There are several settings available. We can set the time and
temperature from the front panel. On HI settings the ties are 4 and 6
hours (this setting brings to a soft boil). The LO settings are 8 or
10 hours and does not boil at these settings.

By the way, my wife has corrected me on the time to cook. She says
she puts the corned beef on first thing in the morning, usually 8 or 9
AM, adds the cabbage after lunch, usually about 1 or 2 PM, and serves
about 6 or 7 PM depending on who's coming to dinner and how hungry we
all are.
