• 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.
• Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or
extension cord feels hot.
• For household use only.

Please check all packaging material carefully before discarding. Accessory
parts may be contained within the packaging material.
Before using, wash the cooking pot, cover, and roasting rack as directed in the
“Cleaning your 6 Qt. Versatility™ Cooker” section of this manual. Wipe the non-stick
finish of the slow cooker heating base with a damp cloth and dry.
Using paper towel, wipe the non-stick interior of the cooking pot with a teaspoon of
vegetable oil. This will condition the non-stick finish to prevent sticking. NOTE: Do
NOT use shortening or butter to condition the finish. Leave a light film of oil on the
finish. The cooking pot’s non-stick interior will need to be reconditioned after each
time the cooking pot is 1) cleaned in an automatic dishwasher; 2) the finish is treated
with a special cleaner; 3) the finish is cleaned with lemon juice or vinegar to remove
a mineral film; or 4) when sticking becomes a problem during use. DO NOT
CONDITION THE NON-STICK SURFACE OF THE HEATING BASE BEFORE
USING IT AS A SLOW COOKER. The non-stick finish of heating base should only
be conditioned before it is used as a griddle.
