Setting Slow Cook (some models) The slow cook feature is best for cooking at lower temperatures for longer periods of time and works best for beef (ribs and brisket), pork roasts, and poultry dishes. Slow cook has two settings: Lo 225°F (108°C) and Hi 275°F (135°C). Both settings can be used with the following options: • Bake time. • Bake time with delay start. WARNING Food poisoning hazard: do not let food sit for more than one hour before or after cooking. Doing so may result in food borne illness. Slow cook tips: • Slow cooking meats may result in the outside of the meat turning dark; this is normal. Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking. Preheating the oven is not necessary. • When using a single oven rack, place in oven rack so food is centered in oven. Position multiple racks to accommodate size of cooking utensils when cooking multiple food items. • Add any cream or cheese sauces during the last hour of cooking. • Do not frequently open the oven door or leave the oven door open when checking food items. The more heat that is lost, the longer the food will need to cook. • Cover foods to keep them moist or use a loose or vented cover to allow foods to turn crisp or brown. Roasts may be left uncovered so browning can occur. Cook times will vary depending on the weight, fat content, bone, and the shape of the roast. To set slow cook: 1. Position oven racks and cookware in oven. Close the oven door. Press slow cook (some models). HI will appear in the oven display indicating the default setting is for high heat. If a low setting is needed, press slow cook again to select the LO setting and release. 2. Press start. 3. To stop cooking at any time, press off. 4. Slow cook can be changed between Hi and Lo settings by pressing slow cook to toggle between the two settings. Press start to activate the new setting. OVEN CONTROLS Setting Warm/Keep Warm Warm / keep warm is best for keeping oven baked foods warm for serving after cooking has finished. The warm/ keep warm key turns on the feature, and will maintain an oven temperature of 170°F (77°C). This feature will keep oven baked foods warm for serving up to 3 hours after cooking. After 3 hours, the warm/keep warm feature will turn the oven off. The feature may be used without any other cooking operations or can be set to turn on automatically after a bake time or delay start. Warm/keep warm tips: • Always start with hot food. Do not use the warm/keep warm feature to heat cold food. • Food in heat-safe glass and glass ceramic containers may need higher temperature settings compared to food in regular containers. • Avoid repeated openings of the oven, it will allow hot air to escape and the food to cool. • Aluminum foil may be used to cover food to increase moisture content.
