Electricity Precautions 
 
• 
To protect against electric shock, do not immerse cord, plugs, or other electric 
parts in water or other liquids. 
• 
Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug.  
• 
Do not use electric parts outdoors, or place them on or near a gas or electric 
burner, in a heated oven, refrigerator or freezer. 
• 
Do not plug cord into wall outlet unless crockery cooker is set in OFF position. 
• 
Always turn control to OFF and unplug the appliance from outlet when not in use 
and before cleaning.  Allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts. 
• 
Your crockery cooker has a short cord as a safety precaution to avoid pulling, 
tripping or entanglement. To avoid pulling, tripping or entanglement, position the 
cord so that it does not hang over the edge of the counter, table or other flat 
surface area. 
• 
While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one, make 
sure the cord has the same or higher wattage as the crockery cooker (wattage is 
stamped on the underside of the crockery cooker base). To avoid pulling, 
tripping or entanglement, position the cord so that it does not hang over the 
edge of the counter, table or other flat surface area. 
• 
Use an electrical outlet that accommodates the polarized plug on the crockery 
cooker. On a polarized plug, one blade of the plug is wider than the other. If the 
plug does not fit fully into the outlet or extension cord, reverse the plug. If the 
plug still does not fit fully, contact a qualified electrician. Do not alter the plug. 
• 
Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or 
extension cord feels hot. 
• 
Keep the cord away from hot parts of the appliance and hot surfaces during 
operation.
