PARTS IDENTIFICATION

BEFORE FIRST USE

Please read all instructions and important safeguards.
Remove all packaging materials and check that all items have been received in good condition.
Tear up all plastic bags as they can pose a risk to children.
Pull the cooking pot away from the cool-touch base and wash the cooking pot, base and lid with warm, soapy water using a sponge or dishcloth.
Rinse the cool-touch base and lid thoroughly to remove all soap residue, wipe the cooking pot clean with a dry cloth.
Condition the nonstick surface of the cooking pan with oil or vegetable shortening.

Do not clean with abrasive cleaners, metal scouring pads or products that are not considered safe to use on nonstick coatings.
Do not wash or immerse cord or plug in water or any other liquid. The cord and plug are NOT dishwasher safe.

TO ASSEMBLE THE LID

The lid will require some assembly.

Locate the lid handle. The screw needed to assemble the lid handle to the lid will be screwed into the lid handle.
Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, unscrew the screw from the lid handle.
Place the lid handle on top of the lid, so that it lines up with the hole in the lid correctly.
Place the screw beneath the lid so that it fits correctly through the hole in the lid and into the lid handle.
Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, tighten the screw until the lid handle is securely attached to the lid.

TO USE YOUR DEVICE

Place the cooking pot into the cool-touch base. It should snap securely into place.
Plug the temperature control probe into the port in the cool-touch base.
Turn the temperature control dial to the "OFF" position. Plug the power cord into an available power outlet.
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.
Turn the temperature control dial to the desired temperature. The indicator light will illuminate.
During operation, the indicator light will turn off and on once the selected temperature is reached to maintain temperature.
When cooking has finished, turn the temperature control dial to the "OFF" position and unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

information NOTE:

Wooden, heat-proof 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

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.

TO SLOW COOK or SIMMER

Follow Steps 1-3 from "To Use Your Device" section.

Place food inside the 3-in-1 Grillet. Add one cup of liquid for each hour of cooking including any marinade. Place the tempered glass lid on top.
Turn the temperature control dial to 300º F. 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.
During operation, the indicator light will turn off and on once the selected temperature is reached to maintain temperature.
When cooking has finished, turn the temperature control dial to the "OFF" position and unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

information NOTE

The 3-in-1 Grillet functions similar to a high slow cooker. For all recipes, follow high slow cook instructions to ensure best results.

HELPFUL HINTS

When adding liquid use half broth, half water for best flavor.
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

Follow Steps 1-3 from "To Use Your Device" section

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.
Turn the temperature control dial to a high setting. The indicator light will illuminate.
During operation, the indicator light will turn off and on once the selected temperature is reached to maintain temperature.
When steaming has finished, turn the temperature control dial to the "OFF" position and unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

information NOTE

Wooden, heat-proof 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.

During and after use, the glass cooking 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.
