SLOW COOK FUNCTION
For slow cooking, turn the control knob to the SLOW COOK setting. Note as you continue to turn the control knob, the unit will
change between the LOW and HIGH options. The default cook time is 4 hours on high and 8 hours on low. You can manually adjust
the slow cooking time in 30-minute increments by pressing the control knob once and then turning the knob to the desired time.
The maximum slow cooking time at both the high and low settings is 9 hours and 30 minutes and the minimum slow cooking time is
30 minutes. When the time is set, press the start button to activate the unit. COOKING will illuminate and the timer will immediately
begin counting down. As cooking progresses, the number of bars lit on the progress bar will increase.
PRESSURE COOKING PRESET PROGRAMS
The digital control panel includes 12 pressure cooking presets. Turn the control knob to select the desired program. NOTE: VEGGIES
has two presets, HIGH and LOW. Simply turn the knob to select one or the other.
Once the program is selected it will flash and the time and pressure for that program will be displayed, unless you have selected KEEP
WARM, BROWN, or SAUTÉ. Press the start button to activate the unit. For pressure cooking, the maximum cooking time is 2 hours
and the minimum cooking time is 0 minutes.
Because of the great variety of foods within a food grouping, the preset time may need to be adjusted manually. If you desire a time
different than that displayed for the program, press the control knob and the default cook time will begin to flash. Then turn the control
knob to increase or decrease the time. Once the time you desire is displayed, press the start button to activate the unit. NOTE: If
you fail to change the time, press the cancel button and try again. Use the cooking charts included in the recipe section as a guide for
recommended cooking times.
NOTE: Once the start button is pressed, the cooking time will disappear from the display. The time will reappear about a minute
before cooking begins. The unit begins counting down when the correct temperature is reached.
ADJUSTING PRESSURE MANUALLY
You can manually set the pressure instead of using the preset programs, if you prefer. Simply press and hold the control knob for a few
seconds. All of the preset cooking programs will disappear in the display window and the unit will reset to 00:00 and HIGH pressure.
The cook time will be flashing to indicate the unit is in adjustment mode. Turn the control knob to adjust the time. Once you have
set the desired time, if you want to adjust the pressure from HIGH to LOW, press the control knob again. HIGH will flash. Turn the
control knob until LOW is flashing. Press the start button to activate the unit. If you accidentally select the wrong pressure setting or
time, simply press cancel to reset the cooker and try again.
High pressure is suitable for meat, poultry, soups, and stews. Use low pressure for fish, some vegetables, beans, multigrains, and
desserts.
