Summary based on the book description on Amazon.
How do I adapt dried beans and settings in a slow cooker?
The USDA FSIS slow cookers guide explains that most cookers have two or more settings, that food cooks faster on high, and that starting on high for the first hour then lowering the heat is recommended if possible, though low all the way is safe too.
Vegetables cook more slowly than meat, and the same page advises putting them in first. Choose recipes with enough liquid, keep the lid on and do not lift it more than you need to. Check your appliance’s manual for dried beans, because some guides call for boiling them first.
Legumes are valued for protein, fibre and low cost, as the Harvard legumes page says. Finish with fresh herbs, lemon juice or vinegar to brighten long-cooked flavours.
A power cut while you are out is a reason to discard the dish, whatever it looks like.
