• Please handle crock and lid carefully to ensure long life.

do not place a hot lid or crock into cold water, or onto a wet
surface.
• Avoid hitting crock or lid against faucet or other hard
surfaces.
• Do not use crock or lid if chipped, cracked, or severely
scratched.
• Do not use abrasive cleansers or metal scouring pads.
• The bottom of the crock is very rough and can damage the
countertop. Use caution.
• The crock and lid can become very hot. Use caution. Do not
place directly on any unprotected surface or countertop.
• The crock is microwave-safe and oven-proof, but never heat
crock when empty. Never place lid on a burner or stove top.
Do not place lid in a microwave oven, conventional oven, or
on stove top.
REMOVING LID AND CROCK
When removing lid, tilt so that opening faces away from you
to avoid being burned by steam.
The sides of the slow cooker’s base get very warm because
the heating elements are located here. Use handles on base if
necessary. Use oven mitts to remove crock.

WARNING! Shock Hazard: This appliance has a polarized plug
(one wide blade) that reduces the risk of electric shock. The
plug fits only one way into a polarized outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the plug by modifying the plug in any way or
by using an adapter. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, have an electrician
replace the outlet.
The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to
reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in or tripping over
a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary, an approved
extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the
extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of
the appliance. Care must be taken to arrange the extension
cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop
where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped
over.
