No matter what you plan to cook, the
Set ‘N Forget
®
Slow Cooker has three
cooking modes to make it easy. Here’s
how to choose the one that’s right for
your lifestyle and the food you’re cooking.
Will you be away when your food
is finished cooking?
Use the PROGRAM Mode.
Input your preferred amount of cooking
time and the slow cooker automatically
shifts to Keep Warm at the end of the
selected cooking time. Food won’t
overcook!
Do you want to cook the tradi-
tional way without setting a time?
— OR —
Have you cooked a recipe on the
stovetop or in the oven and wish
to keep the food warm?
Use the MANUAL Mode.
Lets you select traditional High, Low
and Keep Warm settings.
Are you cooking a large cut of
meat or using a recipe that
requires food to reach a certain
temperature?
Use the PROBE Mode.
For many foods, especially large cuts
of meat like roasts, chicken, turkey and
pork, internal food temperature is the
best test for doneness. The tempera-
ture probe with this slow cooker takes
the guesswork out of slow cooking.
You select the desired internal food
temperature and the slow cooker will
automatically shift to keep warm once
the temperature is reached. So you
don’t have to worry about overcooked
or undercooked food making its way to
your table. By using the Cooking Guide
on page 7, you can estimate the
amount of time the food will
need to cook.
