5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Filling the Pots

• Add your desired food items to each of the 1.5-quart ceramic pots.
• Do not overfill the pots; leave sufficient space for the lid to close properly.

5.2 Temperature Control

Each pot has an independent control knob with four settings:

• OFF: Turns the heating element off.
• LOW: For slow cooking and gentle warming over an extended period.
• HIGH: For faster cooking or bringing food to temperature quickly.
• WARM: Maintains food at a safe serving temperature after cooking.

1. Plug the appliance into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet.
2. Turn each control knob to the desired setting (LOW, HIGH, or WARM) for each individual pot.
3. Place the tempered glass lids on top of the ceramic pots.
4. Monitor cooking progress through the clear glass lids.
5. Once cooking is complete, turn the knob to the WARM setting to keep food ready for serving, or to OFF to turn off the unit.

The temperature settings table provides approximate temperatures for Low, High, and Warm settings over a 6-hour period. This allows for precise control over cooking and warming.

Each ceramic pot features a grooved rim designed to hold the included serving spoons, preventing drips and keeping the serving area tidy.

The three tempered glass lids allow for easy viewing of food. Stainless steel lid rests are included to keep countertops clean when serving.
