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.

BEFORE USING FOR THE FIRST TIME

1. Carefully unpack the Triple Slow Cooker and remove all packaging materials. Included in the box are the 3 lid rests. Be sure to remove from the box while unpacking the unit.

2. Place your Triple Slow Cooker on a level surface such as a countertop or table. Be sure the sides and back of the Triple Slow Cooker are at least 4 inches away from any walls, cabinets, or objects on the counter or table.

3. Wipe the Triple Slow Cooker base with a clean, damp cloth or sponge, then dry with another cloth. This will remove any dust that may have settled during packaging.

4. It is necessary to operate the Triple Slow Cooker one time before placing food in the cooking pots. Pour 4 cups of water into each of the cooking pots. Then place each cooking pot inside the Triple Slow Cooker base. Cover each cooking pot with a glass lid. Attach the 3 lid rest notch to secure the lid rests. (See Figure 1)

5. Plug the Triple Slow Cooker into a 120V AC outlet.

6. Turn each of the OFF/LOW/HIGH/WARM Dials to HIGH and allow to heat for approximately 30 minutes. You will notice a slight odor; this is normal and should quickly disappear.

7. Turn each of the 3 OFF/LOW/HIGH/WARM Dials to the OFF position and unplug the Triple Slow Cooker. Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes.

8. Wearing oven mitts, remove each of the 3 lids, then grasp each of the 3 cooking pots by the handles and carefully lift and remove from the Triple Slow Cooker; pour the water out of the cooking pots.

9. Wash all 3 removable cooking pots and lids in the dishwasher or in warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

10. Reinsert the 3 removable cooking pots with lids into the Triple Slow Cooker base to store.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: The 3 slow cooking stations work independently of one another. 1, 2 or 3 slow cookers may be used at any given time.

1. Prepare recipe(s) according to instructions.

2. Place 1 to 3 needed cooking pot(s) into the buffet base. To facilitate serving slow cooked foods, rotate each cooking pot so that the spoon notch faces front and to the side.

3. Add food to the cooking pot(s) and cover with glass lid(s).

IMPORTANT: DO NOT FILL THE COOKING POT(S) MORE THAN 3/4 FILLED

WITH FOOD.

NOTE: When cooking a meat and vegetable combination, place the vegetables in

the bottom of the cooking pot first. Then add the meat and other ingredients.

4. To ensure the efficient build up of heat, do not lift the lid(s) during the first 2 hours of cook time. Frequent lifting of the lid(s) during cooking delays the cooking time.

5. WARNING: The cooking pot(s) CANNOT stand the shock of sudden temperature

changes. If the cooking pot is hot, DO NOT add cold food. Before cooking frozen food, add some warm liquid.

6. Plug cord into a 120V AC outlet.

7. Turn OFF/LOW/HIGH/WARM Dial to select temperature setting: LOW or HIGH.

8. Cook according to recipe instructions.

9. Depending on the food served, when the cooking time is complete, turn the OFF/LOW/HIGH/WARM Dial(s) to the LOW or WARM position and serve.

10. Using oven mitts, carefully remove the glass lid(s) by grasping the lid knob(s) and lifting the lid slightly away from you. This will allow the steam to escape before removing the lid. Place the lids on the lid rests.

11. Allow a few seconds for all steam to escape. Then, using oven mitts, rotate each cooking pot so that the spoon notch faces front and to the side.

12. When serving is finished, turn all 3 of the OFF/LOW/HIGH/WARM Dial(s) to the OFF position, and unplug the Triple Slow Cooker.

13. Allow all 3 cooking pots to cool completely before cleaning, see CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS.

SO-309498_13789 BELLA Triple Slow Cooker IM_ES .indd 6 2014-06-30 10:28 AM

14. CAUTION: The filled Triple Slow Cooker is very heavy. To avoid injury to persons or damage to the appliance, NEVER ATTEMPT TO LIFT THE TRIPLE SLOW COOKER WITH 3 FILLED COOKING POTS IN PLACE. When cooking is finished, carefully remove each of the glass lid(s) by grasping the lid knob(s). Using the cooking pot handles, remove each cooking pot, one at a time. Clean and prepare the Triple Slow Cooker base for storing.

15. CAUTION: Even when turned OFF and unplugged, the Triple Slow Cooker base top surface may remain hot for some time after using; allow unit to cool before cleaning or storing.

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 sauce.

NOTE: 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

simmer until it has reduced to an appropriate amount. Season to taste 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 fat. 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.
