HOW TO USE THE TIME DELAY

This Multi-Cooker allows you to delay the start of your cooking so that cooking finishes when you need it.

Note: The DELAY TIMER function is not available on the BROWN/SAUTÉ, KEEP WARM, or YOGURT settings.

Note: Do not use the DELAY TIMER function when the recipe has perishable ingredients such as meat, fish, eggs, or dairy,

as these may spoil.

1. Adjust the Multi-Cooker settings using the instructions on pages 10-14.

2. After setting the cooking time, press the DELAY TIMER button. The DELAY TIMER and START/STOP buttons will

flash, and “0:30” will flash on the Display Screen, to indicate the Multi-Cooker is being programmed on the delay

setting.

3. Press the + and - buttons until you reach the number of hours and minutes you want the cooking process to be

delayed (i.e., set the amount of time you wish to delay the cooking cycle).

4. Press START/STOP button to begin the delay feature. The timer and DELAY TIMER button will stop flashing, while

the START/STOP button will continue flashing. This will indicate that the Multi-Cooker has been set on the DELAY

TIMER setting. The Display Screen will countdown the delay time until 0:00 is reached. When 0:00 is reached, the

DELAY TIMER light will turn off and the START/STOP light will stop flashing to show that time delay has finished. The

word “HEAt” will appear on the display screen until the Multi-Cooker is fully pressurized. When the selected pressure

has been reached, the timer will start counting down.

Example:

It’s 4pm and you want to have a soup cooked and ready in 2 hours’ time for dinner at 6pm. You want to set the machine

now so you are free to do other things.

The pre-set function (if unchanged) will cook for 30 minutes at HIGH pressure. Time to gain pressure varies according to

humidity and water temperature, but let’s assume it takes 15 minutes to gain pressure. Therefore total time is 45 minutes.

To have the stew ready by 6pm, you will need to delay the start of your cooking by approximately 1 hour and 15 minutes.

1. Press SOUP

2. The Display Screen will flash “0:30”

3. Press the DELAY TIMER button and set for “1:15”

4. Press START/STOP

COOKING POT MARKINGS

PRESSURE COOKING

Pressure cooking is an ideal way to create quick, flavorful meals. Pressure cooking is a method of cooking food in liquid

(water, stock, wine, etc.) in a sealed Cooking Pot. The sealed Multi-Cooker retains steam and builds pressure, raising the

temperature of the liquid inside the pot above boiling point. The increased temperature of the liquid and the steam results in

reduced cooking times.

HIGH Pressure Setting is 6.5 - 10 PSI (45 - 70 kPa). It is suitable for a wide range of foods.

LOW Pressure Setting is 3.3 - 6.5 PSI (23 - 45 kPa). It is more suited to delicate foods like chicken fillet, fish and some

vegetables.

KEEP WARM Setting: When cooking time is completed, the Multi-Cooker automatically switches to the KEEP WARM

setting to prevent overcooking and to keep your cooked food warm until serving - perfect for busy families, those on the

run and those who need flexible meal times. This setting is not hot enough to cook and should only be used to keep warm,

cooked food for serving.

Ideal Meals to Pressure Cook: Soups, stocks, casseroles, sauces (e.g. pasta sauces), meat, rice, firm vegetables (beetroot,

potatoes) and desserts (e.g., pudding).

Capacity: Never fill the Cooking Pot above the MAX line. Foods that expand during cooking should never go above the

1/2 mark. The Multi-Cooker cannot pressure cook without liquid. Ensure a minimum of 250ml of liquid is used inside the

removable Cooking Pot.

MANUAL FUNCTION

This function allows the user to select their own pressure cooking time ranging from 1 minute to 2 hours, with a temperature

selection of Low or High. This is particularly suitable for those users who would like to pressure cook food items not covered

by our other cooking functions. This also gives the user greater scope for sourcing recipes from a wide range of sources.

Please follow our guidelines for Pressure Cooking on page 9.

USING THE PRESSURE COOKING FUNCTIONS

Place the Multi-Cooker on a flat, level surface.

Place Cooking Pot inside Heating Base. Plug the Multi-Cooker into a wall outlet. The Multi-Cooker will beep, and the

Display Screen will illuminate with four dashes (- - - -).

