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
• 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. 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 (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.
3. Press start. 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.
Warmer Drawer (some models)
The warmer drawer allows the user to
keep cooked foods warm until ready for
serving. Use the lo setting for keeping
baked goods warm, the med setting for
covered dishes, and the hi setting for
meats and poultry.
To set the warmer drawer
1. Press warmer drawer on-off key
2. The warmer drawer indicator light will
turn on. Toggle until the desired setting is
shown by the indicator light.
3. To turn warmer drawer off continue to press on-off until
the warmer drawer indicator light is off.
Note: Do not store any kitchen cookware or utensils in the
warmer drawer.
Adjusting 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 you can adjust the actual oven temperature to be more
or less than what is displayed. Do not use oven thermome-
ters such as those sold in grocery stores to check oven
temperature. These can vary greatly from the actual oven
temperature. 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 by 30°:
1. Press bake for 6 seconds. UPO 0 will appear in the
display.
2. Use the number keys to enter (example 30°F), 3 0. The
temperature may be increased as much as 35°F (19°C).
3. Press start to accept, or 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. Use the number keys to enter the desired
change (Example -30°F) 3 0. Then, press self clean.
The temperature may be decreased as much as 35°F
(19°C).
2. Press start to accept the temperature change or off to
reject the change if necessary.
Food Poisoning Hazard. Do not let food sit for more than
one hour before or after cooking. Doing so can result in
food poisoning or sickness.
