The instructions that came with the crock watcher under "How to use slow cooker" says "Select LOW, HIGH, or AUTO SHIFT. The control settings indicated on the crock watcher are 1, 2, and Auto Shift, therefore "1" must be "low" and "2" must be "high."

Auto-shift in a Proctor-Silex crock watcher refers to a feature that automatically adjusts the cooking temperature or time based on the food being prepared. This ensures optimal cooking results by transitioning from high heat to a lower simmer as the cooking process progresses. The goal is to simplify the cooking process, allowing for a hands-free experience while still achieving well-cooked meals.
Proctor Silex was created in 1960.
I think autoshift starts on HIGH for 3 hours, then switches automatically to LOW.
Auto Shift on the Procter Silex Crock Watcher refers to a feature that automatically adjusts the cooking temperature and time as needed during the cooking process. This ensures that food is cooked evenly and prevents overcooking. The feature allows for more hands-free cooking, providing convenience for users who may not be able to monitor the slow cooker continuously.

Well, darling, temperature setting 1 on a Procter Silex crock pot is usually around 120-140°F, which is great for keeping food warm without overcooking it. Setting 2 kicks it up a notch to around 160-180°F, perfect for simmering soups or cooking dishes low and slow. Just remember, slow and steady wins the race when it comes to crock pot cooking.
THE MODEL 48574 HAS BOTH OF THESE FEATURES.
The answer is....(drumroll, please), 1= Low, 2= High. I have been looking for this answer for awhile because I too lost the instruction book that came with the slow cooker. I did an experiment. Stew and a meat thermometer, and the results were obvious! Now as to how long the auto-shift stays on high before it shifts to low, I am not sure. MB in Nova Scotia Yes, MB is correct - I went to the proctor silex website and found the user manual. Here's a link to it: http://useandcares.hamiltonbeach.com/files/840036400.pdf KM in Mass The user manual says that Auto Shift starts cooking on high and finishes on low and that cooking times will be approximately halfway in between high and low cooking times. It doesn't say after how much time it switches. Some of the recipes in the manual give times to cook with Auto Shift.
