Auto
Programmable, 5-Setting Cook
and Serve Control
The dial turns the slow cooker on, and
allows the selection of one of four cook
settings ("Simmer," "Low," "High," and
the stepped-temperature setting "Auto")
plus one serve setting ("Buffet"). When
the dial is turned to one of the cook
settings, the cooking time display shows
the default time for the setting and begins
its countdown. When the dial is set to the
"Buffet" serve setting, "buF" is displayed.
The "Auto" setting is a preprogrammed
stepped setting, which starts cooking
on the "High" temperature for 2 hours
and reduces to the "Low" temperature
for a default time of 8 hours. The time
range for the "Low" temperature step is
programmable and may be adjusted by
pressing the "-" or "+" buttons on the
control panel. After time on the "Low"
temperature step expires, the program
automatically switches the slow cooker to
the "Keep Warm" mode for 4 hours.
All settings, except for "Buffet," will
automatically switch to the "Keep Warm"
mode after the programmed cook time
has expired.
Time Adjustment Buttons
To change the default time, press the "-"
or "+" buttons located just beneath the
three-digit display. These buttons can be
used at any point in the cooking cycle to
shorten or lengthen cook time.

Using the "Buffet" Setting
This setting is ideal for entertaining, or
other times when preheated foods need to
be kept warm for several hours.
Do not cook, defrost or preheat foods
on the "Buffet" setting. It is to be used for
keeping cooked, preheated foods warm
for serving.
1. Turn cook and serve control to the
"Buffet" setting, and the 3-digit display
will show "buF." No LED indicator
lights will be on.
2. The slow cooker will operate at the
"Buffet" setting for up to 6 hours.
3. Once the 6-hour time limit is reached,
the display is turned off, and the unit
shuts off. Any remaining food should
be removed promptly and refrigerated
or frozen.
