YES. ALWAYS check for cuts, deformation, and correct installation before cooking, as sealing rings stretch over time with normal use. If you
notice stretching, deformation, or damage to your sealing ring, DO NOT use it.

REPLACE the sealing ring every 12 to 18 months or sooner, and only use authorized Instant Pot sealing rings.

Failure to follow these instructions may cause food to discharge, which may lead to personal injury or property damage.

If you notice steam leaking for more than 3 minutes, record a short video then turn the appliance off and unplug it from the wall.

Troubleshooting:

Float Valve

Ensure the Float Valve is properly attached and the silicone cap is in good condition. Replace the silicone cap if it is damaged or has small gouges before pressure cooking.

Sides of the Lid

Please ensure the sealing ring is properly installed and seated around the metal wire rack on the underside of the lid. Replace the sealing
ring if it appears stretched or damaged before pressure cooking.

Turn your inner pot upside down on a flat surface and ensure the rim is flush all the way around. Replace the inner pot if it appears to be warped or damaged before pressure cooking.

Plastic Molding

There may be moisture trapped inside the lid. This can occur if the lid is submerged. Allow the lid to dry completely before resuming cooking.

Steam Release Handle

Ensure the steam release handle is properly seated on the steam post and in the sealing position. Inspect the steam release handle for any
damage. Replace the steam release handle if it appears to be loose on the steam post or has any damage before pressure cooking.

Steam Release Valve

Ensure the vent (quick release) button is in the upward (sealing) position before cooking.

If the liquid is water-based, make sure the burner is completely cool. Wipe the inside of the cooker base and heating element with a dry cloth to remove as much liquid as possible. Turn your Instant Pot upside down on a flat surface and let it air dry for 72 hours for any residual moisture to evaporate. Once completed, run the water test. If successful, happy cooking!

If the liquid is oil and/or fat based , do not attempt to use the appliance. Discontinue use and dispose of the appliance as per your municipalities regulations.

Ensure that the power cord is firmly plugged into a 120V outlet. If your model has a detachable power cord, ensure it is also firmly plugged into the back of the appliance.

This error code can occur if a substance was spilled onto the cooker base.

If the spill is water-based, make sure the burner is completely cool. Wipe the inside of the cooker base and heating element with a dry cloth to remove as much liquid as possible. Turn your Instant Pot upside down on a flat surface and let it air dry for 72 hours for any residual moisture to evaporate. Once completed, run the water test. If successful, happy cooking!

If the spill is oil and/or fat based, do not attempt to use the appliance. Discontinue use and dispose of the appliance as per your municipalities regulations.

Please ensure you are following an approved Instant Pot recipe. Run the initial test to confirm your unit is operating as intended. If the test fails, contact our Customer Care team.

This is normal. The clicking sound is the heating element turning on and off to regulate internal temperature and/or pressure.

This might be happening for a few reasons:

1) The sealing ring is not installed correctly. Reposition the sealing ring. Make sure it is snug behind the metal wire rack ring.
2) The float valve is in the popped-up position. Remove and clean any residual food debris.
3) The contents are still hot. Set the valve to the venting, then lower the lid onto the base slowly, allowing heat to dissipate.

NEVER force the lid open after pressure cooking.

Ensure that all the pressure has been released. Release pressure according to the recipe. Set the valve to venting and only open the lid after the float valve has dropped and/or the display indicates it is ok to open the lid, and there is no pressure in the appliance.

Failure to follow the instructions in the user manual can lead to personal injury and/or property damage. Please visit https://www.instantpot.com/support/instant/resources

Hot liquid can build up pressure in the pot. To release the pressure, activate the steam release valve.

