How To Use The AUTO Feature The AUTO feature allows you to prepare meals in less time than it would take on LOW, but not as quickly as on HIGH, allowing more time for unsupervised cooking. When set on AUTO, the Slow Cooker begins cooking on HIGH. Once the HIGH temperature is reached, it then switches automatically to LOW. When using the AUTO cycle, you are able to initially heat the food faster, shortening the standard cooking time required for LOW by approximately 25%.

Hints for Slow Cooking ■ When cooking in a Slow Cooker, remember that liquids do not boil away like they do in conventional cooking. Reduce the amount of liquid in any recipe that is not designed for a Slow Cooker. The exceptions to this rule would be rice and soups. Remember, liquids can always be added at a later time if necessary. If a recipe results in too much liquid at the end of the cooking time, remove the lid and turn the control dial to HIGH.
