NOTES ON THE CORD

The provided short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) should be used to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Do not use an extension cord with this product. Always plug directly into a wall outlet/receptacle.

NOTES ON THE PLUG

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in 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 modify the plug in any way.

PLASTICIZER WARNING

CAUTION: To prevent Plasticizers from migrating to the finish of the counter top or table top or other furniture, place NON-PLASTIC coasters or place mats between the appliance and the finish of the counter top or table top. Failure to do so may cause the finish to darken; permanent blemishes may occur or stains can appear.

PREPARING FOR BUFFET SERVICE

If food to be served has been previously prepared and then refrigerated, warm food uncovered in a microwave-safe cooking bowl. Check at 3 minute intervals until serving temperature is been reached. Likewise, the oven may be used to warm foods before adding to the removable cooking pots prior to serving.

When temperature of the food is suitable for serving, add food to the cooking pots, replace cooking pots into the Triple Slow Cooker base. Rotate each cooking pot. Replace glass lids onto each cooking pot. Then turn each OFF/LOW/HIGH/WARM Dial(s) to WARM.

NOTE: The WARM Setting is not suitable for reheating foods. WARM is ONLY for keeping already cooked food warm. DO NOT cook on the WARM setting.

HINTS FOR SLOW COOKING

• Meats will not brown during the cooking process. If you desire browning, heat a small amount of oil in the removable cooking pot and brown meats on HIGH prior to slow cooking. Dredging meat in flour before browning thickens the cooking liquid into a wonderful sau

OTE: Skim fat and season before serving.

• Whole herbs and spices flavor better in slow cooking than crushed or ground.

• If a recipe results in too much liquid at the end of the cooking time, remove the glass lid and turn the SLOW COOK Dial to HIGH. After 30 to 45 minutes the amount of liquid will be reduced.

NOTE: If a quicker solution is needed, drain excess liquid it into in a small saucepan and si

mmer u

after the reduction.

• High fat meats can result in dishes with less flavor. Pre-cooking or browning will help reduce the amount of fat and help to preserve the color. The higher the fat content, the less liquid needed. If cooking meat with a high fat content, use thick onion slices under it so that the meat will not sit and cook in the If necessary, use a slice of bread, a spoon, or a straining spoon to skim off excess fat from top of foods before serving.

• Foods cut into uniform pieces will cook faster and more evenly than foods left whole such as roast or poultry.