DO NOT open lid while it is still under pressure. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury and/or property damage. Please visit https://www.instantpot.com/support/instant/resource

A BRN Error may appear for a few reasons:

1) There's not enough liquid in the inner pot. Ensure you are meeting the minimum requirements. Add thin, water-based liquid to the inner pot according to its size. Thicker sauces will require an additional cup of thin liquid:

3 Qt: 1 cup (250 mL / ~8 oz)
6 Qt: 1 ½ cups (375 mL / ~12 oz)
8 Qt: 2 cups (500 mL / ~16 oz)
10 Qt: 2 ½ cups (625 mL / ~20 oz)

2) The steam release handle/valve is not seated properly or is set to venting. Ensure the steam release handle/valve is set to sealing and is properly seated on the steam post (pushed down to its limits).

3) After sauteeing, deglaze the inner pot.

Sous vide is French for ‘under vacuum’ and refers to the process of vacuum-sealing food, bringing it to a specific temperature, and maintaining that temperature for a period of time to achieve high quality, consistently delicious results.

The Instant® Accu Slim™ Sous Vide Immersion Circulator offers a customizable setting which allows you to choose a cooking temperature from a range of 25°C-90°C/77°F-194°F, ideal for sous vide cooking.

1) Place the cooking pot on a secure heat protector, mat, or within your Instant Pot. Make sure to position the container near an electrical outlet.

2) Clip the Instant® Accu Slim™ Sous Vide Immersion Circulator to the side of the cooking pot, securing it with the clamp.

3) Fill the cooking pot with water, ensuring the water level is above the MIN level mark as indicated on the cooker and below the MAX level mark, leaving room in the container for food to be added.

4) Set the temperature on the Sous Vide and preheat the water while you prepare your recipe. Once the water has reached the selected temperature, the device will beep three times.

5) Place the food to be cooked in the freezer bag or pouch. Please place separate single servings of food within individual bags. The thickness of food extends the cooking time required.

6) Remove the air from the freezer bag and seal it, creating as tight a vacuum seal as possible.

NOTE: If you are using a vacuum sealer and pouch, the seal will be created by the vacuum sealer after the air has been removed.

7) Immerse the sealed bag into the cooking pot. The bag should be submerged below the water level. However, if using a freezer bag, do not submerge the bag's seal. Clip the seal portion of the bag to the side of the pot to secure it. You can also choose to suspend a long, thin stick across the top of the cooking container and clip the bag to the stick (this is helpful when you are cooking more than one bag). If the food is floating, use a large, heavy spoon, plate, pot lid or another heatproof utensil to weigh the bag down and keep it submerged.

8) Let the cooking begin. For long cooking times, check periodically to ensure the water level remains above the food and the MIN level mark. If you need to add water, heat it on the stovetop or in the kettle to approximately the same temperature as the water in the container to avoid cooling the water.

9) Once your Instant® Accu Slim™ Sous Vide Immersion Circulator has completed cooking, use a pan to sear or brown the meat to your preference. It is recommended to use a cast iron pan or barbeque.

To change the temperature unit between Celsius (ºC) and Fahrenheit (ºF) on the Accu Slim, press and hold the “M” button for 5 seconds.

NOTE: This is not possible to change between while cooking.

The Instant® Accu Slim™ Sous Vide Immersion Circulator's element cover can be easily removed. Simply hold the housing unit with one hand, grip the element cover with the other, and turn it counterclockwise to release the metal from its track. Once unlocked, pull it apart to remove the metal casing.

For even cooking, the food contents should be fully submerged in the cooking bath. If one or more of your pouches float, remove the floating pouch, open it, squeeze out as much air as possible, and reseal.

The immersion circulator maintains the water temperature with a high enough degree of accuracy that a lid or cover is not required to hold the heat.

The Accu Slim works with any cooking container—plastic, metal, or glass—by securing the clamp to the side and maintaining the water level between the MIN and MAX lines. We recommend using the Instant Pot inner pot, as its insulation helps maintain the temperature effectively.

Inner pots can be purchased at a variety of our authorized retailers. Start your search here.

Getting started is easy; most materials might already be available in your home!

