I am desperately trying to find out how to use the mini-Bravetti one-half quart "dipper"!! There is no on-off switch or indicator light. I have absolutely no way of knowing the temperature, i.e. high or low, whether it is on or off and what I can and cannot use it for. This is very frustrating given that it came with a 7 quarter slow-cooker and the booklet doesn't even mention the mini. Margaret

I couldn't find instructions for it, either, however, I did run across some interesting reviews on this site:

One person commented on the smaller unit:
The smaller one is very convenient to keep the gravy hot at dinnertime or for hot fudge fondue afterwards."
You have one recourse for figuring out this problem, that I can see, and it would be to measure different levels with a thermometer, to know for yourself what's going on. Of course, let whatever you're heating settle out in temperature, and then you'll know.
This site has internal recommended temperatures:

Even though, technically, it's a high altitude site, I'm throwing it in since it has some good information.
Good luck, and hope this helps.
