Do you have a question about the PSC-350 and is the answer not in the manual?
Questions and answers
I’m trying to use my slow cooker for the first time and the timer doesn’t work. If I set it for an hour it takes a lot more time than that to count down. Maybe I’m not doing it right? I’m following the instructions in the manual I think.
If the timer on your Cuisinart PSC-350 slow cooker is not counting down correctly, first ensure the unit is plugged in and turned on by pressing the On/Off button. Confirm that a cooking mode (High, Low, or Simmer) is selected, as the timer only operates when a mode is active. If the issue continues, try resetting the unit by turning it off and on again. If the problem persists, the unit may require service or replacement.
