If the problem persists, please contact Aroma® customer service toll-free at (800) 276-6286 or through email at CustomerService@AromaCo.com for repair service.

Assembling the Lid

2. Place the Handle on top of the lid. Make sure the hole on the Handle and hole on the Lid line up.
3. Place the screw under the lid so it fits into the hole from the Lid to Handle.
4. Tighten the screw into place. Be careful to not over-tighten.

Using Your 3-in-1 Grillet^®

1. Place the Cooking Pot into the Cool-Touch Base. It should snap securely into place.
2. Plug the Temperature Control Probe into the port in the Cool-Touch Base.
3. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the Off position. Plug the power cord into an available power outlet.
4. Add food to be cooked to the Cooking Pot. If desired, cover the pot with the Tempered Glass Lid to help decrease cooking time and ensure even cooking.
5. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the desired temperature. The indicator light will illuminate.
6. The indicator light will turn off once the Cooking Pot has reached the selected temperature. During operation, the indicator light will turn on and off, indicating the proper temperature is being maintained.
7. When cooking has finished, turn the Temperature Control Dial to the Off position and unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

During and after use, the Tempered Glass Lid and the Cooking Pot will become very hot. Be sure to use the handle and wear protective oven mitts or gloves. To prevent food borne illness, always make sure food is cooked thoroughly before serving.

Note:

• Wooden, heatproof plastic and nylon utensils are recommended. Metal utensils may scratch the nonstick surface.
• When slow cooking, simmering or steaming place the Tempered Glass Lid on top of the 3-in-1 Grillet ®.

To Simmer

1. Place the Cooking Pot into the Cool-Touch Base. It should snap securely into place.
2. Plug the Temperature Control Probe into the port in the Cool-Touch Base.
3. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the Off position. Plug the power cord into an available power outlet.
4. Place food inside the Cooking Pot. Place the tempered glass lid on top.
5. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the desired temperature. The indicator light will illuminate. When preparing soup or stew, allow extra time for it to simmer. This will allow flavors to fully blend and meat to become more tender.
6. During operation, the indicator light will turn off and on once the selected temperature is reached to maintain that temperature. If the temperature is set above 212°F when steaming or simmering, the indicator light will not turn off because the maximum temperature reached when cooking with liquid is the boiling point (212°F).
7. When cooking has finished, turn the Temperature Control Dial to the Off position and unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

Helpful Hints:
To thicken stew, mix in ¼ cup of flour with enough water to form a thin paste. Gradually add it to the stew, stirring until thickened.
If using fresh parsley or herbs in your recipe, add them in the last few moments of cooking to preserve flavor.
Canned stew tomatoes or water with bouillon seasoning and spices added make great stock starters for soups and stews.

To Steam

1. Place the Cooking Pot into the Cool-Touch Base. It should snap securely into place.
2. Plug the Temperature Control Probe into the port in the Cool-Touch Base.
3. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to the Off position. Plug the power cord into an available power outlet.
4. Place food on a heat-safe dish or metal rack that will fit inside the 3-in-1 Grillet ® with lid closed. Pour one cup of water (or more if needed) into the pot. Place food inside the Cooking Pot. Place the Tempered Glass Lid on top.
5. Turn the Temperature Control Dial to a high setting. The indicator light will illuminate.
6. During operation, the indicator light will turn off and on once the selected temperature is reached to maintain that temperature. If the temperature is set above 212°F when steaming, simmering or slow cooking, the indicator light will not turn off because the maximum temperature reached when cooking with liquid is the boiling point (212°F).
7. When steaming has finished, turn the temperature control dial to the Off position and unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

During and after use, the Tempered Glass Lid and the nonstick pot will become very hot. Be sure to use the handle and wear protective oven mitts or gloves.
To prevent food borne illness, always make sure food is cooked thoroughly before serving.

Note:

• Wooden, heatproof plastic and nylon utensils are recommended. Metal utensils may scratch the nonstick surface.
• All vegetables should be thoroughly cleaned and washed before steaming. Thin, leafy vegetables such as cabbage do not require as much water as root vegetables, such as carrots.
• Do not remove lid during steaming, as steam will escape and the cooking time will be extended.
• Food can be placed directly on the grilled surface of the pot for steaming.
