those functions until the cooking
time expires or the unit is manually
turned off.

8. Setting Cooking Modes
Three cooking modes, Simmer,
Low and High, give you the
opportunity to prepare a wider
variety of dishes. You can adapt
many recipes to slow down the
cooking time, or speed it up, to
coordinate meals to your
schedule.
You will usually want to use the
Simmer or Low setting for
recipes that cook longer. If you’re
starting a dish later in the day,
select the High setting to ensure
that your food is cooked, warm,
and ready when you’d like to eat.
