PROGRAMMING
BROWN & SAUTÉ
1. Press BROWN/SAUTÉ. A preset
temperature of 350°F will flash, as this
is the most commonly used Brown/
Sauté temperature.
2. Press Temperature Directionals to select
a different temperature (from 150°F to
400°F).
3. Press the START/STOP button to begin
preheating. Selected temperature will
flash during heatup.
4. When selected temperature is reached,
two beeps will sound. Add ingredients
to cooking pot—for best results, do not
crowd pot.
5. Once cooking is complete, press
START/STOP to stop cooking, or if
you’ve browned ingredients as a first
step, switch to the SLOW COOK
function now. There is no need to press
START/STOP again, as the unit is
already cooking.
NOTE: Though browning is usually a
hands-on task, you can set a cooking
time with the Time Directionals.
Countdown will start when selected
temperature is reached and unit will
automatically shut off when countdown
is complete.
SLOW COOK
1. Fill cooking pot with ingredients and
cover with lid.
2. Press SLOW COOK. A preset
temperature setting of LOW will flash,
as this is the most commonly used Slow
Cook setting.
3. Press Temperature Directionals to select
High, Low, Simmer or Warm. Refer to
chart on page 6 for more information.
4. Set desired cooking time (up to 24
hours) with Time Directionals.
5. Press the START/STOP button to begin
cooking. Selected time and temperature
setting (High, Low, Simmer or Warm)
will be displayed.
NOTE: If you browned ingredients before
switching to slow cooking, the unit is
already on, so Step 5 is not necessary.
6. When slow cooking on High, Low or
Simmer, the unit will beep five times at
the end of the cooking time and will
automatically switch to the Keep Warm
setting for 8 hours.
7. When Warm time elapses, one beep will
sound and heater will turn off.
8. To turn the heater off manually at any
time, press the START/STOP button.

or other liquid in cooking pot and insert

cannot be changed.
3. Set desired cooking time (up to 1½
hours) by pressing Time Directionals.
4. Press the START/STOP button to start
preheating. Selected time and temperature
will flash as unit heats up.
5. When steaming temperature is reached,
the unit will beep two times and the timer
will begin counting down cooking time.
6. Carefully lift lid away from you and place
food on rack, starting in the middle and
working your way out. Be sure to cover
pot with lid again.
7. When cooking time is completed, the
unit will beep five times and the heater
will turn off automatically.
8. Carefully remove food from pot with
spoon, fork or tongs.
9. To turn the heater off manually at any
time, press the START/STOP button.
NOTE: If all water has boiled away, the
unit will shut off, so be sure to add enough
for the desired steaming task.
