NOTE: SEAR/SAUTE TIME is adjustable from 00:01 minutes to 00:30 minutes. SEAR/SAUTE TEMP is adjustable from 150°F to 400°F.

CAUTION: DO NOT USE COOKING SPRAYS. Cooking sprays can cause build- up and may affect the non-stick performance of your Multi-Cooker cooking pan.

BEAUTIFUL TIPS TO SHALLOW FRY IN YOUR MULTI-COOKER

• Avoid oil splatter. Make sure food is dry before frying.
• Batter coat food in flour, breadcrumbs or crushed nuts for best results.
• For crispier results, allow breaded foods to rest on a wire rack at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes before frying so the coating has time to set and dry.
• When frying breaded cheese and some breaded foods, refrigerate them before frying.
• Never crowd the cooking pan. Overcrowding results in a lower oil temperature, which causes food to steam, instead of fry.
• Food is ready to turn when the bubbles dissipate.
• Use tongs or a spatula to turn fried food. Continue to fry until done to your satisfaction.
• Always use an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature of the food. See USDA Guidelines in this Instruction Manual.
• Drain the fried food on paper towels as soon as it comes out of the oil.

SLOW COOK

NOTE: SLOW COOK TIME is adjustable from 00:30 minutes to 12:00 hours. SLOW COOK TEMP is adjustable from LO to HI.

1. Slow cooking is a long cooking technique utilizing low temperatures to infuse flavor and is ideal for stews, chili, long-cooking beans, soups, sauces, or cooking tougher cuts of meat.
2. Following your favorite Slow Cook recipes, cook on the LO or HI setting. Check food periodically for desired doneness.
3. Select Slow cook mode, adjust your time and your desired cooking temperature, Lo (Low) or Hi (High)
4. Press the power button, and cooking will begin, and the time will count down. After this cycle, when TIME expires (00:00), 3 beeps will sound as the Multi Cooker automatically advances to Warm function for 2 hours.

BEAUTIFUL TIPS TO SLOW COOK IN YOUR MULTI-COOKER

• Whole herbs and spices flavor better in slow cooking than crushed or ground.
• Foods cut into uniform pieces will cook faster and more evenly than foods left whole, such as roast or poultry.
