Setting Slow Cook
The slow cook feature is best for cooking certain foods 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:
• Cook Time
• Cook Time with End Time
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
• When using a single oven rack, place in oven rack
position 2 or 3.
• 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 & the shape of the roast.
• Preheating the oven is not necessary.
To set slow cook:
1. Position oven racks and cookware in oven. Close the
oven door.
2. Press slow cook. 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.
3. Press start
4. To stop cooking at any time press off.
5. Slow cook can be changed between Hi and Lo by
pressing slow cook to toggle between the two settings.
Adjusting The Oven Temperature
The temperature in the oven is pre-set at the factory. When
first using the oven, be sure to follow recipe times and
temperatures. If you think the oven is cooking too hot or too
cool for the temperature you select, you can adjust the
actual oven temperature to be more or less than what is
displayed. Before adjusting, test a recipe by using a
temperature setting higher or lower than the recommended
temperature. The baking results should help you to decide
how much of an adjustment is needed.
To adjust the oven temperature higher:
1. Press bake for 6 seconds. UPO 0 will appear in the
display.
2. To increase the temperature use the number keys to
enter the desired change (Example 30°F) 3 0. The
temperature may be increased as much as 35°F (19°C).
3. Press start to accept the temperature change and the
display will return to the time of day. Press off to reject
the change if necessary.
To adjust the oven temperature lower:
1. Press bake for 6 seconds. UPO 0 will appear in the
display.
2. To decrease the temperature use the number keys to
enter the desired change (Example -30°F) 3 0 and then
press self clean. The temperature may be decreased
as much as 35°F (19°C).
3. Press start to accept the temperature change and the
display will return to the time of day. Press off to reject
the change if necessary.
The oven temperature adjustments made with this feature
will not change the self clean cycle temperature or the
broil temperature.
The oven temperature adjustments are permanent and
will stay forever in the unit memory unless you manually
change it again. Even a power outage will not reset these
changes. Follow the same procedure again if you wish to
change it to a different setting.
