Operating the Slow Cooker and Programmable Timer Using the "Simmer," "Low," "High," and "Auto" settings 1. Turn the 5-setting cook and serve control to either the "Simmer," "Low," "High," or "Auto" setting. The cooking time display will show the default setting and begin its countdown to 0:00. 2. Press the "-" or "+" buttons to shorten or lengthen cook time. 3. Once the timer display counts down to "0:00," the display will show "End," three 1-second beeps will signal the end of cooking time, and the cooker will automatically switch to "Keep Warm" and continue on "Keep Warm" for four hours. 4. Once the 4-hour time limit is reached, all displays are turned off, and the unit shuts off. ENGLISH Slow Cooker Setting Guidelines The multiple slow cooker settings, from "Auto" to "Buffet," allows the kind of cooking, or serving, that lets you prepare a variety of foods on different settings so you can adapt your recipes to your changing schedule. In general, use lower settings for longer cook times. Try a higher setting when you start food preparation later in the day and want to serve the food that same evening. See KitchenAid® slow cooker recipes for examples. "Auto" - An excellent way to cook foods faster than using the "Low" or "Simmer" settings, but allowing slower cooking than the "High" setting. Also, use it for foods that require more than 10 hours of cooking time. broth-based soup large pieces of squash beef roast chicken/turkey pieces wild rice casserole hot beverages thick pork chops pork roast stewed chicken steamed/mashed potatoes dried beans/lentils beef rolls beef/pork ribs chicken or turkey casserole "High" - Try using this setting when a shorter cooking time is desired or for recipes that are typically baked. hot beverages "baked" egg-based puddings broth-based soup egg-based strata pork roast chicken/turkey pieces chicken or turkey casserole wild rice casserole dumplings steamed potatoes pudding/steamed cake beef roast stewed chicken cobbler/fruit dessert "Low" - Appropriate for most recipes when there is time for long, slow cooking. It's an ideal setting for food started before going to work in the morning and served for dinner in the evening. beef chuck roast split pea soup stew beef short ribs chicken/turkey pieces wild rice casserole potato casserole pork chops lamb shanks dressing/stuffing cheese- or cream-based soup rice pudding beef roast pork roast pork ribs chicken or turkey casserole stewed chicken dried beans/lentils egg bake beef rolls chicken wings Cornish hens soup with less tender cuts of meat 8
