to avoid damages.
• Do not use outdoors.
• Make sure the unit is unplugged before moving the unit.
• Place the unit on a level surface away from walls and
cupboards. Do not let the cord hang over the edge of a
table or counter or touch hot surfaces. Keep 6 inches
clear on all sides.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is
used by or near children.
• Do not move the appliance during cooking.
• If you are using plastic utensils, do not leave them
inside the appliance when hot.
• Do not use sharp utensils in the unit to avoid damage.
• The glass lid has been specially treated to make it
stronger, more durable and safer than ordinary glass,
however it is not indestructible, please use caution when
handling the glass lid.
• Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles with dry pot
holders or oven mitts to move the unit.
• Do not use the unit near or under surfaces that are heat
sensitive or those that may be damaged by steam.

extremely hot.

• Do not set heated unit on a finished wood table. It is
suggested to place a trivet (not included) under the unit
to prevent possible damage.
• During cooking, do not remove the magnet from the
slow cooker as this can damage the surface of the
magnet.
• The magnet will be extremely hot during use, do not
touch.
• Use caution when placing your stoneware on a ceramic
or smooth glass stovetop, countertop, table or other
surface. Due to the nature of the stoneware, the rough
bottom surface may scratch some surface if caution is
not used. Always place protective padding (not included)
under stoneware before setting on a table or countertop.
• Do not put the glass lid in the oven or microwave. The
lids should never be used on a gas or electric burner.
• Do not use on any gas or electric burners.
• To avoid scalding from escaping steam while removing
the glass lid, carefully lift the lid.
• Extreme caution must be used since the unit contains
hot food, hot oils and liquids.
• To prevent damage or shock hazard, do not cook
directly in the heating base. Cook only in the stoneware
provided.
• 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.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning.
Allow to cool before cleaning.
• To prevent electrical shock do not immerse the cord in
water or other liquid.

• Do not operate unit with a damaged cord or plug or after
the unit malfunctions or has been damaged in any
manner.
• An extension cord my be used with care; however, the
marked electrical rating should be at least as great as
the electrical rating of the unit. The extension cord
should not be allowed to drape over the counter or
tabletop where it can be pulled on.
• The appliance has a polarized plug (one prong is wider
that 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 outdoors.
