Use and Care Manual

CARE: Use only wooden, nylon, or plastic utensils. Metal utensils can scratch or leave gray

marks. Stoneware insert can be washed by hand or in a dishwasher. Load carefully to avoid

stoneware-to-stoneware contact and bumping against other items during cycle.

DO NOT allow stoneware inserts to soak/stand in water for an extended period of time.

Applied heat after soaking may cause glaze crazing. If scouring is necessary, use only plastic

or nylon cleaning pads with nonabrasive cleaners.

• When removing the stoneware inserts from the heating base, be sure to use pot holders

or oven mitts.

• Do not set cooking pot directly on counter top or table; use a trivet or hot pad.

• Unplug unit and allow to cool after use. Do not pour cold water into hot stoneware insert.

GLASS LIDS

To prevent cracking or breaking of the glass cover, which may cause personal injury, cover

should be treated with special care.

CAUTIONS: Glass cover may shatter if it is exposed to direct heat or subjected to

severe temperature changes. Chips, cracks or deep scratches may also weaken the

cover.

• KEEP COVER AWAY FROM broiler, microwave oven, hot stovetop burners,

oven heat vents. If cover has been utilized in any of these locations, do not use it again,

even if there are no signs of damage. Order a replacement cover immediately.

• IF COVER BECOMES CHIPPED, CRACKED OR SCRATCHED, DO NOT USE IT.

Discard it and order a replacement.

• ALWAYS LET COVER COOL on a dry, heat-resistant surface before handling. Do not

place it on cold or wet surfaces, as this may cause it to crack or shatter.

• ALWAYS USE POTHOLDERS OR OVEN MITTS when removing the hot cover. To avoid

burns from escaping steam, always tilt cover away from hands and face.

HOW TO USE

1. Place the stoneware inserts into the heating base.

2. Add ingredients to the stoneware inserts and cover with the glass lids. Each of the

three sections of the buffet station has its own temperature control dial so one, two

or all three sections of the buffet station may be used.

3. Plug the power cord into the wall outlet and rotate the temperature control dial to

your preferred heat setting (HIGH-LOW-WARM).

NOTE: The WARM setting should NOT be used to cook foods or reheat

refrigerated foods. WARM should be used to maintain the serving temperature of

previously cooked foods.

4. When nished cooking, rotate the temperature control dial to the OFF position and

remove the plug from the wall outlet.

5. Remove glass cover. CAUTION: When removing cover, grasp the designated

area on the lid and lift to allow steam to escape before setting cover aside.

6. Serve contents. If serving directly from the stoneware insert, grasp stoneware

insert handles with hot pads or oven mitts to remove from the heating base.

Always place a trivet or protective padding under stoneware insert before placing it

on a table or countertop. It may have a rough bottom surface which could scratch

or cause damage to the surface.
