BROWNING

Braised foods often taste better when browned before cooking in

For best results,

food should be patted dry with paper towels and cut into

small, uniform pieces. Brown or sauté food in small batches.

appropriate amount of oil as called for in the recipe. With the Lid off,
press the

Button for BROWN. The red Indicator Light

next to BROWN will be lit.

2. Press the 

START/STOP

Button. The green START Indicator Light will 

illuminate and the BROWN MODE red Indicator Light will begin to flash.
After approximately one minute of preheating, add food and 
begin browning.

WARNING: Extreme caution should be used when browning with hot

oil. Keep hands and face away from the Cooking Pot especially
when adding new ingredients, as hot oil may spatter.

3. During the BROWN MODE, the Pressure Cooker will beep 

3 times every 10 minutes as a warning that this is a high temperature
setting. 

4. There is no time setting for the BROWN MODE. When desired

browning is complete, press the 

START/STOP

Button until it beeps

and the red STOP Indicator Light illuminates.

WARNING: Do not leave the Pressure Cooker unattended while

browning foods.
