Setting Oven Controls
Setting Slow Cook
The Slow Cook function may be used to cook foods more
slowly and at lower oven temperatures. Slow Cook provides
cooking results much the same way as a Slow Cooker or
C roc k- Pot.
Slow Cook is ideal for roasting beef, pork & poultry. Slow
cooking meats may result in the exterior of meats
becoming dark but not burnt. This is normal.
For Slow Cook two settings are available, high (Hi) or low
(Lo). The high setting is best for cooking foods from a 4 to
5 hour time period. The low setting is best for cooking
foods from a 8 to 9 hour time period.
Some tips for best results when using Slow Cook:
• Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking with
the Slow Cook.
When using a single oven rack, place in oven rack
position 2 or 3.
Position multiple racks to accommodate size of cooking
utensils when cooking multiple food items.
Do not open the oven door often or leave the door open
when checking foods. If the oven heat escapes often, the
Slow Cook time may need to extended.
Cover the foods to keep them moist or use a loose or
vented type cover to allow foods to turn crisp or brown.
Roasts may be left uncovered so browning can occur.
Cook times will vary; depending on the weight, fat
content, bone & the shape of the roast.
Use the recipe's recommended food temperature and a
food thermometer to determine when the food is done.
• Preheating the oven will not be necessary when using the
Slow Cook feature.
• Add any cream or cheese sauces during the last hour of
cooking.
FOOD POISONING HAZARD. Do not let
food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking.
Doing so can result in food poisoning or sickness. Foods
that can easily spoil such as milk, eggs, fish, meat or
poultry, should be chilled in the refrigerator first. Even
when chilled, they should not stand in the oven for more
than 1 hour before cooking begins, and should be removed
promptly when finished cooking.

1. Position cookware in oven and close oven door.
2. Press Slow Cook keypad. Hi will appear in the display
indicating the default temperature setting is for high.
3. If a low setting is needed, press Slow Cook keypad
again to select the low setting.
4. Press START t o activate Slow Cook.
To cancel Slow Cook at anytime press STOP.
Important notes:

Time and Delay Start.

and 59 minutes unless the control has been changed to
the continuous Bake mode.
