USING YOUR THREE STATION BUFFET
The Three Station Buffet is easy to use, just follow these
simple directions:
Your Three Station Buffet requires little assembly. Wash
each of the three heating pans and glass covers and dry.
Return each pan to the three heating wells, making sure
each pan drops into the well at a level position, and the glass
lid rests nicely without gaping.
Note that all temperature knobs should be at the off position
before you begin to use your Three Station Buffet.

USING YOUR THREE STATION BUFFET (CONT’D)
NOTE: Temperature Settings
Warm - 149 F / 65 C
High - 212 F / 100 C
(Illustration C)
COOKING AND HEATING
ƒ Uncooked food Fill each pan with desired food item.
Prepared, i.e.; vegetables, soup, chili or sauces and much
more can be placed directly into the pan and using the high
temperature and can be cooked in your Three Station Buffet.
Set the temperature controller to the desired temperature,
depending on what you are going to cook. The “HEAT”
indicator will come on.
IMPORTANT: It will be necessary for you to check the food
and stir occasionally (just as you would if you were cooking
on your stove.) Once the food is cooked to your satisfaction,
turn the temperature dial to warm to hold the serving
temperature.
When the “HEAT” indictor turns off (approximately 5-7
minutes), the unit has reached the corresponding
temperature.
5
USING YOUR THREE STATION BUFFET (CONT’D)
ƒ Cooked food Place cooked food directly in pans and
turn temperature to warm (or higher if desired) to
maintain the serving temperature. NOTE: The heat
indicator light will go on and off intermittently as the buffet
unit maintains your desired temperature.
USE CAUTION as with any non-stick finish, avoid using
sharp objects when stirring your food. Pre-cut portions
(meat, corn, potatoes, etc.) before placing into pans.
Never cut food while it is in the pans as this will shorten
the performance of the treated pan surface.
NOTE: The glass lids have been designed with a vent
escape hole. This allows the built up steam to release
slowly as the Buffet maintains temperature and keeps
your food warm.
ƒ When the amount of food in your pans is low (or gone),
be sure to turn off each individual unit. If food remains
and is covered it will maintain heat for a short period of
time.
Each control knob should be turned to the off position
when you are no longer using the heating well. Always
unplug the unit before cleaning.
6
CLEANUP
ƒ After being allowed to cool, remove each pan and glass
lid. These items can be submerged in soapy water
rinsing and wiping dry, for easy clean up. Not
recommended for dishwasher.
ƒ Wipe the exterior base unit with a damp cloth removing
food and liquid, preparing your buffet for the next use.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Repairing
ƒ If there is any breakdown or damage, the
appliance must be repaired by specialized people.
ƒ Non-specialized people are not permitted to
dismantle the appliance.
NOTE: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is
wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
