in the box are the 3 lid rests. Be sure to remove from the box while unpacking the unit.

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.

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

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.
