removing the lid (causing heat loss).

vegetables can vary cooking times.

mode if the maximum slow cooking time
of 20 hours was selected. The maximum
combined COOK/ KEEP WARM cooking time
is 20 hours. For example, if the SLOW COOK
time selected was 16 hours, the maximum
KEEP WARM time would be 4 hours.
