Cleaning Before First Use

Remove the inner pot from the cooker base and wash it with hot water and dish soap. Rinse with warm, clear water and use a soft cloth to dry the outside of the inner pot. Note: The inner pot is dishwasher safe. Wipe the heating element with a soft cloth to ensure there are no stray packaging particles present before returning the inner pot to the cooker base.

Accessories

Wash the accessories with hot water and dish soap before using them for the first time, and then after each use. Rinse with warm, clear water and use a soft cloth to dry the accessories. To assemble the multi-level air fryer basket:

1. Place the multi-level air fryer basket base on a stable surface.
2. Position the air fryer basket over the base and press down firmly. The teeth on the base should pop into the groove on the outside of the basket.
3. To easily lift and position the broil/dehydrating tray, hold the large holes in the middle of the tray with 2 fingers.
4. Insert the broil/dehydrating tray into the multi-level air fryer basket, ensuring that the raised rim is facing down.
   Note: The air fryer basket must be used with the stainless steel inner pot.
   

Note:
Before cooking, always ensure the heating element is clean and dry before inserting the inner pot into the cooker base. Failure to do so may damage the cooker. The inner pot is an integral part of product safety. Food must be placed in the inner pot, and never directly in the cooker base. To avoid personal injury or damage to the appliance, replace a deformed or damaged inner pot. Use only authorized Instant Pot inner pots made for this model when cooking.

Overview of Pressure Control Features

Sealing Ring

When the pressure cooking lid is closed, the sealing ring installed on the underside of the lid creates an air-tight seal between the lid and the cooker base. The sealing ring must be installed before using the cooker and should be cleaned after each use. Only 1 sealing ring should be installed in the lid when using the cooker. Use one for sweet dishes and one for savory. Sealing rings stretch over time with normal use. As an integral part of product safety, the sealing ring should be replaced every 12-18 months or sooner if stretching, deformation, or damage is noticed.

Remove the Sealing Ring

Grip the edge of the silicone and pull the sealing ring out from behind the circular stainless steel sealing ring rack. With the sealing ring removed, inspect the rack to ensure it is secured, centered, and at an even height all the way around the lid. Do not attempt to repair a deformed sealing ring rack.

Install the Sealing Ring

Place the sealing ring over the sealing ring rack and press it into place. Press down firmly to ensure there is no puckering. When installed properly, the sealing ring is snug behind the sealing ring rack and should not fall out when the lid is turned over.

Float Valve
The float valve provides a visual indication of pressure within the cooker and appears in 2 positions.

The float valve and silicone cap work together to seal in pressurized steam. These parts must be installed before use and should be cleaned after each use.

Remove the Float Valve from the Lid

Place one finger on the flat top of the float valve, then turn the lid over. Detach the silicone cap from the bottom side of the float valve. Remove the float valve from the top of the lid. Do not discard the float valve or silicone cap.

Install the Float Valve
Drop the narrow end of the float valve into the float valve hole on the top of the lid. Place one finger on the flat top of the float valve, then turn the lid over. Firmly attach the silicone cap to the bottom of the float valve. Do not attempt to operate the pressure cooker without the float valve and/or silicone cap properly installed in the pressure cooking lid.

Condensation Collector

The condensation collector sits at the back of the cooker base and accumulates overflow moisture from the condensation rim. It should be installed before cooking, then emptied and rinsed out after each use.

Remove the Condensation Collector
Pull the condensation collector away from the cooker base; do not pull it down. Note the tabs on the cooker base and the grooves on the condensation collector.

Install the Condensation Collector
Align the grooves on the condensation collector over the tabs on the back of the cooker base and slide the condensation collector into place.

Pressure cooking uses steam pressure to raise the boiling point of water above 100ºC / 212ºF. This energy-efficient cooking method is the fastest way to thoroughly cook a variety of your favorite meals.
