Step 2: SELECT COOKING MODE
Each time the digital slow cooker is powered on, you will notice it displays default settings – Auto cooking mode and 6 hours of total cooking time. However, you may adjust the settings to suit your specific cooking needs. Press Start to Cook will blink on the display panel until the Start/Cancel button is selected, if
a selection is not made within the allotted time, the slow cooker will go into the "sleep" mode.
To modify the cooking mode, press the Up and Down arrows positioned next to the cooking mode options. Select between Auto, High, Low and Warm. Most slow cooker recipes provide cooking times for either Low or High settings, please use these as your guide. Consider the following general tips for selecting a heat setting.
Auto – This automatically sets the slow cooker to operate on High for two hours. Then, the slow cooker switches over to Low for the remainder of the programmed cooking time. Note that Auto will be displayed, even though the slow cooker is cycling through High and Low cooking temperatures.
At the end of the programmed cooking cycle, the slow cooker will transition to Warm mode and keep the food warm until serving.
High – Use this setting when time is short and you need food cooked within a few hours. In general, one hour of cooking time on High is equal to two hours on the Low setting.
Low – Choose this setting when you want to place food in the slow cooker in the morning and return home in the evening to serve dinner. Many main dish recipes cooked on the Low setting take eight to ten hours.
