PROGRAMMING
BROWN & SAUTÉ
1. Press BROWN/SAUTÉ. A preset
temperature of 175°C will flash, as this is
the most commonly used Brown/Sauté

2. Press Temperature Directionals to select a
different temperature (from 65°C to 200°C).
3. Press the START/STOP button to begin
preheating. Selected temperature will flash
during heatup.
4. When selected temperature is reached,
two beeps will sound. Add ingredients to
cooking pot—for best results, do not
crowd pot.
5. Once cooking is complete, press START/
STOP to stop cooking, or if you’ve
browned ingredients as a first step, switch
to the SLOW COOK function now. There is
no need to press START/STOP again, as
the unit is already cooking.
NOTE:
Though browning is usually a hands-
on task, you can set a cooking
time with the Time Directionals. Countdown
will start when selected temperature is
reached and unit will automatically shut off
when countdown
is complete.

with Time Directionals.
5. Press the START/STOP button to begin
cooking. Selected time and temperature
setting (High, Low, Simmer or Warm) will
be displayed.
NOTE:
If you browned ingredients before
switching to slow cooking, the unit is already

6. When slow cooking on High, Low or
Simmer, the unit will beep five times at the
end of the cooking time and will
automatically switch to the Keep Warm
setting for 8 hours.
7. When Warm time elapses, one beep will

begin counting down cooking time.
6. Carefully lift lid away from you and place
food on rack, starting in the middle and
working your way out. Be sure to cover pot
with lid again.
