Cooking with Your Instant Pot

Initial Test Run

In order to familiarize yourself with the Instant Pot® and start
cooking with your favourite recipe, it is highly recommended for
first time users to do a test run. This test run will help you become
familiar with Instant Pot®, make sure the unit is free of residues
from the manufacturing process, and indicate whether your unit is
working properly. This optional, but recommended, test run will
complete in about 15 minutes.
1. Make sure the pressure release handle and float valve are
unobstructed and clean, and that the sealing ring is properly
inserted.
2. Place the inner pot in the cooker base and add 3 measuring
cups of water into the inner pot.
3. Close the lid. Make sure that the pressure release handle is pointing to the "Sealing" mark on
the lid.
4. Press the "Steam" button, and press the "-" button to change the time to 2 minutes.
5. In 10 seconds, your Instant Pot® will go into the preheating cycle (display showing "On").
Within a few minutes, steam will release for a minute or two until the Float Valve pops up to
seal the cooker. Once working pressure is reached, which may take a few minutes or up to 10
-13 minutes, the countdown timer will begin. When the countdown is finished, the Instant
Pot® will beep and automatically switch into the "Keep Warm" mode.
The test is now complete. Press the "Keep-Warm/Cancel" button and/or unplug the unit. Once the
pot cools down, you can open it and are ready to try your
favorite recipes.
