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 triple slow cooker 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.

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

OFF/LOW/HIGH/WARM Dial(s) to the LOW or WARM position and serve.

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.

position, and unplug the Triple Slow Cooker.

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.
