Using Non-Pressure Cooking Smart Programs
Smart Program: Sauté
The Sauté Smart Program is similar to using a frying pan, griddle or at-top grill.
Use Sauté to simmer, reduce and thicken liquids, stir-fry meals, and to caramelize
vegetables and sear meat before or after cooking.
1. Ensure the inner pot is in position in the cooker base. Do not use a lid.
2. 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.
Note: The Preset for the Sauté Smart Program is Custom. No selection is required.
4. When the cooking time ashes, you may press the dial to select the default
time, or turn the dial to adjust the cooking time between 1 minute and 1 hour.
Press the dial to conrm the change and go to the next eld.
Note: Cooking time adjustments are saved to the Smart Program when cooking begins.
Subsequent selection will activate the last saved time setting.
5. When the temperature level ashes, you may press the dial to select the
default temperature, or turn the dial to toggle between Custom, Low and High
settings. Press the dial to conrm the change and go to the next eld.
Note: When Custom is selected the default temperature level LE 1 will ash. Press the
dial to select the default temperature level, or turn the dial to scroll from LE 1 to LE 6.
The level scale is similar to an electric stovetop and can be used to reduce, simmer,
sauté, stir-fry, sear & brown. Press the dial to select the desired temperature level.
6. Press Start to begin. The display indicates On and the progress bar displays
Pre-heating.
7. When the target temperature is reached, the progress indicator goes to
Cooking and the display will momentarily indicate Hot before the cooking
timer begins counting down.
8. Add recipe ingredients to the inner pot and sauté according to recipe
instructions.
Note: If your food ingredients are added before the inner pot has reached the target
temperature, your display may never read Hot. This is normal.
9. If the ingredients have been sautéed to the desired doneness before the
time expires, press Cancel to end the Smart Program. If the Smart Program
is allowed to complete, the cooker goes to Standby mode and the display
indicates End.
