Other Consumer Safety Information
To avoid an electrical circuit overload, do
not use a high wattage appliance on the
same circuit with this appliance.
The length of the cord used on this appli-
ance 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 acciden-
tally tripped over.

The Control Knob on the slow cooker
offers Medium and High temperature
settings for cooking. The Low setting
will hold a prepared recipe at a perfect
serving temperature.
The cast iron dish and cover are
oven-safe. They are not for use in
the microwave oven.
Cast iron cookware has superior heat
distribution and retention. Always use a
potholder or insulated glove when han-
dling cast iron dish when hot.
Cast iron dish and cover are cast from
molten iron in a sand mold and layered
with durable enamel finish. Each sand
mold is used once. Small irregularities
due to this traditional casting technique
and hand finishing will not affect the
cooking performance of this cast iron
cookware.
