Deglazing the Inner Pot (Pressure Cooking After Sauté)
Sautéing meat and vegetables before pressure cooking is the perfect way to boost
flavors, as sugars caramelise from the high heat of the Sauté Smart Programme.
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.

Pan searing or sautéing
The Sauté Smart Programme 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.
The display switching from Hot to On indicates the
cooker is maintaining the cooking temperature.
As a safety precaution, 30 minutes is the maximum
cooking time and cannot be adjusted.
