Sauté is a non-pressure cooking program that can be used in place of a frying pan
or at-top grill.

1. Insert the inner pot into the cooker base. Do not use a lid.
2. Mini and 6 Quart: Secure the power cord to the base power socket at the back
of the cooker base. Ensure the connection is tight.
All: Connect the power cord to a 120 V power source. The cooker goes to
Standby mode and the display indicates OFF.
3. Press Sauté to select the Sauté Smart Program.
4. Press Sauté again to cycle through the Less, Normal and More temperature
options.
Note: Cooking temperature adjustments are saved to the Smart Program when cooking
begins.
5. After 10 seconds, the cooker displays On to indicate that it has begun heating.
6. When display switches from On to Hot, add recipe ingredients.
Note: If recipe ingredients are added before the Hot message appears, it may not
appear at all. This is normal.
7. When cooking completes, the display indicates End.
Note: Automatic Keep Warm cannot be turned on for the Sauté Smart Program.
Deglazing the Inner Pot (Pressure Cooking After Sauté)
Sautéing meat and vegetables before pressure cooking is the perfect way to
boost avors, as sugars caramelize from the high heat of the Sauté Smart Program.
To pressure cook after using Sauté, deglaze the inner pot to ensure food items do
not scorch.
To deglaze: remove food items from the inner pot and add a thin liquid (e.g.,
water, broth, wine) to the hot surface. Use a wooden or silicone scraper to loosen
anything that may be stuck to the bottom of the inner pot.
WARNING
The Sauté Smart Program reaches high temperatures. If unmonitored, food may
burn on this setting. Do not use the lid and do not leave your cooker unattended
while using Sauté.
