Cooking
The Air Fryer Lid makes your Instant Pot multicooker even more versatile, allowing you to pressure cook first and crisp up your dish, or cook meals solely with the Air Fryer Lid.
Depending on your recipe, you can use the multi-level air fryer basket, any oven-safe cookware, or place food directly in the inner pot. Always ensure the stainless-steel inner pot is inserted first.
Refer to 'Using the accessories' for more details.
NOTICE: If the 'Food burn' error appears while using the air fryer lid, deglaze the bottom of the inner pot as described in your Instant Pot user manual.
CAUTION: Do not use a non-stick ceramic coated inner pot to avoid property damage.
CAUTION: Do not overfill the inner pot or accessories. To prevent risk of fire, damage, and/or personal injury, ensure that food does not contact the heating element or the element cover.
CAUTION: The inner pot and accessories will be hot during and after cooking. To avoid injury, do not touch the hot inner pot or accessories with unprotected hands.
WARNING: Overloading electrical circuits can lead to fire, burns, and injury. Do not plug in the Air Fryer Lid and the Instant Pot cooker base at the same time. Always unplug the Instant Pot cooker base BEFORE plugging in the Air Fryer Lid.
Using the Accessories
The multi-level air fryer basket is perforated for an all-over crisp, ideal for most air-fried foods like wings, nuggets, and cauliflower bites. Different results can be achieved by changing the air flow in the inner pot.
Do this...
And get something like this!
Place food directly in the inner pot for cooking.
Golden and crispy on top, but the air won't flow easily around the bottom if the inner pot is against the sides. Juices from cooking may cause the bottom to retain a soggy texture. Perfect for chicken, less ideal for spring rolls!
Place food in the bottom of the multi-level air fryer basket.
Golden and crispy on the top and sides. Juices from cooking drip off so the bottom crisps up.
Place food in the bottom of the multi-level air fryer basket, then cover with the broil/dehydrating tray.
The air flow is diverted, resulting in less crisp. Great for dehydrating!
Place food on the broil/dehydrating tray.
Your food gets up close and personal with the heating element and crisps much faster. Perfect for melting cheese or giving your meal a golden finishing touch.
Instant Tip: Do not crowd the multi-level air fryer basket or the broil/dehydrating tray. Air must be able to circulate freely around food.
Assemble the Multi-level Air Fryer Basket
Place the air fryer basket base on a stable surface.
Position the multi-level 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.
If you want to use the broil/dehydrating tray, insert it into the multi-level air fryer basket with the smooth side up.
Note: To easily maneuver the broil/dehydrating tray, lift it with two fingers from the large holes in the middle of the tray. To prevent personal injury, make sure to only handle the accessories when they are cool.
Cook First, Crisp Later
To cook your food before using the Air Fryer Lid:
Insert your food into the stainless-steel inner pot, then insert the inner pot into a compatible Instant Pot cooker base.
Note: See 'Compatibility' for the full list of Instant Pots that work with this Air Fryer Lid.
Follow cooking instructions from your user manual.
When cooking ends (and you have released all pressure, if pressure cooking) remove the pressure cooker lid.
Unplug the Instant Pot as directed in your user manual.
Note: Always unplug the Instant Pot cooker base BEFORE plugging in the Air Fryer Lid.

Stage 2: Getting your food ready for cooking
As it preheats, refer to 'Using the accessories' to choose the best accessory for your cooking needs, and prepare your food as needed.
When the Air Fryer Lid reaches the perfect temperature, the display shows 'Add Food', then changes to the cooking time and starts the countdown. You can put food in the inner pot before or after preheating, as your recipe recommends. Cooking will start 10 seconds after the notification appears, whether food has been added or not.
Carefully lift the Air Fryer Lid off the cooker base and place it on the protective pad. Lifting the lid pauses cooking.
Note: Using proper hand protection, carefully insert the food or cooking accessory into the inner pot.
Place the Air Fryer Lid on the cooker base to resume cooking.
CAUTION: If the Air Fryer Lid is not placed correctly, you will get a 'Lid' or 'C9' error. Failure to ensure a proper connection could result in damage to the cooker.
CAUTION: The inner pot and accessories will be hot during and after cooking. To avoid injury, do not touch the hot inner pot or accessories with unprotected hands.
Stage 3: Cooking
During the Air Fry and Roast programs, the cooker beeps partway through cooking and the display shows 'turn Food'.
Note: Some food doesn't need to be flipped. If you don't remove the lid after the 'turn food' indicator appears, cooking continues after 10 seconds.
If you want to turn or toss your food, lift the lid off the cooker base and place it on the protective pad.
Carefully turn, flip, or rotate your food items, then place the air fryer lid back on the cooker base to resume cooking.
Note: If the lid is left off for longer than 3 minutes, it will go back to standby mode and display 'OFF'.
When the Smart Program finishes, the display shows 'End'. The fan may keep blowing for up to 5 minutes or until you lift the lid.
Note: The Air Fryer Lid beeps to remind you that cooking has ended 5 minutes, 20 minutes, and 60 minutes after cooking finishes.
Cooking Tips
Cook all your favorite fresh and frozen oven-baked and deep-fried snacks – fast!
Preheating is an important step! Wait for the 'Add Food' message to appear before adding food to the inner pot.
For coated food, like onion rings or deep-fried pickles, use an egg wash with breadcrumbs rather than liquid-based batters to ensure batter sticks to the food.
Spray food items with cooking oil before adding seasoning to get the seasoning to stick well.
For super crispy fries, soak your fresh-cut potato sticks in ice water for 15 minutes, then pat them dry and spray them lightly with oil before cooking.
Patting dry moist food items before cooking prevents excess steam and splatter and gives you crispier results.
CAUTION: The inner pot and accessories will be hot during and after cooking. To avoid injury, do not touch the hot inner pot or accessories with unprotected hands.
CAUTION: Refer to the USDA's Safe Minimum Internal Temperature Chart at fsis.usda.gov/safetempchart or Health Canada's Cooking Temperatures Chart at canada.ca/foodsafety for more information.

This Limited Warranty extends only to the original purchaser and use of the appliance in the United States of America and Canada. This warranty does not cover units that are used outside of the United States of America and Canada.
Any modification or attempted modification to your appliance may interfere with the safe operation of the appliance and will void this Limited Warranty. This Limited Warranty does not apply in respect of any appliance or any part thereof that has been altered or modified unless such alterations or modifications were expressly authorized by an Instant Brands representative.
Limitation and Exclusions
The liability of Instant Brands, if any, for any allegedly defective appliance or part shall in no circumstances exceed the purchase price of a comparable replacement appliance.
This Limited Warranty does not cover:
Damage resulting from accident, alteration, misuse, abuse, neglect, unreasonable use, use contrary to the operating instructions, normal wear and tear, commercial use, improper assembly, disassembly, failure to provide reasonable and necessary maintenance, fire, flood, acts of God or repair by anyone unless directed by an Instant Brands Representative;
Repairs where your appliance is used for other than normal, personal use or when it is used in a manner that is contrary to published user or operator instructions; or
Use of unauthorized parts and accessories, or repairs to parts and systems resulting from unauthorized repairs or modifications made to this appliance.
