To use your Slow Cooker:
Your De'Longhi Slow Cooker cooks food automatically once you set the time and the desired cooking mode. When time expires, the unit automatically switches to the Keep Warm setting and the Keep Warm indicator light illuminates.
When cooking time and mode are set, the unit will perform those functions until the cooking time expires or the unit is manually turned off.
Your De'Longhi slow cooker is provided with removable 6-qt. (5.7 L) aluminum pot with non-stick coating (H).
Pot can also be used as a serving dish at the dinner table. It is oven safe up to 450°F (230°C), and suitable for the stove top (gas burner stove or electric stove, not induction stove).
Pouring may be difficult if pot is full or nearly full, so it is recommended that you use a ladle to remove the contents from the pot.

Prep: 20 minutes
Cook: 8 hours
Total time: 8 hours 20 minutes
Ingredients:
Salt
Pepper
Smoked Paprika
4-5 pound chuck roast
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
2 whole sweet onions, peeled and halved
1 stalk celery cut into
4 pieces
12 baby carrots
1 cup red wine
2 cups beef broth
2 sprigs fresh rosemary
3 sprigs fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
2 tablespoons corn starch (if needed)
¼ cup beef broth (if needed)
Vegetables:
5 small red potatoes, cut into quarters
16 baby carrots

Directions:

Remove the insert from the slow cooker. Place the insert on the stove top and add the oil and butter. Heat over medium high heat. Place the onion halves, carrots and celery in the heated pan. Brown the vegetables on all sides. Remove the vegetables from the pan to a large plate. Place the seasoned roast in the pan adding more oil if needed. Sear the meat at least 3 minutes per side. Remove the meat from the pan adding it to the plate with the browned vegetables. Deglaze the pan by slowly pouring the wine into the pot. As the wine boils, stir to loosen any residual food material that was stuck to the pan from browning the vegetables and searing the meat. Once the pan has been deglazed, return the insert to the slow cooker. Add the browned vegetables back to the pan and place the meat on top of the vegetables. Lay the fresh herbs on top of the roast.

If the gravy is too thin, mix the corn starch and ¼ cup broth. Whisk into the pan gravy. Heat the gravy until boiling. Turn the heat down to bring the gravy to a low boil. Stir until the gravy thickens to desired consistency. To serve, divide the roast and vegetables into individual portions and top with the pan gravy.
