Step 2: SELECT COOKING MODE
Each time the digital slow cooker is powered on, you will notice
it displays default settings – Auto cooking mode and 6 hours
of total cooking time. However, you may adjust the settings to suit
your specific cooking needs. Press Start to Cook will blink on
the display panel until the Start/Cancel button is selected, if
a selection is not made within the allotted time, the slow cooker
will go into the "sleep" mode.
To modify the cooking mode, press the Up and Down arrows
positioned next to the cooking mode options. Select between
Auto, High, Low and Warm. Most slow cooker recipes
provide cooking times for either Low or High settings, please
use these as your guide. Consider the following general tips
for selecting a heat setting.
Auto – This automatically sets the slow cooker
to operate on High for two hours. Then, the slow
cooker switches over to Low for the remainder of
the programmed cooking time. Note that Auto will
be displayed, even though the slow cooker is cycling
through High and Low cooking temperatures.
At the end of the programmed cooking cycle, the
slow cooker will transition to Warm mode and keep
the food warm until serving.
High – Use this setting when time is short and you
need food cooked within a few hours. In general,
one hour of cooking time on High is equal to two
hours on the Low setting.
Low – Choose this setting when you want to place
food in the slow cooker in the morning and return
home in the evening to serve dinner. Many main
dish recipes cooked on the Low setting take eight
to ten hours.
Warm – Use this setting to keep cooked foods warm
until serving. DO NOT use the Warm setting to reheat
leftovers or to cook foods (since the temperature is not
hot enough to do so).
Step 3: SET TIMER
Your digital slow cooker is equipped
with a 24-hour digital timer, so it
can accommodate all of your slow
cooking needs.
To set the timer, press the Up or Down
arrows to increase or decrease the cooking
time in 30-minute increments.
Step 4: BEGIN COOKING
Note: The slow cooker does not begin
cooking until you press the Start/Cancel
button.
Once pressed, Start will stop flashing
and remain illuminated. Press Start to
Cook will disappear on the display and
Time Remaining will appear, indicating
the remaining cooking time. The time
remaining will be displayed and count
down until there is no time cooking time
remaining.
To Change Cooking Mode or Time: If you decide you’d like
to change the cooking mode or time during the cooking process,
you may press the corresponding Up or Down arrows to adjust
accordingly. The time will adjust by 30-minute increments.
To Cancel a Cycle: If you need to cancel a cooking cycle
for any reason, simply press the Start/Cancel button and the
slow cooker will stop cooking and return to default mode. The
default cooking modes will reappear and the Start/Cancel
button will flash.