1. Place your food and liquid inside the removable Cooking Pot.

2. Place the Lid onto the Multi-Cooker and align with . To lock, rotate counterclockwise to the LOCKED position.

3. Using the finger tab, rotate the Steam Release Valve to the “Seal” position.

4. Select the desired cooking function

5. Adjust the cooking time and pressure if necessary.

Note: See the Cooking Guide on page 182 to find the possible time and pressure adjustments

6. Once you have made the desired adjustments, if any, press START/STOP.

7. The Multi-Cooker needs to gain pressure before pressure cooking can begin. When the Multi-Cooker is gaining

pressure, “HEAt” will appear on the Display Screen and the time will not count down. The amount of time the Multi-

Cooker takes to gain pressure varies according to humidity and water temperature, but average pressurization time is

5-30 minutes. When pressure has been reached, “HEAt” will disappear on the Display Screen, and the time will begin

to count down.

8. After the set cooking time has elapsed, the Multi-Cooker will beep and will automatically switch to the KEEP WARM

setting. The Display Screen will therefore change from the cook time to a new timer that will count up to 4:00 (4

hours) or until you press the START/STOP button. After 4 hours in the KEEP WARM setting, the Multi-Cooker will go

into stand-by mode, and the Display Screen will illuminate with four dashes (----).

TIP:

1. The pressure cooking settings are in the Cooking Guide table on page 182.

2. If the lid is not shut correctly or if the Steam Release Valve is not in the “Seal” position, the Multi-Cooker cannot gain

pressure and an ERROR message will appear in the Display Screen. Ensure that the Sealing Gasket is placed evenly in

the lid. See the ERROR CODES chart on page 17.

11

3. It is common for some steam to release through the Bobber Valve during the cooking cycle. This is part of normal

operation of the unit.

Note: The Multi-Cooker cannot pressure cook without liquid. Ensure a minimum of 250ml of liquid is used inside the

removable Cooking Pot.

Caution: During cooking, steam will build up in the Multi-Cooker, so when lifting the lid use an oven glove to protect your

hands.

RELEASING PRESSURE AT THE END OF COOKING

A. Natural Pressure Release Method: After cooking cycle is complete, let Multi-Cooker naturally release pressure

through the Bobber Valve. Unit will gradually cool down on its own. Wait at least 10 minutes after cooking has

completed. If using a higher volume of food and liquid, this can take up to 20 minutes. And then, using a kitchen

utensil, gradually flick the tab on the Steam Release Valve to the “Release” position (see Figure 2). Do not place

any part of your hand or body over the steam outlet on top of the valve, as steam is very hot and can scald skin. The

pressure has been released when steam is no longer escaping from the valve and the Lid opens freely with minimal

force. Only then is it safe to remove the Lid and serve food.

B. Quick Pressure release method should be used with caution: Using a kitchen utensil, gradually flick the tab on

the Steam Release Valve to the “Release” setting (see Figure 2). Steam will release rapidly from the Steam Release

Valve. Do not place any part of your hand or body over the steam outlet on the top of the valve, as steam is very hot

and can scald skin. Use this method with caution when cooking liquid ingredients such as casseroles, soups, stocks,

beans and pulses. Never use this method when cooking rice, as rice tends to be very delicate. The pressure has been

released when steam is no longer escaping from the valve and the Lid opens freely with minimal force. Only then is it

safe to remove the Lid and serve food.

CAUTION:

1. Do not force the Lid to open. If it does not open easily this means that the Multi-Cooker is still under pressure.

2. During cooking, steam will build up in the Multi-Cooker, so when lifting the Lid use a kitchen glove or mitt to protect

your hand.

SLOW COOKING

LOW Setting: This is suitable for simmering and slow cooking. Recommended cooking times in LOW are from 6 to 8 hours.

HIGH Setting: This is for faster cooking. Recommended cooking times in HIGH are from 2 to 4 hours.

KEEP WARM Setting: When cooking time is completed, the Multi-Cooker automatically switches to the KEEP WARM

setting to prevent overcooking and to keep your cooked food warm until serving - perfect for busy families, those on the

run and those who need flexible meal times. This setting is not hot enough to cook and should only be used to keep hot,

cooked food warm for serving.

Note: When slow cooking, the ideal fill level for your ingredients is between the 1/2 and 2/3 marks. Never fill the Cooking

Pot above the MAX line.

Due to the multi-functionality of the CSC051X appliance, its slow cooking function works in a slightly different way

to regular Crock-Pots. If using a recipe for a similar-sized Crock-Pot, you may need to increase the cooking time

for use with the CSC051X.

USING THE SLOW COOK FUNCTION

The SLOW COOK function does not use pressure in the cooking process, but some pressure can build inside the unit during

cooking. When using this function, ensure the Steam Release Valve is in the “Release” position. This function will cook

similarly to standard slow cookers, using lower temperatures and longer cooking times to achieve tender, flavorful meals.

