Sunbeam 08EM1 Auto Cook Mode cont, Important Information About the Temperature Probe

Auto Cook Mode

The Auto Cook Mode automatically times and cooks your meal using a temperature probe. The pre-set meat options and digital thermometer ensure perfect results, regardless of variables that can effect cook time such as unit starting temperature, fresh or frozen food, food size or ingredients. Smart-Set™ slow cooker automatically switches to the WARM setting when cooking is done so that your meal stays WARM until it is served. Use this mode when taste is your top concern, as it was designed to produce optimal results every time.

1.Plug the temperature probe cord into the temperature probe jack on the heating base.

2.Insert the temperature probe into the thickest piece of meat or center of dish without touching any bone or fat.

•The notch in the stoneware allows the lid to close when temperature probe is plugged in.

NOTE: If the probe is removed from the temperature probe jack during programming or cooking, the Auto Cook Mode must be reset. The slow cooker will beep and display PROB OUT until the temperature probe cord is plugged back into the temperature probe jack.

3.Press the AUTO button to cycle through and select pre-set meat options from BEEF, POUL (poultry), PRK1 (bone-in pork), PRK2 (boneless pork), CHIL (chili), or STEW.

4.Press the TEMP button to select LOW or HIGH.

•WARM is ONLY for keeping already cooked food at the perfect serving temperature . DO NOT cook on the WARM setting.

5.Press the START/STOP button to start cooking.

•The upper display shows the pre-set meat selection, the lower display shows the internal temperature of the food, and the corresponding temperature selection illuminates.

•When the internal temperature of the meat reaches the safe temperature, the slow cooker beeps once, the upper display shows “SIMR,” and the lower display counts down additional cooking time until the food reaches its optimal taste.

•When the cook time expires, the slow cooker beeps twice, and the temperature shifts to WARM. The upper display shows WARM and the lower display is off.
