Setting Slow Cook (some models)

The slow cook feature is best for cooking at lower
temperatures for longer periods of time and works best for
beef (ribs and brisket), pork roasts, and poultry dishes.
Slow cook has two settings: Lo 225°F (108°C) and Hi 275°F
(135°C). Both settings can be used with the following
options:
• Bake time
Bake time with delay start
•

Slow cook tips:

•
Slow cooking meats may result in the outside of the
meat turning dark; this is normal.
• Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking
• When using a single oven rack, place in oven rack so
food is centered in oven.
• Position multiple racks to accommodate size of cooking
utensils when cooking multiple food items.
•
Add any cream or cheese sauces during the last hour of
cooking.
•
Do not frequently open the oven door or leave the oven
door open when checking food items. The more heat
that is lost, the longer the food will need to cook.
• Cover foods to keep them moist or use a loose or
vented cover to allow foods to turn crisp or brown.
•
Roasts may be left uncovered so browning can occur.
Cook times will vary depending on the weight, fat
content, bone, and the shape of the roast.
• Preheating the oven is not necessary.
To set slow cook:
1. Position oven racks and cookware in oven. Close the
oven door.
2. Press slow cook (some models). HI will appear in the
oven display indicating the default setting is for high
heat. If a low setting is needed, press slow cook again
to select the LO setting and release.
3. Press start.
4. To stop cooking at any time, press off.
5. Slow cook can be changed between Hi and Lo settings
by pressing slow cook to toggle between the two
settings. Press start to activate the new setting.

NOTE
If you choose to restore factory default settings, all of the
above user preferences will be restored to their original
settings (factory default). The oven temperature offset will
reset, and any stored recipes will be cleared.
To restore oven control to factory default settings:
1. When the oven is in idle and no cooking function is in
operation, press and hold the 7 key until the acceptance
tone sounds (about 6 seconds)
2. Press start. The control is now reset to default settings.

Calibrating Oven Temperature

The temperature in the oven is pre-set at the factory.
When first using the oven, be sure to follow recipe times
and temperatures. If you think the oven is cooking too hot
or too cool for the temperature you select, you can adjust
the actual oven temperature to be more or less than what
is displayed. Before adjusting, test a recipe by using a
temperature setting higher or lower than the recommended
temperature. The baking results should help you to decide
how much of an adjustment is needed.
To calibrate the oven temperature higher:
1. Press bake for 6 seconds. UPO 0 will appear in the
display.
2. To increase the temperature, use the number keys to
enter the desired change. For example, for 30°F, press
3 0. The temperature may be increased as much as
35°F (19°C).
3. Press start to accept the temperature change and the
display will return to the time of day. Press off to reject
the change if necessary.
