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 slow cooker. 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. 840149601 Ev03.qxd 5/19/08 10:15 AM Page 23

• The stoneware dish should be at least half-filled for best results. If less than half-filled, check for doneness 30 minutes to one hour earlier than called for in the recipe.
