SETTING OVEN CONTROLS
Slow cook
The slow cook feature cooks foods more slowly, at lower
oven temperatures and provides cooking results much the
same way as a countertop slow cooker.
The slow cook feature is ideal for slow roasting beef, pork
and poultry. Slow cooking meats may result in the exterior
of meats becoming dark but not burnt. This is normal.
The slow cook feature has 2 settings available: high (HI)
or low (LO). The HI setting is best for cooking foods
from a 4 to 5 hour time period. The LO setting is best for
cooking foods from a 8 to 9 hour time period.
The maximum cook time for the slow cook feature is 12
hours unless the oven control has been changed to the
continuous bake or the Sabbath mode has been activated.
The slow cook feature may be used with the additional
settings of bake time or a delay Start (see Setting bake
time and start time features instructions).
To cook using the slow cook feature:
1. Arrange oven racks while the oven is still cool.
2. Place the food in the oven.
3. Press
slow cook . “- -” will appear in the display. If
or is not touched within 10-15 seconds, the
function will cancel.
4. Press to set HI setting ( HI will appear in the
display), or press to set LO ( Lo will appear in the
display). The oven indicator light below the display
will glow, indicating the oven has turned ON with the
settings you choose.
5. If needed, add any bake time or start time settings at
this time (see Setting bake time and start time
features instructions).
To cancel Slow cook feature press clear off at anytime.
For best results using slow cook:
• Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking with
the slow cook feature.
• When using a single rack, position the rack so that the
food is in the center of the oven.
• Position multiple racks to accommodate size of cooking
utensils when cooking multiple food item.
• 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 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 and 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.
Use caution with the timed bake and delayed timed
bake features. 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 cooking
is complete.
CAUTION
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.
