SLOW COOKING

LOW Setting: This is suitable for simmering and slow
cooking. Recommended cooking time in LOW is for 8 or
more hours.
HIGH Setting: This is for faster cooking. Recommended
cooking times in HIGH are from 4 to 6 hours.
KEEP WARM Setting: When cooking time is completed, the
Cooker automatically switches to the KEEP WARM setting
to prevent overcooking and to keep your cooked food warm
until serving - perfect for busy families, those on-the-go and
those who need flexible meal times. This setting is not hot
enough to cook and should only be used to keep cooked
food warm before serving.
Note: When slow cooking, the ideal fill level for your
ingredients is between the 1/2 and 2/3 marks. Never fill the
Cooking Pot above the MAX line.
USING THE SLOW COOK FUNCTION
The SLOW COOK function does not use pressure in the
cooking process, but some pressure can build inside the
unit during cooking. When using this function, ensure the
Steam Release Dial is in the "Release" position. This function
will cook similarly to standard slow cookers, using lower
temperatures and longer cooking times to achieve tender,
flavorful meals.
Place the Cooker on a flat, level surface.
Place Cooking Pot inside Heating Base. Plug the Cooker into a
wall outlet. The Cooker will beep, and the Display Screen will
illuminate with four dashes (- - - -).
1. Place your food and liquid inside the removable Cooking
Pot.
