Before First Use
• Ensure that the Triple Slow Cooker is unplugged from the mains power supply and turned off.
• Wipe the Triple Slow Cooker main unit with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
• Wash the removable cooking pots and tempered glass lids in warm, soapy water, then rinse and
dry thoroughly.
• Do not immerse the Triple Slow Cooker main unit in water or any other liquid.
Note: When using the Triple Slow Cooker for the first time, a slight odor may be emitted.
This is normal and will soon subside. Ensure that there is sufficient ventilation around the
Triple Slow Cooker.
Using the Triple Slow Cooker
1. Ensure that the Triple Slow Cooker is unplugged from the mains power supply and turned off.

2. It is recommended to wipe the outer surfaces of the removable cooking pots with a soft, dry
cloth before each use to make sure that they are fully dry. This will reduce the possibility of liquid
coming into contact with the Triple Slow Cooker main unit and causing damage.
3. Position the removable cooking pots into the relevant recesses in the Triple Slow Cooker main
unit.
4. Place the prepared ingredients directly into the removable cooking pots and then fit the
tempered glass lids.
5. Plug in and switch on the Triple Slow Cooker at the mains power supply.
6. To turn on the Triple Slow Cooker, set the heat control dial for the removable cooking pots
required for use to the desired heat setting ('HIGH', 'LOW’ or 'WARM').
7. Once cooking is complete, turn the relevant heat control dial to the 'OFF' position and unplug
the Triple Slow Cooker from the mains power supply.
8. The cooked food can be served directly from the removable cooking pots. Always use
heat-resistant silicone or plastic cooking utensils to serve food, to avoid damaging the surfaces.
Note: The tempered glass lids of the Triple Slow Cooker should not form a tight fit on the
removable cooking pots but should be placed centrally for the best results.
Note: It is not necessary to stir the ingredients during cooking. Do not repeatedly remove the
tempered glass lids, as this will affect the cooking temperature within the removable cooking pots
and cooking times.
Warning: Do not place the removable cooking pots onto any surfaces that may be affected by
heat.
Warning: Do not place food directly into the Triple Slow Cooker main unit without first fitting
the removable cooking pots into the relevant recesses.
Warning: The removable cooking pots and tempered glass lids will get very hot during operation.
Always wear heat-resistant oven gloves when removing the removable cooking pots from the
Triple Slow Cooker main unit.
Warning: Nominal voltage is still present even when the thermostat is turned to the off position,
to permanently switch off the Triple Slow Cooker, ensure that it is turned off at the mains power
supply.
Using the Heat Control Dials
The Triple Slow Cooker has been developed with a concealed, wrap-around element, which
provides a low, even temperature that allows for longer cooking times where possible. This
method of cooking means that food will not stick to the base of the removable cooking pots and
eliminates the need to stir the ingredients during cooking.
Low Heat Setting
The 'LOW' heat setting gently simmers food for an extended period of time without overcooking
or burning the ingredients. This setting is ideal for vegetable-based dishes.
High Heat Setting
The 'HIGH' heat setting is ideal for cooking dried beans or pulses and for baking. It will cook food
in half of the time required to cook food on the 'low' heat setting. As ingredients may reach boiling
point when being cooked on the 'high' heat setting, it may be necessary to add extra liquid during
the cooking process to prevent the removable cooking pots from 'drying out' during the cooking
process. This will depend upon the recipe and the amount of time it needs to be cooked for.

Warm Heat Setting
The 'WARM' heat setting allows for food to be cooked from frozen. Food cooked using this
setting is typically ready to be served after approximately 8-10 hours.
When set to the 'WARM' heat setting, the Triple Slow Cooker will first cook on the 'HIGH' heat
setting until the food defrosts and reaches a preset temperature. It will then automatically switch to
the 'LOW' heat setting, where it will maintain a constant low heat temperature for the remainder of
the cooking time.
Adjusting the Amount of Liquid during Cooking
When cooking food in the Triple Slow Cooker, very little moisture has a chance to boil away. It is
advisable to halve the liquid content of traditional recipes to compensate for this. However, if after
cooking the liquid content is still excessive, remove the tempered glass lids and operate the Triple
Slow Cooker on the 'high' heat setting for approximately 30-45 minutes or until the liquid reduces
by the required amount.
Hints and Tips
• Do not remove the tempered glass lids frequently, as this will result in heat loss to the removable
cooking pots.
• Trim all visible fat from meat or poultry before cooking.
• Cut root vegetables into small, even pieces, as they will usually take longer to cook than meat.
Vegetables should be gently sautéed for approximately 2-3 minutes before slow cooking. Always
ensure that root vegetables are placed at the bottom of the removable cooking pots and that all of
the ingredients are immersed in the cooking liquid. Uncooked red beans must be soaked and
boiled for at least 10 minutes to remove toxins before being cooked in the Triple Slow Cooker.
Dos and Don’ts
Do: Cut root vegetables into small, even pieces before adding to the removable cooking pots.
Do: Wear heat-resistant oven gloves when handling the tempered glass lids, as they will get very
hot during use.
Don't: Use the removable cooking pots if they are chipped or cracked.
Don't: Subject the removable cooking pots to sudden changes in temperature; adding cold water to
a very hot pan could cause it to crack.
Don't: Put the removable cooking pots or tempered glass lids in an oven, freezer microwave or on
a gas or electric hob.
Don't: Use the Triple Slow Cooker to reheat food.
Don't: Operate the Triple Slow Cooker without the removable cooking pots and tempered glass
lids in place.
Don't: Place food, water or other liquid directly into the recesses in the Triple Slow Cooker main
unit.
Care and Maintenance
• Before attempting any cleaning or maintenance, ensure that the Triple Slow Cooker is unplugged
from the mains power supply and has fully cooled.
• Wipe the Triple Slow Cooker main unit with a soft, damp cloth and dry thoroughly.
• Wash the removable cooking pots and tempered glass lids in warm, soapy water, then rinse and
dry thoroughly.

• Remove baked on food by applying a small amount of cooking oil and wiping it clean with a
paper towel.
• Do not immerse the Triple Slow Cooker main unit in water or any other liquid.
• Never use harsh or abrasive cleaning detergents or scourers to clean the Triple Slow Cooker, as
this could cause damage.
• The Triple Slow Cooker should be cleaned after every use.
Storage
• Before storing, ensure that the Triple Slow Cooker is cool, clean and dry.
• Never store while it is wet.
• Never wrap the cord tightly around the Triple Slow Cooker; wrap it loosely to avoid damage.
• Store in a cool, dry place.
Specifications
Input : AC 120V, 60Hz
Power : 420W
Short Cord Purpose
NOTE: A short power cord is provided to reduce the risk of personal injury resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.
Longer power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is
exercised in their use.
If an extension cord is used: (1) the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at
least as great as the electrical rating of the product; (2) the extension cord should be arranged so
that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can unintentionally be pulled on or
tripped over by children or pets.
Polarized Plug
If this appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other), please
follow the below instructions:
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet only one
way. If you are unable to fit the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the plug.
If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified technician. Never use the plug with an extension
cord unless the plug can be fully inserted into the extension cord. Do not alter the plug of the
product or any extension cord being used with this product. Do not attempt to defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.
