OF RAW FOODS, AS THE SLOW COOKER WILL NOT GET HOT ENOUGH TO
COOK FOODS. DO NOT USE THE GRIDDLE SETTING FOR SLOW COOKING -
OVERCOOKING WILL OCCUR.
The temperature can be adjusted during the cook cycle. As a general guideline,
most meat and vegetable combinations need 7 to 10 hours of cooking at "LOW",
4 to 6 hours of cooking at "MEDIUM" or 2 to 3 hours of cooking at "HIGH". Meats
become most tender when cooked for longer times at lower heat settings. Avoid
removing the cover when slow cooking, as cooking time will be increased by the
loss of heat. Remove cover only when stirring is needed or when adding
ingredients.
5. Press the "TIME" down arrow button. The minutes will flash. Press the up arrow
button to set the desired cooking time minutes. Minutes increase in 5-minute
increments. Press the down arrow button again to select hours. Press the up
arrow button to set desired hours. The base will not heat if the timer is not set.
You cannot program the Versatility™ Slow Cooker to cook for longer than 19
hours, 55 minutes.
• The timer, once set, will count down in minutes. Pressing the "TIME" buttons
after the cycle has begun will not change set time. To reset cook time, the base
must be unplugged from the outlet.
6. When desired time is displayed, do not press any additional buttons. The time will
flash 3 times, the heating base will begin to heat, and the " : " between numbers
and the on light will flash.
7. When cook time has elapsed, the slow cooker will stop heating and turn off.
Unplug from the outlet. If additional cook time is needed, repeat steps 3-6 to set
temperature and time desired for cooking.
To Use as a Griddle:
The heating base can be used as a light duty griddle.
1. Turn the temperature dial to "GRIDDLE." Press "TIME" down arrow button. The
minutes will flash. Press the up arrow button to set desired cooking time minutes.
Minutes increase in 5-minute increments. For best results, preheat base for about
8 - 10 minutes before cooking. Please refer to the "Temperature Guide" below.
The heating base will perform only as a light duty griddle. "GRIDDLE" setting
should NEVER be used as a slow cooker setting.
2. When cook time has elapsed, the slow cooker will stop heating and turn off.
Unplug from the outlet, and allow to cool completely. Follow cleaning instructions
in the "Cleaning Your 6 Qt. Versatility™ Cooker" section of this manual.
• A small amount of smoke and/or odor may occur upon heating due to the
release of manufacturing oils – this is normal.
• Some minor expansion/contraction sounds may occur during heating and
cooling – this is normal.
