Slow Cook is designed for long hours of unattended cooking.

Touch the SLOW COOK pad once for HI Slow Cook.

To change to LO Slow Cook, touch the SLOW COOK pad again.

Touch the number pads to select the desired setting – 1 for Beef,

2 for Poultry, 3 for Pork or 4 for Stews. Use 1–Beef if you are unsure which setting to use.

Touch the number pads to set the desired length of cooking time. For the HI setting, the cooking time

must be between 3 and 8 hours. For the LO setting, the cooking time must be between 3 and 12 hours.

Guideline Tips

■The slow cook program uses a complex series of temperature cycling to obtain the best results. For this reason, it is recommended that the slow cook program be allowed to run without cancelling or restarting. Restarting the slow cook feature while it is in progress may result in overcooked meat.

■For juicy and tender meat, choose cuts of meat such as chuck roast or a boneless blade roast. Leaner cuts of meat, such as top round, are drier and may need additional liquid.

■Use only glass and ceramic dishes. Metal pots and pans tend to transfer the heat into the foods too quickly.

■Match the quantity of food to the size pan. Fill the pan about 3/4 full for best results. Too large a pot allows the steam to escape, causing foods to dry out.

■Always cover the pot with a lid or aluminum foil.

■A wide range of recipes may be used in the slow cook feature. For best results some adjustments may need to be made. For smaller sized recipes, begin checking at minimum time. For large recipes or when doubling recipes, foods may be cooked for longer periods of time.

■When the slow cook feature completes,

the oven will automatically switch to “warm” mode. If additional slow cook time is desired, this warm mode may be used to obtain the extra time.
