Operating Instructions
WARNING:
When using more than 1 LINX base unit, always make sure base
units are properly assembled with the tab along the side of each base unit
linked securely into the groove of the next unit.
1. Prepare recipe according to instructions.
2. Place food into the stoneware pot(s) and cover with glass lid(s). DO NOT
FILL ANY STONEWARE POT TO THE TOP WITH FOOD. For best results,
the slow cooker(s) should be at least half-filled. When cooking soups
or stews, allow a 2-inch space between the food and the top of the
stoneware pot, so ingredients can come to a simmer.
NOTE:
When cooking a meat and vegetable combination, place the
vegetables in the bottom of the stoneware pot first. Then add the meat
and other ingredients.
NOTE:
When cooking on HIGH, check cooking
progress, as some soups may come to boil. Remember that frequent
lifting of the lid during cooking delays the cook time.
WARNING:
The stoneware pot(s) CANNOT stand the shock of sudden
temperature changes. If any stoneware pot is hot, DO NOT add cold
food. Before cooking frozen food, add some warm liquid.
3. Plug the detachable power-supply cord’s connectors into the receptacle
on the right side of the assembled (1, 2, or 3 …up to 6) LINX base unit
(See Figure 4.).
4. Plug cord into a 120V AC electrical outlet.
5. Turn the appropriate control dial to select temperature setting:
LOW or HIGH.
6. Cook according to recipe instructions.
7. When cooking time is complete, turn the control dial to WARM
for serving.
8. To serve, using oven mitts, carefully remove any glass lid by grasping
the lid knob and lifting the lid slightly away from you. This will allow
the steam to escape before removing the lid. Allow a few seconds for
all steam to escape.
9. Use a serving spoon to stir cooked food, if needed. Rest spoon in the
spoon notch on the stoneware pot rim and replace lid. To serve food,
hang each lid on the wire lid rest behind the stoneware pot.
Replace each lid immediately after serving to retain heat.
10. If food is ready to serve, but
LINX slow cooker(s) need to be moved
to another location, NEVER CARRY MULTIPLE INTERCONNECTED LINX
BASE UNITS.
11. Wearing oven mitts, grasp each of the stoneware pot handles carefully
to lift and remove stoneware pot(s) (with lids) from each aluminum liner.
Place filled and covered stoneware pots in a safe, heat-proof, flat,
clean area.
12. First unplug, then, following the detailed instructions in the section
entitled: “Care & Cleaning Instructions,” disconnect all LINX base units.
