POLARIZED PLUG
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug is
intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If
the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into
the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.
This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. No user-serviceable parts
inside. Power Unit never needs lubrication. Do not attempt to service
this product. Do not immerse base in water or other liquid. 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. The extension cord should not be
allowed to drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on
by children or tripped over.
NOTE: During initial use of this appliance, some slight smoke and/or
odor may be detected. This is normal with many heating appliances and
will not recur after a few uses.
