4. Press the warm/cancel button.

5. Press the Soup/stew button and then press the Time Adjustment button until you reach 20 minutes.

6. Once the timer reaches 0, the cooker will automatically switch to keep warm. Switch the pressure release valve to open. Whe the steam is completely released, remove the lid.

Note* I use can beans instead of the dry one. It eliminates the whole soak overnight process. I also have used other beans other than what it calls for. Still turns out just fine. I have also used diced tomatoes instead of crushed.
