OVEN CONTROLS
Setting Slow Cook (some models)
The slow cook feature is best for cooking at lower tempera-
tures 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.
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.
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.
To set warm/keep warm:
1. Arrange interior oven racks and place food in oven.
2. Press warm/keep warm. “HLd” will appear in the
display.
3. Press start. If start is not touched within 25 seconds
the request to turn on the feature will be canceled.
4. To turn off warm/keep warm feature at any time, press
off.
To set warm/keep warm to turn on automatically:
1. Arrange interior oven racks and place food in oven. Set
the oven properly for bake time or delay start. For delay
start instructions, see
page 24 . For bake time instruc-
tions, see page 24 .
2. Press warm/keep warm. If no key is touched within 25
seconds, the request to turn on the feature will be
canceled.
3. Press start. HLd will disappear and the temperature will
be displayed. The warm/keep warm is set to turn on
automatically after timed bake has finished.
4. To turn the feature off at any time, press off.
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.
