USING THE SLOW COOK FUNCTION (CONT.)
2. Place the Lid onto the Cooker and align
rotate counterclockwise to the LOCKED
3. Rotate the Steam Release Dial to the "Release" position.
Note: Although this setting will not use pressure in the
cooking process, some pressure can build inside the unit
during cooking. This is why it's important to keep the
Steam Release Dial in the "Release" position.
4. Press the SLOW COOK button and adjust the time and
temperature as needed.
Note: See the Cooking Guide on page 25 to find the
possible time and temperature adjustments.
5. Press START/STOP. The time will begin to count down.
6. After the set cooking time has elapsed, the Cooker will
beep and will automatically switch to the KEEP WARM
setting. The Display Screen will therefore change from the
cook time to a new timer that will count up to 4:00 (4
hours) or until you press the START/STOP button. After 4
hours in the KEEP WARM setting, the Cooker will turn off.
Note: As the SLOW COOK function does not cook under
pressure, you can remove the Lid during cooking to check
your slow cooking progress. Only lift the Lid if necessary. Since
slow cooking uses lower temperatures to cook, the Cooker will
not recover lost heat very quickly, which may impact cooking
times.
TIP: The SLOW COOK settings are in the Cooking Guide on
page 25.
CAUTION: During slow cooking, steam may build up in the
Cooker, so when lifting the Lid use a kitchen glove or mitt to
protect your hand.
