Introduction to the BELLA LINX Slow Cooker
This unique BELLA LINX Serve & Store Slow Cooker expands from
1 to 2 to 3…up to 6 units sharing 1 power-supply cord. Prepare and serve
an array (up to 6!) of warm favorites. Each 2.5 slow cooker has its own
heating/warm control — dishes can be slow cooked to perfection or set to
serve warm for hours. Each LINX slow cooker has it’s own convenient metal
lid rest to stand the glass lid while serving! Units stack on top of each other
for compact storage.
Stoneware Pot Care
Like any ceramic, the stoneware pot may crack or break if not properly
handled. To prevent damage, handle with care!
WARNING: Failure to follow these instructions can cause breakage resulting
in injury or property damage.
• ALWAYS USE POTHOLDERS OR OVEN MITTS WHEN HANDLING ANY
HOT STONEWARE POT.
• DO NOT place any hot stoneware pot(s) on countertop. Use the
LINX base unit to serve. Keep hot stoneware pot(s) in the base unit’s
aluminum liner until cooled.
• DO NOT place any stoneware pot on range top burner, under a broiler,
microwave browning element, or in a toaster oven.
• DO NOT strike utensils against rim of any stoneware pot to dislodge
food.
• DO NOT use stoneware pot(s) to pop corn, caramelize sugar, or make
candy.
• DO NOT use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or any object that will
scratch the stoneware pot(s) or accessories.
• DO NOT use or repair any stoneware pot(s) or lid(s) that is chipped,
cracked, or broken.
• DO NOT use stoneware pot(s) for reheating foods or for general food
storage.
• Always place foods into the stoneware pot(s) at room temperature; then
place stoneware pot(s) into the aluminum liner before turning unit ON.
• NEVER heat stoneware pot(s) when empty.
Before Using for the First Time
1. Carefully unpack your LINX slow cooker unit(s). Remove all packaging
and materials from each LINX base unit (1, 2, or 3), stoneware pots (1,
2, or 3), glass lids (1, 2, or 3), metal lid rests (1, 2, or 3), and detachable
power-supply cord.
2. It is necessary to operate the slow cooker once before placing food in
the stoneware pot. Following the detailed instructions in the section
entitled: “BELLA LINX Slow Cookers Assembly Instructions,” link units
(2 or 3…up to 6) together.
3. Pour 1.5 cups of water into each of the 2.5 qt. stoneware pots.
Cover each stoneware pot with a glass lid.
