I have a Rival crock pot. No manual. It's the type where you push a button to cycle through the different hours/temp settings.

When the cycle is done, it switches to "warm."

There's a way to set it directly to warm through a series of button pushes, but for the life of me I can't remember how to do it.

Does anyone know how?
I was just trying to figure this out. Try holding down Cook Time while plugging it in. It worked on mine.
I think I'd rather download the user's manual from the site I posted and follow the directions contained therein... your method doesn't sound like anything the manufacturer would suggest, could even permanently damage the electronic chip.
