short cord as a safety precaution to prevent personal injury or property damage resulting
from pulling, tripping, or becoming entangled with the cord. Do not allow children to be near or use this Slow Cooker without
close adult supervision. If you must use a longer cord set or an extension cord when using this Slow cooker, the cord must be
arranged so it will not drape or hang over the edge of a countertop, tabletop or surface area where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over. To prevent electric shock, personal injury or fire, the electrical rating of the extension cord you use
must be the same or more than the wattage of the Slow Cooker (wattage is stamped on underside of base).
SPECIAL NOTE: This booklet contains instructions for using slow cookers with different covers: a glass casserole style
cover, a plastic cover featuring a top knob handle and a glass cover featuring a top knob handle. Because the covers are made
of different materials, they require different use and care. Please be sure to follow the correct instructions for the type of cover
included with your slow cooker to prevent personal injury or property damage. Below are diagrams featuring the different
covers for identification and the special safeguards that follow:
