LOW Setting: This is suitable for simmering
and slow cooking. Recommended cooking
times in LOW are from 6 to 8 hours.
HIGH Setting: This is for faster cooking.
Recommended cooking times in HIGH are
from 2 to 4 hours.
KEEP WARM Setting: When cooking time is
completed, the Cooker automatically switches
to the KEEP WARM setting to prevent
overcooking and to keep your cooked food
warm until serving - perfect for busy families,
those on the run and those who need flexible
meal times. This setting is not hot enough
to cook and should only be used to keep hot,
cooked food warm for serving.
The SLOW COOK function does not use
pressure in the cooking process, but some
pressure can build inside the unit during
cooking. When using this function, ensure
the Steam Release Valve is in the “Release”
position. This function will cook similarly
to standard slow cookers, using lower
temperatures and longer cooking times to
achieve tender, flavorful meals.
Place the Cooker on a flat, level surface.
Place Cooking Pot inside Heating Base. Plug
the Cooker into a wall outlet. The Cooker will
beep, and the Display Screen will illuminate
with four dashes (- - - -).
1. Place your food and liquid inside the
removable Cooking Pot.
2. Place the Lid onto the Cooker and align
with . To lock, rotate counterclockwise to
the LOCKED position.
3. Using the finger tab, rotate the Steam
Release Valve to the “Release” position.
4. Press the SLOW COOK button and adjust
the time and temperature as needed.
5. Press START/STOP. The time will begin to
count down.
6. After the set cooking time has elapsed,
the 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 Pressure Cooker
will turn off.
Slow Cooking
Using the SLOW COOK Function
Caution:
During slow cooking, steam may
build up in the Cooker, so when lifting the
Lid use a kitchen glove or mitt to protect
your hand.
Note:
When slow cooking, the ideal fill level
for your ingredients is between the 1/2 and
2/3 marks. Never fill the Cooking Pot above
the MAX line.
Note:
See the Cooking Guide on page 14
to find the possible time and temperature
adjustments.
TIP:
The SLOW COOK settings are in the
Cooking Guide on page 13.
Note:
Although this setting will not use
pressure in the cooking process, some
pressure can build inside the unit during
cooking. This is why it’s important to keep
the Steam Release Valve in the “Release”
position.
