Slow Cook Function

WARNING
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.
The SLOW COOK function in the warming drawer cooks food
slowly at a low temperature over a long period of time, similar to
a countertop slow cooker.
When the warming drawer is installed outdoors, the SLOW
COOK function should not be used when the temperature is
below 32°F (0°C).
There are 2 settings, Hi and Lo. Guidelines for cooking times are
4 to 5 hours for Hi and 8 to 10 hours for Lo. Smaller quantities of
food may require less time, while larger quantities may require
more time.
When slow cooking, use serving pans or oven-safe cookware.
Before slow cooking, thaw frozen foods completely.
IMPORTANT: Brown roasts thoroughly before starting to slow
cook.
To Use:
1. Push in and turn control knob to the SLOW COOK zone and
set the desired temperature, LO or HI. Preheating is not
necessary.
2. Place food into warming drawer. Food should be placed
directly on the bottom of the warming drawer. Do not use a
rack.
3. Close the warming drawer. Be sure that the warming drawer
is completely closed during operation.
4. Turn control knob to OFF when finished.
