sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been
given supervision or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety.
5. This appliance is NOT a toy. Children should be supervised to ensure they do NOT play with

17. Do not cover the slow cooker or put anything on top of it while in use.
18. Do not use the slow cooker near or below curtains or other combustible materials.
19. Keep the power cord, the slow cooker, and the ceramic bowl away from hotplates, cook-tops
and burners.
20. Do not put a hot ceramic bowl on a cold surface or in cold water as it may crack.
21. Do not put cold water into a hot ceramic bowl or hot water into a cold ceramic bowl as it may

slow cooker.

malfunctioned, or been dropped or damaged in any manner. Contact customer service for
examination, adjustment, repair or replacement.
27. There are no user serviceable parts. If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
28. For added safety, electrical appliances should be connected to a power outlet that is protected
by a residual current device (RCD), also often referred to as a 'Safety Switch'. Your switchboard
may already incorporate an RCD. If unsure, call an electrician for verification and fitting if
necessary.
