The LED display timer will automatically show “2.0” which means cooking time is set for

hours. Use the two “Timer” keys (“+” or “-”) to adjust the timer to desired cooking
time. The timer can be adjusted in
“0.5" or 30-minute increments.

If you do not adjust the Timer Keys within 7 seconds of selecting a cooking
mode, the pot will default to standard cooking time which may be more
time than you need.

Remember that the Steam/Fast mode is meant to be used for 1-1/2 hours or
less.

After cooking completes, your food will be ready to serve. The Multi-Crock will
automatically enter to
“Warm” mode for up to 9.5 hours.
NOTE: You cannot change the cooking time once the Multi-Crock enters a cooking
mode
. Simply press “MENU/CANCEL” to cancel the current cooking mode and start
over.
Caution:
1. To prevent overflow: do not fill the cooker more than ¾ full of water and food.
2. Ensure all ingredients are fully cooked before serving. If food is not cooked through, restart
the cooking cycle to cook longer.
3. If the Stew or food becomes too dry, it may cause the cooker to overheat and you will hear a
warning “beep” as the cooker switches to the Warm cycle. You can cancel the cooking cycle.
Use the
“VitaClay Cooking Chart for VM7800” for first-time cooking. After that, reduce or
add liquid amount and cooking time as needed based on your results and preferences.