To get started, we recommend to having:
- Airtight or vacuum sealed food pouches
- A water bath container, you can use your Instant Pot’s inner pot as it provides insulation that will help the cooker to maintain the temperature
- Tongs
- Optionally, some users like to use a vacuum sealer to suck the air out of the bag

When it’s time to replace the filter, the unit will display an orange border light around the Filter button on the control panel. The life expectancy of the filter is 6 to 8 months when operating continuously in Auto mode. This also depends on the quality of the air in your home.

Once the filter is replaced, touch and hold the Filter button for 3 seconds to reset it.

The touchscreen is sensitive and may have not responded to your touch. Lightly touch the display for 3 seconds until you will hear a beep. The indicator light will reset.

The Instant™ Air Purifier automatically detects the room light and when it's dark, it switches to Night mode. This turns off the display and plasma ion operations, and sets the fan to level 1 to reduce sound. When the light returns, the air purifier is set to Auto Mode.

To turn on the display during Night mode, touch the LIGHT button to turn on the display.

When Auto mode is turned on, the air purifier will automatically adjust fan speeds based on the air quality in your room.

Low fan level 1 operates when Intelligent Sensor detects “good” air quality.

Medium fan level 2 operates when Intelligent Sensor detects “fair” air quality.

High fan level 3 operates when Intelligent Sensor detects “poor” air quality.

The fan sound levels are as follows:

AP 100: Low=21dB; Medium= 31dB; High= 49dB.

AP 200: Low=21dB; Medium= 32dB; High= 54dB.

AP 300: Low=21dB; Medium= 34dB; High= 54dB.

The AP 100, small is ideal for 126 SQ FT which is typically for an office, den or bathroom.

The AP300, large is ideal for 388 SQ FT which is typical is for a living room.

Press the ±ION button to turn plasma ion technology on or off. In Auto mode, plasma ion technology will automatically turn on during the day and automatically turn off in Night mode.

Fine particulate matter is a mixture of solid particles and liquid droplets in the air. This could include dust, dirt, pollen, and smoke. PM2.5 indicates that the size of this particulate matter is 2.5 micrometers or less. The Instant Air Purifier includes a 3-in-1 filtration system to capture 99.97% of particulates that are 0.3 micrometers and larger.

For reference, 1000 micrometers is equivalent to 1 millimeter.

The air quality number shows the percentage of good air in the room. The measurement is based on the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) air quality index (AQI) for air pollution. Air quality is commonly measured as the amount of 2.5-micrometre particulate matter per cubic meter or “X micrograms per cubic meter.” When shown in scientific terms, you’ll see this: “X μg/m3”.

The Instant Air Purifier has a PM2.5 sensor that monitors the concentration of the mass of particulates in the air (micrograms per cubic meter).

On the Control Panel (for the Air Purifier Large model), it displays either Air Quality or Particulate Matter (PM2.5) ratings.

Good air quality is when the PM2.5 sensor measurement is <35 micrograms per cubic meter. This is shown visually by a white indicator light around the control panel.

Fair air quality is when the PM2.5 sensor measurement is between 35 - 55 micrograms per cubic meter. This is shown visually by a yellow indicator light around the control panel.

Poor air quality is when the PM2.5 sensor measurement is >55 micrograms per cubic meter. This is shown visually by a red indicator light around the control panel.

Because it constantly monitors the air in the room, your Instant Air purifier shows your air quality with a colored light to give you an at-a-glance reading. The color definitions are as follows:

- White means Good air quality which is defined as 2.5-micrometer particulate matter | <35 micrograms per cubic meter.
- Yellow means Fair air quality or 2.5-micrometer particulate matter | between 35 - 55 micrograms per cubic meter.
- Red means Poor quality or 2.5-micrometer particulate matter | >55 micrograms per cubic meter

When being used in an optimal environment and properly maintained, the Instant Air Purifier should be free from unusual odors. Please consider the following if you are experiencing odors being emitted from your Instant Air Purifier:

1) Check to make sure the filter was not installed with the plastic packaging.

2)Ensure the air outlet is free of dust or other debris.
