Operation; Programming Brown, Sauté, Sear; Slow Cook - Cuisinart MSC-800 Series Instruction Booklet

OPERATION

Cooking is simple with the Cook Central
4-in-1 Multicooker. Use the slow cooker
as you would a normal slow cooker, the
roaster as you would a normal oven and
brown/sauté as you would a skillet.
1. Select your cooking function.
2. Set your desired cooking time and
temperature.
3. Press START/STOP to begin cooking.
4. To turn off the heater at any time during
cooking, press START/STOP.
NOTE: Always use pot holders during and
after cooking, and always lift the lid away
from you – the unit is hot.
CHANGING SETTINGS DURING
COOKING
Switching functions during cooking
is easy. Press the new cooking function
button and the unit will adjust to the
default settings for your selection. Set your
desired time and temperature as needed.
You can adjust cooking time or
temperature at any point with the Time/
Temperature Directionals.
There is no need to press START/STOP
to select new settings.
COOKING WITHOUT A TIMER
If you do not wish to program a time, the
unit will cook at the selected temperature
until you manually turn the heater off. The
heater will turn off after the maximum
allowable cooking time for the selected
function has been reached.
NOTE: Do not leave the unit on 500°F for
over 1 hour – prolonged heat at this high
temperature can harm the nonstick coating
or overheat the unit.
SLEEP MODE
The multicooker is equipped with a power-
saving Sleep mode that will turn off the
lights if there is no use. The unit will also
enter this mode if you manually stop
cooking. Press any button to "wake up"
the unit and operate as normal.
PROGRAMMING

two beeps will sound. Add ingredients
to cooking pot—for best results, do not

5. Once cooking is complete, press
START/STOP to stop cooking, or if
you've browned ingredients as a first
step in your recipe, switch to the next
function in your recipe. There is no need
to press START/STOP again, as the unit
is already cooking.

hands-on task, you can set a cooking time
if you wish with the Time Directionals.

Unit will automatically shut off when
