Safety without Compromise

Instant Pot has been carefully designed to eliminate many common errors from causing harm or spoiling food. It has passed the stringent UL & ULC certification giving you uncompromised safety and peace of mind. Instant Pot protects you with 10 proven safety mechanisms and patented technologies.

1.  Pressure Regulator, ensures working pressure below the safety limit
2.  Anti-Blockage Vent, prevents food debris from blocking the vent
3.  Safety Lid Lock, prevents accidental opening of the cooker while it is pressurized
4. Designed with a sensor for lid position detection, monitors whether the lid is in an unsafe position for pressure cooking
5.  Automatic temperature control, regulates temperature based on the type of program being selected
6.  High Temperature monitoring, avoids burning food
7. Automatic Pressure Controller, keeps pressure always in the safe range
8. Electrical current and temperature fuse cuts off power if the current or internal temperature exceeds safety limits
9. Excess Pressure Protection, releases excess pressure into internal chamber in a dangerous situation
10. Smart detection of leaky lid (e.g. steam release is in the open position)

Read warning card and warning stickers. Remove all packaging materials and removable warning cards from the cooker and accessories.

1. Clean the inner pot, lid, and accessories with water and detergent before the first use.
2. Install the condensation collector at the rear of the cooker by aligning the top of the collector with the guides on the cooker and press in.
   
3. Place the steam release handle on the lid.
   
   The steam release handle does not lock tight into the lid but will fit loosely.

Before using your Instant Pot® 

1. To remove the lid, hold the handle, turn the lid counter clockwise and lift.
   
2. Remove the inner pot from the cooker.
3. Add food and liquids to the inner pot as the recipe directs. If steaming, place the steam rack on the bottom of the inner pot first. See “Cooking and Safety Tips” on page 22 for the minimum liquid requirement for pressure cooking.
4. Wipe the outside of the inner pot dry. Make sure there is no food debris on the heating element.
5. Put the inner pot back into the cooker. Rotate slightly to ensure that it is seated correctly.
6. When installing the sealing ring, make sure the sealing ring rack is completely set in the groove on the inside of the sealing ring. Ensure there is no deformation on the sealing ring rack. Do not attempt to repair a deformed ring rack.
7. To place lid, reverse Step 1. Place the lid on the cooker, align the mark on the lid with the  (unlock) mark and turn clockwise to the  (lock) mark.

• Make sure the steam release valve, float valve, and anti-block shield are clean and free from debris.
• After putting the lid on, make sure the float valve on lid top drops down.
• Do not put the lid on for the Sauté program.
