USING THE SLOW COOK FUNCTION (CONT.)
2. Place the Pressure Lid onto the Cooker and align
To lock, rotate counterclockwise to the LOCKED
3. Rotate the Steam Release Valve 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 Valve 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 29 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 Pressure Lid during cooking to
check your slow cooking progress. Only lift the Pressure 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 29.
CAUTION: During slow cooking, steam may build up in the
Cooker, so when lifting the Pressure Lid use a kitchen glove or
mitt to protect your hand.
