Initial Setup

Clean before use

1. Wash the inner cooking pot with hot water and dish soap. Rinse and use a soft cloth to dry the outside. Alternatively, wash the inner cooking pot in the dishwasher.
2. Wipe the heating element inside the cooker base with a soft cloth to ensure there are no stray packaging particles.

Setting up the Condensation Collector

The condensation collector sits at the back of the cooker base to accumulate overflow moisture. It should be installed before cooking and emptied/rinsed after each use.

• Install the condensation collector: Align the grooves on the collector with the tabs on the back of the cooker base and slide it into place.
• Remove the condensation collector: Pull the collector away from the cooker base; do not pull down. Note the tabs on the base and grooves on the collector.

Using the Sealing Ring

The sealing ring creates an airtight seal when the lid is closed. It comes pre-installed but should be checked for secure installation before each use. Clean the sealing ring after each use. Sealing rings may stretch over time; replace every 12-18 months or sooner if damaged.

Installing the Sealing Ring

1. Place the sealing ring over the sealing ring rack and press it into place, ensuring no puckering.
2. The sealing ring should be snug and not fall out when the lid is inverted.

Removing the Sealing Ring

Open the Lid

1. Turn the lid handle to align the ▼ symbol on the lid with the [ symbol on the right side of the Control Panel on the cooker base.
2. Lift the lid up and off the cooker base.

How to Release Steam

Your Instant Pot can release steam in two ways:

Natural Steam Release

Releases steam gradually over time (up to 40 minutes or more) after cooking stops. Use for foods that simmer, like stews, chili, pasta, oatmeal, beans, and grains.

1. After cooking, leave the steam release switch in the Seal position until all pressure is released.
2. The float valve drops into the lid when all steam is released.
3. After steam release, turn the lid counterclockwise and remove it.

Quick Steam Release

Quickly releases steam after you press the steam release switch. Use for foods that tend to overcook, like vegetables and seafood.

1. After cooking, set the steam release switch to the Vent position and wait for all pressure to release.
2. The float valve drops into the lid when all steam is released.
3. After steam release, turn the lid counterclockwise and remove it.

You can insert the handle into the cooking base vertically for easy storage.

About Pressure Cooking

CAUTION: This appliance uses pressure to cook. Allow the appliance to release all excess pressure and steam before opening the lid. Opening the lid before pressure is released may result in burns, personal injury and/or property damage. Read more in the ‘Important Safeguards’ section.

Pressure cooking uses pressurized steam to quickly and evenly cook foods, allowing you to cook food much faster than normal. The Instant Pot goes through 3 stages:

Step 1: Pre-heating

• The multi-cooker heats the liquid to create steam. Once enough pressure has built up, the Float Valve raises, the lid locks in place, and the multi-cooker is ready to start cooking.

Step 2: Cooking

• When the multi-cooker reaches the required pressure level, cooking begins and maintains the pressure level consistently throughout cooking. See Smart Program instructions starting on page 21.

Step 3: Steam Release

• When food has finished cooking, the multi-cooker is still pressurized and hot. Venting releases the pressure, lowers the temperature, and allows you to safely remove the lid. See ‘How to release steam’ on page 18.

Using Liquid to Create Steam

Pressure cooking requires liquid in the inner cooking pot to produce steam. Minimum amounts needed:

• Minimum Liquid for Pressure Cooking: 500ml (Unless otherwise specified in recipe).

Pressure cooking liquids should be water-based, such as broth, stock, soup, or juice. If using canned, condensed, or cream-based soup, add water as directed.
