SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

If the Glass Lid has chipped or cracked discontinue use.
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord is not recommended for use with this appliance, but if one must be used:
- The marked electrical rating must be at least as great as that of the appliance.
- If the appliance is of a 3-prong grounding type, the extension cord must be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.
- Arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over or pulled.
- If the appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other blade) to reduce the risk of electrical shock. This is a safety feature. The plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the plug with an extension cord unless you can fully insert the plug into the extension cord. Do not alter the plug. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

Descaling:
Descaling is the removal of mineral deposits from stainless steel. All water contains minerals including purified and filtered water. After your hot potsfirst use, you may see the first signs of deposits which may be white to reddish brown in color. These stains are not rust nor are they toxic. To descale your Hot Pot, fill it full of water, add a small amount of white vinegar, and boil. Unplug the Hot Pot and allow the solution to sit for an hour. For darker stains leave overnight. This willremove most deposits that have built up from normal use. Rinse out solution, add fresh water, and boil again. Allow to cool, follow with thorough cleaning, and dry before next use.
