15
minutes to be delayed.
Use “+” and “-“ to set the delayed hours.
Press "Timer" key again to change the minutes.
The time is the
delayed time before the program starts.
Please allow sufficient
cooking time and cooling down time before serving.
3. 10 seconds after last key press, the “Timer” function starts, the
time on LED display counts down, and the flashing green
indicator on the “Timer” key changes to solid green.
4. To cancel the Timer operation, press the “Keep-Warm/Cancel”
key at any time.
5. Your Instant Pot starts cooking when the delay timer counts
down to 0. After cooking, the cooker will then enter the Auto
“Keep Warm” cycle for 10 hours. Please Note:
We highly discourage using the Timer function for perishable foods, such as meat and fish,
which may go bad when left at room temperature for hours. Cooked rice may yield overly
soft texture due to long soaking time. It may also cause a layer of burned rice at the
bottom of the pot if it is left in Keep-Warm mode for too long.
The Timer function is
not recommended for porridge, oatmeal or other foamy and sticky
foods
. Because of the possibility of these foods gumming up the float valve causing it to
never seal and leading to overflowing food content, it is highly recommended that your
Instant Pot not be left unattended during the preheat cycle. Since the delay function
implies leaving the unit unattended, we strongly recommend not using the timer function
for these types of food.
Sautéing
1. Follow steps in the "Cooking Preparation" section of this manual. Keep the lid open to avoid
pressure from building up inside the cooker. An optional glass lid can also be used.
2. Connect power cord. The LED display shows “OFF” indicating
that it’s in standby state.
3. Press “Sauté” key. For safety reasons, the maximum operation
time of one “Sauté” cycle is 30 minutes.
4. Change the cooking temperature among “Normal”, “More” and
“Less” modes with the “Adjust” key. The "Normal" mode is
suited for regular sauté or browning. The "More" mode is for stir
-frying or blackening meat at higher temperature. The "Less"
mode is suitable for simmering, reducing juices or thickening
sauce
.
To avoid pressure building up, the lid cannot be closed. If
you accidentally close the lid, flashing "Lid" is displayed to warn
about wrong lid position.
Caution
: partially closing the lid during sautéing could cause
the pressure to build up in the cooker. This can be
hazardous.
5. Heating starts automatically in 10 seconds after the last key is
pressed. The “Sauté” program can be cancelled at any time by
pressing “Keep Warm/Cancel” key.
6. When the designated temperature is reached, the LED display
shows “Hot”.
7. When cooking finishes, the cooker beeps and goes to standby
state. If you need more time, simply press the “Sauté” key again.
