BEFORE USING
Solid surface countertops can be easily scratched, cracked, scorched, or damaged, especially
when exposed to heat. To prevent damage, the following precautions should be observed
when using this product:
• Always use a trivet under heat generating sources such as Slow Cookers, Toaster
Ovens, Skillets, etc.
• Do not place hot pans, pots, ceramic or stoneware inserts, etc. directly on the countertop
surface.
• Slow Cooker stoneware inserts have a rough bottom. To avoid scratching surfaces,
always place the stoneware insert on a heat resistant placemat or trivet.
1. Carefully unpack the buffet server. Remove all packaging materials.
2. Wash glass lids, stoneware inserts and any accessories in hot soapy water. Rinse well
and dry thoroughly.
3. Wipe interior and exterior surfaces of the base with a soft, moist cloth to remove dust
particles collected during packing and handling. NEVER IMMERSE THE BASE, CORD
OR PLUG IN WATER OR ANY OTHER LIQUID.
4. After cleaning, place stoneware inserts inside the base. Pour 2 cups of water into each
insert and cover with lid. Plug buffet server into electrical wall outlet and turn to HIGH
setting. Allow to operate approximately 20 minutes.
5. After 20 minutes, switch OFF and unplug. Allow unit to cool. Remove inserts, and
discard water. Rinse the inserts, dry thoroughly and replace them in the base.
