Page 4: Electrical Safety
ELECTRICAL SAFETY Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded. Do not expose appliances to rain or wet conditions. Water entering an electrically powered appliance will increase the risk of electric shock.
Page 5 12. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the appliance’s operation. If damaged, have the appliance serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained appliances. 13. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one appliance may become hazardous when used on another appliance.
Page 6: Specific Safety Rules
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES Maintain labels and nameplates on the Slow Cooker. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement. Use personal safety devices to reduce the risk of injury. Always wear oven mittens when handling hot cookware.

Before using the Slow Cooker, and after using this product, immerse the Inner Pot and Lid in warm, clean water and thoroughly wash with anti-bacterial soap.

Page 10: Extension Cords
EXTENSION CORDS Grounded appliances require a three wire extension cord. Double Insulated appliances can use either a two or three wire extension cord. As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage.

Slow Cookers have very little evaporation. If making your favorite soup, stew, or sauce, reduce the liquid or water called for in the original recipe. If too thick, liquids can be added later. If cooking a vegetable type casserole, add liquid in the recipe to prevent scorching on the sides of the Inner Pot (4).
