Does the delayed timer function mean that you can have it begin cooking later or is it just a delayed 'off' switch?

on page 8 of the manuel it says it is to delay cooking time up to 8 hours.....not with perishable foods such as meat, fish chicken ect at room temp for more than 2 hours. I would put the meat etc in for almost cooked time then turn to slow cooker.

The delayed timer delays the start of cooking in half hour increments. The normal timer switches it to warm when the cooking ends.

The delayed time allows the user to delay the cooking process up to 8 hours in half hour increments. You can use the delay time setting with the following programs: slow cook, rice cook, high and low pressure cooking. You will love this cooker! It's amazing how quickly you can get supper on the table.

I think you can have it cook later. I have not used that function yet, so to be honest, not quit sure how that works. Sorry

My impression is that you can set it to turn on later, but I have to admit that I haven't used that feature. Wish I could be of more help! I'm convinced it's really mostly meant as a pressure cooker, which it does well, but if I use the "crock pot" feature again, it will only be to keep a pre-cooked and hot food warm. Still worth buying, though - not scary like cheap pressure cookers, and you don't have to monitor the temperature, plus lid on/off easy and seal very easy to clean

You don't need a timer to stop the cooking. It auto stop when water at the outer layer is dried out. This is how it works. This model does not have an auto start timer either.

Yes, the Start button will automatically cook for 30 sec. after you hit it.

Don't need a timer switch. It's based on turning the power on at the switch. It toggles between sensor and full speed mode. If you set it to full speed mode and want sensor mode, just turn the power off and them back on. Works great for us.

Yes, after the time designated on the timer is reached, the slow cooker automatically switches to warm.

No you cannot. What you can do is go ahead and put in the time you want and when that cook time has elapsed the unit has the keep warm function which keeps the food warm until you turn it off.

Yes, if you turn it on for manual operations with the timer disabled, you can easily turn it off or turn it back to "timer" mode.

The time is a 'countdown' only. you would need to start it before you leave and set it for the number of hours you want it to cook. It will shut off when the timer is done. I did leave mine cooking a pot roast all day while I was out. No problems. Hope this helps.

When you use the cooking feature buttons the cooking time is set by default. You can start with the cooking feature and set the timer at the same time, when timer reach zero the oven beeps but don't stop if the time set by the selected cooking feature is higher.

Yes you can cook with it set to " Stay On" with out using the timer. To turn off just turn knob back to " 0" on timer setting.

Hi Linda, this slow-cooker can not be pre-programmed to start when you'd like. The manual suggests you prepare everything ahead of time, refrigerate it and then plug it in and it'll start cooking. You can put it on "low" if you need a lot of time before you get home. There isn't a delayed start. It's a very nice, oval slow-cooker, though. Good luck finding a pre-programmable one, if that's what you're looking for. Happy cooking! Beth

When you set your timer for say 6 hours on high or low, the timer button will NOT switch to warm when the time is up. But it keeps it warm. That is what the directions state and that is what my slow cooker works.

The timer stays on previous setting. For instance, if I am baking and want to not overcook but not sure of exact time, I set 10 minutes which alerts me to check what I'm baking. Then, if I know it needs another 10 minutes, I just hit start again and the 10 will repeat. If I need to erase and enter 5 minutes, I do that. I hope that helps.

There's no auto-timer, so you can't set it for a certain number of cook time hours; you have to be physically present to turn it between settings.

Yes. AFTER TIMER GOES OFF, YOU PRESS STOP AND IT IS ALREADY SET FOR NEXT 20 minutes. You only need to press start again.

No. The timer is just for the length of cook time and then it switches to a warm setting.

Yes, when you cook your food using the program mode it switch to warm and after 14 hrs of continuous use it turns itself off.
