I'd leave it up. That rule on kidney beans should be common knowledge, for those that cook from dried beans, and isn't just for slow cookers - those on a "raw diet", for example, should never eat kidney beans and just simmering on the stovetop is about the same as using a slow cooker. Of course, many new slow cookers will boil everything on High and near so on low, as the govt continues to save us from our own actions (then again, some church out in CA just killed 3 and hospitalized several more from the dinner they served at an American Legion Hall - still no word on what the problem with the meal was).
Oh, and Fava beans may not be as toxic, but they can trigger favism in some genetic groups - and you won't know if you are affected until it is triggered by eating too much of them (apparently a 'lifetime dose', not a single meal dose, is involved).
And artificial sweeteners can kill select individuals that have another genetic condition (which is yet another reason never to buy those nasty things to serve to your friends).

There is a paucity of reviews at Amazon, therefore you really can't put much stock in the average ratings, on this new, revised edition. However, the ratings for the 1969 edition are still up on GoodReads, where there are 337 ratings, with an average rating of 3.99.

Don't know about any 1969 edition (wouldn't it be full of open a can and dump recipes? oh wait, it actually is), but the one I have from 2014 is decently formatted. Not sure if I want to spend another $2 to upgrade.
Here's a "typical" recipe (or, at least, the one I ended up on randomly clicking the slider to see what the inside of the book looked like):

The directions then follow and are pretty much what you'd expect, other than cooking it in a slow cooker instead of the oven. If you want to play with a solar oven, I'd say the recipes might be a good place to start experimenting, unless you are in a very southern and sunny location.