Place the Multi-Cooker on a flat, level surface.

Place Cooking Pot inside Heating Base. Plug the Multi-Cooker into a wall outlet. The Multi-Cooker will beep, and the

Display Screen will illuminate with four dashes (- - - -).

1. Place your food and liquid inside the removable Cooking Pot.

2. Place the Lid onto the Multi-Cooker and align with . To lock, rotate counterclockwise to the LOCKED

position.

3. Using the finger tab, rotate the Steam Release Valve to the “Release” position.

Note: Although this setting will not use pressure in the cooking process, some pressure can build inside the unit

during cooking. This is why it’s important to keep the Steam Release Valve in the “Release” position.

4. Press the SLOW COOK button and adjust the time and temperature as needed.

Note: See the Cooking Guide on page 182 to find the possible time and temperature adjustments.

5. Press START/STOP. The time will begin to count down.

6. After the set cooking time has elapsed, the Multi-Cooker will beep and will automatically switch to the KEEP WARM

setting. The Display Screen will therefore change from the cook time to a new timer that will count up to 4:00 (4 hours)

or until you press the START/STOP button. After 4 hours in the KEEP WARM setting, the Multi-Cooker will turn off.

TIP: The SLOW COOK settings are in the Cooking Guide on page 182.

CAUTION: During slow cooking, steam may build up in the Multi-Cooker, so when lifting the Lid use a kitchen glove or mitt

to protect your hand.

STEAMING

The STEAM function is perfect for gently steaming fish and vegetables. It is pre-programmed to use the HIGH pressure

cooking setting. When steaming, use the Steaming Rack.

Capacity: When the Multi-Cooker is used with the STEAM function, the maximum capacity of liquid should be just under the

rack wires, so that the liquid is not touching the food.

Note: The unit cannot pressure cook without liquid. Ensure a minimum of 250ml of liquid is used inside the removable

Cooking Pot.

USING THE STEAM FUNCTION

Place the Multi-Cooker on a flat, level surface.

Place Cooking Pot inside Heating Base. Plug the Multi-Cooker into a wall outlet. The Multi-Cooker will beep, and the

Display Screen will illuminate with four dashes (- - - -).

1. Add 250ml of water to the bottom of the removable Cooking Pot and insert the cooking rack. Ensure water is just

under the wires of the rack so that food is not touching water.

2. Place your food on the cooking rack.

3. Place the Lid on and lock by rotating counterclockwise to the LOCKED position.

4. Using the finger tab, flick the Steam Release Valve to the “Seal” position.

5. Press the STEAM button and adjust the time and pressure as needed.

Note: See the Cooking Guide on page 182 to find the possible time and pressure adjustments.

6. Once you have made the desired adjustments, if any, press START/STOP.

7. The Multi-Cooker needs to gain pressure before pressure cooking can begin. When the Multi-Cooker is gaining

pressure, “HEAt” will appear on the Display Screen and the time will not count down. When pressure has been

reached, “HEAt” will disappear on the Display Screen, and the time will begin to count down.

8. After the set cooking time has elapsed, the Multi-Cooker will beep and will automatically switch to the KEEP WARM

setting. The Display Screen will therefore change from the cook time to a new timer that will count up to 4:00 (4 hours) or

13

until you press the START/STOP button. After 4 hours in the KEEP WARM setting, the Multi-Cooker will turn off.

TIP: See the Steaming Chart on page 183.

CAUTION: During cooking, steam will build up in the Multi-Cooker, so when lifting the Lid use a kitchen glove or mitt to

protect your hand.

USING THE BROWN/SAUTÉ FUNCTION

This setting does not cook under pressure. It works similarly to standard cooking, requiring dry heat, and therefore does not

need the Lid. Do not use the Lid with this function.

Place the Multi-Cooker on a flat, level surface.

Place Cooking Pot inside Heating Base. Plug the Multi-Cooker into a wall outlet. The Multi-Cooker will beep, and the

Display Screen will illuminate with four dashes (- - - -).

1. Select the BROWN/SAUTÉ function and adjust the time and temperature if necessary, using the + and - buttons.

2. Press START/STOP.

3. When the Multi-Cooker is pre-heating, “HEAt” will appear on the Display Screen. When the temperature has been

reached, the timer will start counting down. Using plastic tongs, carefully add your food to the hot pot.

BROWN/SAUTÉ can be used for each of the following:

A. Brown (sear) meats for casseroles and soups. Browning meat prior to pressure cooking and slow cooking not only

gives your food great color, but it also seals in the juices and flavors and keeps the meat tender.

