E5 NOTIFICATION CODE This code appears when either the lid or Steam Release Valve is
being used incorrectly for a non-pressure cook setting. Please note that the lid should never be
used when using the Brown/Sausetting. When using the lid during the Slow Cook or Yogurt
settings, the Steam Release Valve must be turned to the open or “Release” position. If you
receive the E5 Notification during any of these situations, then simply remove the lid while using
Brown/Sauté, or correctly position Steam Release Valve to “Release” while using Slow Cooking
or Yogurt, and then unplug the unit for at least 5 seconds, re-plug it in and re-program your cook
settings to begin cooking.
E6 NOTIFICATION CODE – If you receive this code while cooking, it means that the Express
Crock was unable to generate enough steam to pressurize completely. To resolve, follow the
steps below:
1. Make sure that the Steam Release Valve is turned to the closed or “Seal” position.
If it was not in the correct position, then rotate it to the correct position and jump
to step 3 below.
2. If the Steam Release Valve was in the correct position, then turn it to the “Release”
position and wait for the unit to de-pressurize. Then remove the lid and look
underneath it to make sure the Sealing Gasket (large rubber ring) is properly
secured to the underside of the lid.
3. Add another cup of liquid (water, broth, etc.) to the cooking pot, stir your ingredients,
and reattach the lid, making sure the Steam Release Valve is in the “Seal” position.
4. Unplug the unit for at least 5 seconds, and then re-plug it in and re-program your
cook settings to begin cooking.
