Browning/Sautéing: for best results, always use a little oil or butter suited for frying; avoid low-smoke-point oil or aerosol sprays that do not withstand high heat.
When oil is simmering hot, add meat or other ingredients to be browned/sautéed, sear for a few minutes on all sides.
Warning: the pot is especially hot while using the brown/sauté mode. Use heat-resistant gloves/oven mitts and keep hands and face away from the pan, as hot oil may splatter. Small amounts of smoke may be generated by the browning process. If excessive smoke or splatter occurs, turn off and unplug slow cooker until it subsides. Never pour water or other liquids into slow cooker during the Brown/Sauté program.
Steam: Use this mode along with the steam tray to steam-cook food. Add 1" of water into the pot. Longer cook times may require more water.

Before cleaning, always unplug cooker and allow to cool.
