Crock-Pot 3860 Slow Cooker User Manual


 
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
is appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
No user-serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt to service this product.
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.  e extension cord
should not be allowed to drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on
by children or tripped over unintentionally.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Some countertop and table surfaces, such as Corian® and
other surfaces, are not designed to withstand the prolonged heat generated by certain
appliances. We recommend placing a hot pad or trivet under your slow cooker to
prevent possible damage to the surface.
NOTE: During initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke and/or odor may be
detected.  is is normal with many heating appliances and will not recur after a few
uses.
NOTE: Please use caution when placing your stoneware on a ceramic or smooth
glass cook top stove, countertop, table, or other surface. Due to the nature of the
stoneware, the rough bottom surface may scratch some surfaces if caution is not
used. Always place protective padding under stoneware before setting on table or
countertop.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed,
including the following:
1. Read all instructions before using.
2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.  e lid handle may get hot
while cooking; use of an oven mitt while handling is advised.
3. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug, or heating base in
water or other liquid.
4. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
5. Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow unit to cool
before putting on or taking off parts.

15. To prevent cracking, NEVER IMMERSE crockery in water or place under
running water if crockery has been left EMPTY on a heated stovetop or in
a heated oven for an extended period of time. Allow to cool down before
immersing in water.

POLARIZED PLUG
is appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider than
the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical
shock, this plug is intended to fi t in a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fi t fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fi t, contact a qualifi ed electrician. Do not attempt to defeat
this safety feature or modify the plug in any way. If the plug fi ts loosely into the
AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.
