OPERATION
Your Cuisinart
®
Slow Cooker cooks
your food automatically when you
set the time and the temperature.
When time expires, the unit auto-
matically switches to the Warm
setting and the Warm indicator light
illuminates. Your Slow Cooker also
gives you the option to manually
change the temperature. All you
need to do is set the desired
temperature and the unit will remain
at that temperature until the unit
is turned off or another temperature
is selected.

dry counter.

timer dial to the recommended
cooking time: 1 to 8 hours using
half hour increments.

turning the temperature dial to
the Low, High or Warm setting.

The Warm setting is not
a cooking function; therefore,
it is for use only with preheated
foods.

ature setting. For the Warm

If the timer is set to

Cooking WITHOUT the Timer
NOTE:
Food Standards
Australia New Zealand (FSANZ)
recommends that when cooking
anything containing meat in a
slow cooker, it is important to
cook on the High temperature
setting for up to 2 hours or until
the meat reaches 60°C, then
reduce to the Low temperature
setting. This ensures that the
meat will reach food-safe
temperatures in the proper
amount of time.
Use the Low temperature
setting without the timer only for
recipes that require a constant
low temperature.
