10. After the set cooking time has elapsed, the Multi-Cooker will beep and will automatically switch to the KEEP WARM
setting. The Display Screen will therefore change from the cook time to a new timer that will count up to 4:00 (4
hours) or until you press the START/STOP button. After 4 hours in the KEEP WARM setting, the Multi-Cooker will turn
off.
TIPS:
1. Do not keep rice in the pot for extended periods of time on the KEEP WARM setting, as the rice will become dry and
the quality will deteriorate. Use the supplied plastic spoon to stir and serve the rice. Do not use metal utensils, as
these will scratch the non-stick coating.
2. As rice grains can be delicate, at the end of cooking wait until the pressure releases naturally. Do not use the Quick
Pressure Release Method (see page 9 for instructions on the Natural Pressure Release Method).
3. Standard ratio for cooking rice -- 1 cup of uncooked rice : 1.5 cups of water
CAUTION: During cooking, steam will build up in the Multi-Cooker, so when lifting the Lid use a kitchen glove or mitt to
protect your hand.
TO CHANGE A SETTING
It’s easy to switch functions during cooking.
Press the START/STOP button and then select the new desired cooking function. A new timer will flash on the Display
Screen, and the selected function will also flash. Select the desired time, pressure, and/or temperature. Press the START/
STOP button and the new function will begin preheating.
To Change the Cooking Time:
You can change the cooking time before cooking begins by pressing the + and - buttons before pressing START/STOP.
Press and release to change slowly. Press and hold to change time quickly. If you pass the desired temperature or time,
press the opposite button.
To Change the Pressure:
You can change the pressure on certain pre-set functions before cooking begins by pressing the PRESSURE ADJUST
button before pressing START/STOP.
To Change the Temperature:
You can change the temperature on certain functions before cooking begins by pressing the TEMP ADJUST button before
pressing START/STOP.
CARE AND CLEANING
Cleaning should only be carried out when the the Crock-Pot
®
Express Multi-Cooker is cool and unplugged. Allow the Multi-
Cooker to completely cool before cleaning. Do not use the removable Cooking Pot on the stovetop, inside a microwave
oven or inside an oven. Use the pot only inside the Crock-Pot
®
Express Multi-Cooker Heating Base. Wash the Sealing
Gasket and Lid by hand in warm, soapy water. Dry all parts thoroughly.
Cooking Pot:
When removing the Cooking Pot from the Heating Base, always use two hands and lift directly upward. Failure to do so
may result in scratching the outside of the Cooking Pot (see figure 5).
Figure 5
If food sticks or burns to the surface of the Cooking Pot, then fill it with hot soapy water and let it soak before cleaning. Use
a rubber or nylon spatula to remove stubborn residue. If scouring is necessary, use a non-abrasive cleaner and a nylon
scouring pad or brush.
Although the Cooking Pot is dishwasher safe, we recommend hand-washing to preserve the non-stick coating and avoid
potential discoloration of the outer surface of the cooking pot.
If white spots form on surface of Cooking Pot, then soak it in a solution of vinegar or lemon juice and warm water for 30
minutes. Rinse and dry.
Note: Never use metal utensils or cleaning devices on the Cooking Pot, as this may result in scratching and damaging the
non-stick coating.
Exterior
Wipe the exterior of the Heating Base with a damp cloth and polish dry. DO NOT use harsh abrasives, scourers or
chemicals, as these will damage the surfaces. To prevent damage to the Multi-Cooker do not use alkaline cleaning agents
when cleaning. Only use a soft cloth and mild detergent. Never immerse the heating base, or power cord and plug in water
or any other liquid.
Condensation Collector
Empty any collected water from the Condensation Collector after each use. Wash in warm, soapy water.
Lid and Sealing Gasket
Always examine the gasket before each use. The silicon Sealing Gasket on the inside of your Multi-Cooker Lid may
deteriorate over time. Remove Sealing Gasket for cleaning as needed. Hand clean using warm, soapy water, dry
thoroughly, and replace Sealing Gasket in Lid before use. Leave the Lid upturned for storage, as this will also extend the
life of the gasket. Sealing Gasket may need to be replaced every 1 – 2 years depending on regular use. Contact Crock-Pot
®
customer service to order replacement parts.
Steam Release Valve
Ensure the Steam Release Valve is clear from debris before you begin using the Multi-Cooker. Remove the valve and
gently clean. Ensure it is completely dry before replacing.
Steam Release Valve Cover
The Steam Release Valve Cover is on the underside of the Lid. Ensure it is clear from debris before you begin using the
Multi-Cooker. To clean, carefully pull the cover off and clean using warm, soapy water. Press the cover back into its place
after cleaning is complete.
UNDERSIDE OF LID
Bobber Valve
Gently press the valve up and down 2-3 times and ensure it is clear from debris before you begin using the Multi-Cooker.
Lid Lock Pin
Gently press the pin and ensure it is clear from debris before you begin using the Multi-Cooker.
Note:
1. Condensation may collect inside the Heating Base under the removable Cooking Pot. This is normal. Allow to cool,
and then dry using kitchen cloth.
