This lid is compatible with all 6-quart Instant Pot models. It is intended for use during cooking functions that do not require pressure, such as Sauté, Slow Cook, and Keep-Warm.

4. Operating Instructions

The tempered glass lid is an accessory that enhances the versatility of your Instant Pot for specific cooking methods:

• Sauté Function: Use the glass lid to cover the inner pot while sautéing to minimize splatter and retain heat, allowing you to observe the cooking process.
• Slow Cook Function: Replace the pressure lid with the glass lid when using the Slow Cook program. This allows for continuous monitoring and prevents pressure buildup, which is not required for slow cooking.
• Keep-Warm Function: After cooking, use the glass lid to cover the pot during the Keep-Warm cycle. This helps maintain food temperature and moisture while allowing easy access for serving.
• Oven Use: The lid can be used with the stainless steel inner pot in a conventional oven up to 428°F (220°C). Ensure the inner pot is removed from the Instant Pot base before placing it in the oven.
• Serving: The clear glass design makes this lid ideal for covering food when serving directly from the inner pot, keeping food warm and protected.

5. Care and Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and hygiene of your Instant Pot Tempered Glass Lid, follow these cleaning instructions:

• Dishwasher Safe: The lid is safe for cleaning in a dishwasher. Place it on the top rack for best results.
• Hand Washing: For hand washing, use warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before storage.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scouring pads, as these can scratch the glass or damage the stainless steel finish.

6. Troubleshooting

The Instant Pot Tempered Glass Lid is a simple accessory with minimal troubleshooting requirements. Most issues relate to fit or cleaning.

• Lid Does Not Fit: Ensure you have the correct 6-quart size lid for your Instant Pot model. This lid is specifically designed for 6-quart Instant Pot inner pots.
• Excessive Steam Escaping: A small amount of steam escaping from the vent is normal. If steam is escaping excessively from around the rim, ensure the lid is seated correctly and the inner pot is not overfilled.
• Stains or Residue: For stubborn stains, a mixture of baking soda and water can be used as a gentle abrasive. For water spots, a vinegar solution can be effective.
