The Crockpot
®
Express Multi-Cooker has been designed with safety in mind and has various safety measures.
1. Pressure will not build if the Lid is not shut correctly and has not sealed.
2. Ensure Lid is in the completely locked position and the is aligned with .
3. Pressure will not build if the Steam Release Valve has not been switched to the Seal “ ” position.
4. Over filling may cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and developing excess pressure.
5. The gasket and the valves can be removed for cleaning. (See page 15).
6. Once the pressure increases, the Lid cannot be opened. Safety sensors ensure the pressure remains within the set
range.
7. The Steam Release Valve has an extended finger tab, designed to keep the hand away from the top of the valve.
Always use a kitchen utensil when operating this tab. See RELEASING PRESSURE Instructions on page 11.
8. The pressure cooking functions require liquid to work. If the inside of the Cooking Pot does not have enough liquid, an
error will appear in the Display Screen. See ERROR CODES chart on page 17.
9. At the end of cooking, the Lid cannot be unlocked until all the pressure is released. This can be done using the
Natural Pressure Release Method or Quick Pressure Release Method, explained on page 11.
10. The Time Selection Buttons (+ and -) are used to set the cooking time. To advance slowly, simply press the + or -
button and release. To advance quickly, press and hold the + or - button. If you have passed the desired time, simply
press the opposite arrow button to return to the desired time.
NOTE:
The timer can be selected for all programs and can be changed at any time during cooking by pressing START/
STOP and selecting a new function.
11. The PRESSURE ADJUST button is used to select desired cooking pressure (HIGH or LOW). Each pre-set cooking
setting automatically selects the optimum pressure for that selection, but it can be manually selected with this button
(see the Cooking Guide on page 182 for available adjustments).
12. The TEMP ADJUST button is used to select desired temperature (HIGH or LOW). The temperature may only be
adjusted on the SLOW COOK, YOGURT, and BROWN/SAUTÉ functions (see the Cooking Guide on page 182 for
available adjustments).
13. The START/STOP button starts and stops a cooking function. It must be pressed to change from one cooking function
to another after cooking has begun.
14. The Display Screen shows how much longer the food needs to cook from the selected time in hours and minutes
once the Multi-Cooker is preheated. While the Multi-Cooker is preheating, the display screen will show, “HEAt”.
GETTING STARTED
(NOTE: The Multi-Cooker beeps as each button is pressed.)
1. Add desired ingredients to Cooking Pot. Place Lid on top of Multi-Cooker and align with . To lock, twist
counterclockwise, aligning with .
2. Plug provided Power Cord into the Power Cord Port of the Multi-Cooker.
3. Plug other end of the Power Cord into a wall power outlet.
4. Select the cooking function you would like to use.
5. The START/STOP button and the time on the screen will flash.
6. Select the desired cook time by using the + and - buttons. Select the desired temperature using the TEMP ADJUST
button (if applicable).Select the desired pressure using the PRESSURE ADJUST button. (Please refer to the Cooking
Guide chart on page 182 for time and temperature recommendations.)
7. Press the START/STOP button. For pressure cooking functions, the word “HEAt” will appear on the Display Screen
during preheating time. Once the Multi-Cooker is preheated, the selected cooking time will appear on Display Screen.
Note:
For Pressure Cooking functions, the average pre-heat time can vary depending on the volume and temperature
of the food being cooked. This can range from 5-30 minutes.
8. This Multi-Cooker allows you to delay the start of your cooking so that cooking finishes when you need it. See page 9
for instructions on the DELAY TIMER function.
9. After the set cooking time has elapsed, the Multi-Cooker will beep again and will automatically switch to the KEEP WARM
setting. The Display Screen will then 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.
10. To end a cooking function at any time, press the START/STOP button.
11. When finished, unplug the Multi-Cooker and wait for it to cool completely before attempting to clean.
CAUTION:
The Cooking Pot and Heating Base will get very hot while using this Multi-Cooker. Do not touch hot
surfaces. Always use pot holders or oven-mitts when using this Multi-Cooker. Always lift the Lid by tilting away from
you to avoid the steam.
HOW TO USE THE TIME DELAY
This Multi-Cooker allows you to delay the start of your cooking so that cooking finishes when you need it.
Note:
The DELAY TIMER function is not available on the BROWN/SAUTÉ, KEEP WARM, or YOGURT settings.
Note:
Do not use the DELAY TIMER function when the recipe has perishable ingredients such as meat, fish, eggs, or dairy,
as these may spoil.
1. Adjust the Multi-Cooker settings using the instructions on pages 10-14.
2. After setting the cooking time, press the DELAY TIMER button. The DELAY TIMER and START/STOP buttons will
flash, and “0:30” will flash on the Display Screen, to indicate the Multi-Cooker is being programmed on the delay
setting.
3. Press the + and - buttons until you reach the number of hours and minutes you want the cooking process to be
delayed (i.e., set the amount of time you wish to delay the cooking cycle).
4. Press START/STOP button to begin the delay feature. The timer and DELAY TIMER button will stop flashing, while
the START/STOP button will continue flashing. This will indicate that the Multi-Cooker has been set on the DELAY
TIMER setting. The Display Screen will countdown the delay time until 0:00 is reached. When 0:00 is reached, the
DELAY TIMER light will turn off and the START/STOP light will stop flashing to show that time delay has finished. The
word “HEAt” will appear on the display screen until the Multi-Cooker is fully pressurized. When the selected pressure
has been reached, the timer will start counting down.
Example:
It’s 4pm and you want to have a soup cooked and ready in 2 hours’ time for dinner at 6pm. You want to set the machine
now so you are free to do other things.
The pre-set function (if unchanged) will cook for 30 minutes at HIGH pressure. Time to gain pressure varies according to
humidity and water temperature, but let’s assume it takes 15 minutes to gain pressure. Therefore total time is 45 minutes.
To have the stew ready by 6pm, you will need to delay the start of your cooking by approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.
1. Press SOUP
2. The Display Screen will flash “0:30”
3. Press the DELAY TIMER button and set for “1:15”
4. Press START/STOP
COOKING POT MARKINGS
Inside the removable Cooking Pot are markings to guide the fill level of the Cooking Pot. The word MAX indicates the
maximum fill line.
The 1/3, 1/2, and 2/3 markings are handy guides to use in your recipes.
CAUTION:
Never load the Cooking Pot above the maximum ingredient level line marked MAX
on the inside of the Cooking Pot.
Foods that expand during cooking (e.g. rice) should never go above the 1/2 mark.
Note:
The Multi-Cooker cannot pressure cook without liquid. Ensure a minimum of 250ml of
liquid is used inside the removable Cooking Pot.
