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
count down 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.
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.
Slow Cooker Setting Guidelines
“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 hot beverages dried beans/lentils
large pieces of squash thick pork chops beef rolls
beef roast pork roast beef/pork ribs
chicken/turkey pieces stewed chicken chicken or turkey casserole
wild rice casserole steamed/mashed potatoes
“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 pudding/steamed cake
broth-based soup egg-based strata beef roast
pork roast chicken/turkey pieces stewed chicken
chicken or turkey casserole wild rice casserole cobbler/fruit dessert
dumplings steamed potatoes
“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.

split pea soup cheese- or cream-based soup rice pudding