B. Sauté onions or mirepoix (mixture of chopped onion, carrot, and celery), among many other foods, often used in

pressure cooker and slow cooker recipes. Sautéing onions allows caramelization which contributes to flavor and color

in the end dish.

Capacity: When the Multi-Cooker is used to brown or sauté it may be best to cook in batches to ensure the food is evenly

cooked.

RICE COOKING

When cooking rice, use the RICE/RISOTTO function. This is suitable for all types of rice, including white and/or brown rice.

The RICE/RISOTTO function cooks under pressure for faster cooking.

Capacity: Since rice expands during cooking, do not fill Cooking Pot above the 1/2 mark when using the RICE/RISOTTO

function.

USING THE RICE/RISOTTO FUNCTION

Place the Multi-Cooker on a flat, level surface.

Place Cooking Pot inside Heating Base. Plug the Multi-Cooker into a wall outlet. The Multi-Cooker will beep, and the

Display Screen will illuminate with four dashes (- - - -).

1. Measure the desired quantity of rice.

Note: 1 cup uncooked white rice = 2 cups of cooked white rice (approximately). 1 cup uncooked brown rice = 2 cups

cooked brown rice (approximately).

2. Place the measured rice in a strainer and wash rice thoroughly under cold water. Wash until the water runs clear.

This removes excess starch which helps to achieve fluffier rice, and prevents rice grains sticking to the Cooking Pot.

Rinsing the rice reduces the build-up of starchy water and bubbles that sometimes form around the Valve Cover and

Lid, which can cause spitting from the Steam Release Valve.

3. Ensure the Cooking Pot is clean and dry before placing it inside the Heating Base.

4. Place the washed rice in the Cooking Pot. Add the quantity of water needed for your recipe (Standard ratio -- 1 cup of

uncooked rice : 1.5 cups of water). Ensure that a minimum of 250ml of liquid is placed inside the removable Cooking

Pot.

5. Place the Lid on and lock by rotating counterclockwise to the LOCKED position.

6. Using the finger tab, flick the Steam Release Valve to the “Seal” position.

7. Press the RICE/RISOTTO button and adjust the time and pressure as needed.

14

Note: See the Cooking Guide on page 182 to find the possible time and pressure adjustments.

8. Once you have made the desired adjustments, if any, press START/STOP.

9. The Multi-Cooker needs to gain pressure before pressure cooking can begin. When the Multi-Cooker is gaining

pressure, “HEAt” will appear on the Display Screen and the time will not count down. When pressure has been

reached, “HEAt” will disappear on the Display Screen, and the time will begin to count down.

10. After the set cooking time has elapsed, the Multi-Cooker will beep and will automatically switch to the KEEP WARM

setting. The Display Screen will therefore change from the cook time to a new timer that will count up to 4:00 (4

hours) or until you press the START/STOP button. After 4 hours in the KEEP WARM setting, the Multi-Cooker will turn

off.

TIPS:

1. Do not keep rice in the pot for extended periods of time on the KEEP WARM setting, as the rice will become dry and

the quality will deteriorate. Use the supplied plastic spoon to stir and serve the rice. Do not use metal utensils, as

these will scratch the non-stick coating.

2. As rice grains can be delicate, at the end of cooking wait until the pressure releases naturally. Do not use the Quick

Pressure Release Method (see page 11 for instructions on the Natural Pressure Release Method).

3. Standard ratio for cooking rice -- 1 cup of uncooked rice : 1.5 cups of water

CAUTION: During cooking, steam will build up in the Multi-Cooker, so when lifting the Lid use a kitchen glove or mitt to

protect your hand.

TO CHANGE A SETTING

It’s easy to switch functions during cooking.

Press the START/STOP button and then select the new desired cooking function. A new timer will flash on the Display

Screen, and the selected function will also flash. Select the desired time, pressure, and/or temperature. Press the START/

STOP button and the new function will begin preheating.

To Change the Cooking Time:

You can change the cooking time before cooking begins by pressing the + and - buttons before pressing START/STOP.

Press and release to change slowly. Press and hold to change time quickly. If you pass the desired temperature or time,

press the opposite button.

To Change the Pressure:

You can change the pressure on certain pre-set functions before cooking begins by pressing the PRESSURE ADJUST

button before pressing START/STOP.

To Change the Temperature:

You can change the temperature on certain functions before cooking begins by pressing the TEMP ADJUST button before

pressing START/STOP.

