IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
- READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING.
- Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles or knobs.
- To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse cord, plug, or heating base in water or other liquid.
- Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.
- Unplug from outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Use oven mitts or allow to cool before putting on or taking off parts.
- Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the manufacturer (see warranty) for examination, repair, or adjustment.
- Do not use outdoors.
- Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch heated surfaces.
- Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
- Extreme caution must be used when moving an appliance containing hot oil or other hot liquids. Always allow to cool before moving your heated food warmer.
- Do not use appliance for other than intended use.
- Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as adding refrigerated foods or cold liquids into a heated pot.
- To disconnect, remove plug from wall outlet.
- The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may cause injuries.
- Keep 6 inches clear from the wall and 6 inches clear on all sides.
- CAUTION: To prevent damage or shock hazard, do not heat directly in the heating base. Heat only in the removable inner vessel provided.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Do not attempt to service this
product.
A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from
entanglement or tripping over a longer cord. AN EXTENSION CORD MAY BE USED
WITH CARE; HOWEVER, THE MARKED ELECTRICAL RATING SHOULD BE AT LEAST AS GREAT
AS THE ELECTRICAL RATING OF THE SLOW COOKER. The extension cord should not be
allowed to drape over the counter or tabletop where it can be pulled on by
children or tripped over unintentionally.
POLARIZED PLUG
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. If the plug fits loosely into
the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm do not use that outlet.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Some countertop and table surfaces are not designed to
withstand the prolonged heat generated by certain appliances. Do not set the
heated unit on a finished wood table. We recommend placing a hot pad or trivet
under your food warmer to prevent possible damage to the surface.
NOTE: 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.
PREPARING YOUR LUNCH CROCK™ FOOD WARMER FOR USE
Get ready for your day by pre-filling your Lunch Crock™ Food Warmer before you leave home for the day with your favorite soups, chili, last night’s leftovers and more. Follow these steps for preparation:
- Fill the removable food container with desired food and place the food container lid on.
- Place the removable food container inside the warming base and twist the outer lid on until secure.
- Ensure the cord is wrapped around the base and go.
NOTE: Always carry the unit by the carry handle when traveling.
CROCK-POT® LUNCH CROCK™ FOOD WARMER
HOW TO USE YOUR LUNCH CROCK™ FOOD WARMER
Before you use your Lunch Crock™ Food Warmer, remove all packaging components
and wash the lids and removable food container with warm soapy water and dry
thoroughly. Never submerge the warming base in water and always unplug before
cleaning.
NOTE: The unit is not designed for use with uncooked food. If a recipe
calls for uncooked meats, it should be fully cooked before combining with
other ingredients and heating it in the unit.
-
Fill the removable food container with desired food and place the food container lid on. The capacity of the inner vessel is 20 ounces. Do not overfill.
-
Place the removable food container inside the warming base and twist the outer lid on until secure.
-
Plug in your Lunch Crock™ Food Warmer well in advance to desired meal time so that Lunch is Ready When you Are. The power indicator light will turn on and the unit will automatically begin to heat up the food.
-
It is normal for the removable food container lid to pop after the unit has been in warm mode. Should this happen, do not try and push the lid back down as the outer rim of the food container will be hot.
NOTE: The food container lid and outer lid do not need to be secured while the unit is heating and warming the food, but is recommended to avoid spilling and to ensure the quickest heating time. -
Your Lunch Crock™ Food Warmer is not meant to warm foods rapidly. Heat times will vary depending on the type of food being warmed and the starting temperature of the food. Stirring will help to speed up the time it takes to heat the food.
-
Once your food has reached the desired temperature, enjoy your lunch right out of the Lunch Crock™ Food Warmer.
CAUTION: Do not remove the inner food container before eating as the outside will be hot. -
Make sure the unit is unplugged when not in use.
Usage Notes:
- If there is a power outage and you are unaware of how long the power was out, we suggest you discard the food.

- This unit is not ovenproof or microwave safe.
- Always wear oven mitts when handling the unit.
CARE AND CLEANING
