Lower Oven Operating instructions
(continued)
SLOW COOK
The slow cook feature may be used to cook foods more
slowly at lower oven temperatures. The cooking results will
be like that of
a Slow Cooker or Crock-Pot. This feature is
ideal for roasting beef, pork & poultry. Slow cooking meats
may result in the exterior of meats becoming dark but not
burnt; this is normal.
Slow cook may be set with the following options:
• Cook time
• Cook time and/or delay start
The following temperature settings apply to the slow cook
feature:
• HI: 275°F/ 134°C (default) for cooking 4 to 5 hours
• Lo: 225°F / 108°C for cooking 8 to 9 hours
See the example below to set a slow cook.
1. Press SLOW COOK to choose the Hi option -Fig. 1-.
2. Press SLOW COOK again to choose the Lo option
-Fig. 2-.

For best results
• Completely thaw all frozen foods before cooking.
• 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 open the oven door often or leave the door open
when checking foods. The more heat that is lost, the
longer the food will need to cook.
• Cover the foods to keep them moist or use a loose or
vented type 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 & the shape of the roast.
• Preheating the oven will not be necessary.
WARM & HOLD
The Warm & Hold feature will maintain an oven
temperature of 170°F (77°C). The Warm & Hold feature
will keep oven baked foods warm for serving up to 3 hours
after cooking has finished. After 3 hours the Warm & Hold
feature will shut the oven OFF. The Warm & Hold feature
may be used without any other cooking operations or may
be used after cooking has finished using Cook Time or Delay
Start.

to start immediately.

2. Press START
See example below to set warm & hold for the lower oven

2. Press WARM & HOLD.

NOTE
After 3 hours the Warm & Hold feature will shut the oven
OFF.
You may press STOP any time when setting the control or