CARE AND CLEANING

Cleaning should only be carried out when the the Crock-Pot® Express Multi-Cooker is cool and unplugged. Allow the Multi-

Cooker to completely cool before cleaning. Do not use the removable Cooking Pot on the stovetop, inside a microwave

oven or inside an oven. Use the pot only inside the Crock-Pot® Express Multi-Cooker Heating Base. Wash the Sealing

Gasket and Lid by hand in warm, soapy water. Dry all parts thoroughly.

Cooking Pot:

When removing the Cooking Pot from the Heating Base, always use two hands and lift directly upward. Failure to do so

may result in scratching the outside of the Cooking Pot (see figure 3).

If food sticks or burns to the surface of the Cooking Pot, then fill it with hot soapy water and let it soak before cleaning. Use

a rubber or nylon spatula to remove stubborn residue. If scouring is necessary, use a non-abrasive cleaner and a nylon

scouring pad or brush.

Although the Cooking Pot is dishwasher safe, we recommend hand-washing to preserve the non-stick coating.

If white spots form on surface of Cooking Pot, then soak it in a solution of vinegar or lemon juice and warm water for 30

minutes. Rinse and dry.

15

Note: Never use metal utensils or cleaning devices on the Cooking Pot, as this may result in scratching and damaging the

non-stick coating.

Exterior

Wipe the exterior of the Heating Base with a damp cloth and polish dry. DO NOT use harsh abrasives, scourers or

chemicals, as these will damage the surfaces. To prevent damage to the Multi-Cooker do not use alkaline cleaning agents

when cleaning. Only use a soft cloth and mild detergent. Never immerse the heating base, or power cord and plug in water

or any other liquid.

Condensation Collector

Empty any collected water from the Condensation Collector after each use. Wash in warm, soapy water.

Lid and Sealing Gasket

Always examine the gasket before each use. The silicon Sealing Gasket on the inside of your Multi-Cooker Lid may

deteriorate over time. Remove Sealing Gasket for cleaning as needed. Hand clean using warm, soapy water, dry

thoroughly, and replace Sealing Gasket in Lid before use. Leave the Lid upturned for storage, as this will also extend the

life of the gasket. Sealing Gasket may need to be replaced every 1 – 2 years depending on regular use. Contact Crock-Pot®

customer service to order replacement parts.

Steam Release Valve

Ensure the Steam Release Valve is clear from debris before you begin using the Multi-Cooker. Remove the valve and

gently clean. Ensure it is completely dry before replacing.

Steam Release Valve Cover

The Steam Release Valve Cover is on the underside of the Lid. Ensure it is clear from debris before you begin using the

Multi-Cooker. To clean, carefully pull the cover off and clean using warm, soapy water. Press the cover back into its place

after cleaning is complete.

UNDERSIDE OF LID

Bobber Valve

Gently press the valve up and down 2-3 times and ensure it is clear from debris before you begin using the Multi-Cooker.

HINTS AND TIPS FOR SLOW COOKING

• If you are slow cooking, you can use the BROWN/SAUTÉ function first, which allows you to sear meats and

vegetables at the beginning but also allows you to thicken sauces and make gravies at the end. Browning meat prior

to slow cooking not only gives your food great color, but it also seals in the juices and flavors and keeps the meat

tender.

• To thicken a casserole at the end of cooking, use the BROWN/SAUTÉ function and stir a small amount of corn flour

with water. Allow to simmer, stirring until thickened.

• When using the SLOW COOK function, make sure the Steam Release Valve is in the “Release” (open) position.

• When using the SLOW COOK function, the Multi-Cooker does not recover lost heat quickly, so only lift the Lid if

necessary or if instructed to do so in the recipe. It’s a good idea to monitor your slow cooking results throughout the

cooking cycle by quickly removing the Lid and checking, then quickly replacing the Lid. Different cuts and thickness of

meats and vegetables can vary cooking times.

• It is not uncommon for meat to cook faster than root vegetables. It is for this reason that we recommend chopping

all vegetables to a similar small size. Meat can be cut into larger chunks because if it is cut too small, it will break up

once cooked and tenderized.

• Slow Cooking reduces evaporation, resulting in the flavors and juices being maintained. Keep this in mind when

creating your own recipes, as you may not require as much liquid as you would when using other cooking methods.

Temperature Temperature Suggestions Recipes Ideas

High Use this setting for recipes that require shorter cooking

times, generally 4-6 hours. Ideal for sauces, chili, potato dishes, cheese

dishes, chicken wings and meatballs in sauce

Low Use this setting for recipes that require longer cook

times. This setting is used for recipes that usually

require cooking for more than 8 hours. Perfect for less

tender cuts of meats.

Ideal for less tender cuts of meat, braised

meats, dried beans, soups and stews
