Warm – Use this setting to keep cooked foods warm until serv- ing. DO NOT use the “Warm” setting to reheat leftovers or to cook foods (since the temperature is not hot enough to do so).
Auto – Once you select your desired cook time, the 7 qt. slow cooker runs on “High” for two hours to make sure foods reach a safe temperature. (This time may not be reduced). Then the slow cooker automatically switches to “Low” for the remaining cook time. Once the cook time ends, the slow cooker keeps the food “Warm” for up to four hours or until serving.
Note: The temperature indicator light displays the selected set- ting on the 7 qt. slow cooker. For example, if you select “High”, the High light will be on for the selected time; then the Warm light will come on for four hours. And, if you select “Auto”, the Auto light will be on for the selected cook time and then the Warm light will be on for four hours.
Step 2: Set the timer.
When you first select a cooking temperature, the timer lights will flash to remind you to also select a cooking time. The 7 qt. slow cooker does not begin operating until the timer is set. Turn the timer knob to adjust the cooking time up or down from an initial setting of five hours. Once the timer is set, the indicator lights will stop flashing and remain on.
To reduce the time, turn and hold the timer knob left. Or, to increase the time, turn and hold the timer knob right. Lights ap- pear to indicate the time selected. As each hour of time elapses during cooking, the corresponding indicator lights turn off. So, you will know at a glance the time remaining.
Note: If you select a temperature but not a cooking time, all of the lights will go out after two minutes and the slow cooker will not start. Remember that you need to select both a cooking temperature and cooking time for the 7 qt. slow cooker to begin heating. To start the 7 qt. slow cooker, choose the desired set- ting and select a cooking time.
