How To Use The Time Delay - Crock-Pot Express 6Qt Oval Max Owner's Manual

USING THE MANUAL SETTING WHILE PRESSURE COOKING
If you have a pressure recipe that requires a manual setting —
or if you simply want to pressure cook using your own pressure
setting and cook time — then select MANUAL PRESSURE and
adjust the pressure and cook time as desired. See the Cooking
Guide on page E25 to find the possible time and pressure
adjustments.

HOW TO USE THE TIME DELAY

This Cooker allows you to delay the start of your cooking so
that cooking finishes when you need it.
Note: The DELAY TIMER function is not available on
the BROWN/SAUTÉ, KEEP WARM, BOIL, SIMMER or
YOGURT settings.
Note: Do not use the DELAY TIMER function when the
recipe has perishable ingredients such as meat, fish, eggs, or
dairy, as these may spoil.
1. Adjust the Cooker settings using the instructions on
pages E17-E35.
2. After setting the cooking time, press the DELAY TIMER
button. The DELAY TIMER and START/STOP buttons
will flash, and "0:30" will flash on the Display Screen, to
indicate the Cooker is being programmed on the delay
setting.
3. Press the + and - buttons until you reach the number of
hours and minutes you want the cooking process to be
delayed (i.e. set the amount of time you wish to delay the
cooking cycle). The maximum delay is 4 hours (4:00).
4. Press START/STOP button to begin the delay feature.
The timer and DELAY TIMER button will stop flashing,
while the START/STOP button will continue flashing.
This will indicate that the Cooker has been set on

the DELAY TIMER setting. The Display Screen will
countdown the delay time until 0:00 is reached. When
0:00 is reached, the DELAY TIMER light will turn off and
the START/STOP light will stop flashing to show that
time delay has finished. The word "HEAt" will appear on
the display screen until the Cooker is fully pressurized.
When the selected pressure has been reached, the timer
will start counting down.
Example:
It's 4pm and you want to have a soup cooked and ready in
2 hours' time for dinner at 6pm. You want to set the Cooker
now so you are free to do other things.
The pre-set function (if unchanged) will cook for 30 minutes
at HIGH pressure. Time to gain pressure varies according to
altitude and water temperature, but let's assume it takes 15
minutes to gain pressure. Therefore total time is 45 minutes.
To have the soup ready by 6pm, you will need to delay
the start of your cooking by approximately 1 hour and 15
minutes.
1. Press SOUP/STEW
2. The Display Screen will flash "0:30"
3. Press the DELAY TIMER button and set for "1:15"
4. Press START/STOP
