Usually premix it in a container and then pour it in.

Or pour in some water, then the 3 litres of coolant and then more water til it is full before starting the engine.

Don't start the engine with just the 3 litres of coolant. The concentrated coolant on its own is meant to reduce the freezing point and prevent corrosion, not remove the heat. The water content is the one that removes the heat.
