CROCK AND LID: PRECAUTIONS AND INFORMATION
REMOVING LID AND CROCK
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.
• The bottom of crock is very rough and can damage 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 or conventional oven.
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 hot mitts to remove crock.
