Sealing Ring - Instant Pot Duo Plus Series User Manual

Overview of Pressure Control Features

Sealing Ring

When the pressure cooking lid is closed, the sealing
ring installed on the underside of the lid creates an
airtight seal between the lid and the cooker base.
The sealing ring must be installed before using
the cooker and should be cleaned after each use.
Only 1 sealing ring should be installed in the lid
when using the cooker. Use one for sweet dishes
and one for savoury.
Sealing rings stretch over time with normal use. As
an integral part of product safety, the sealing ring
should be replaced every 12–18 months or sooner
if stretching, deformation or damage is noticed.
Remove the Sealing Ring
Grip the edge of the silicone and pull the sealing
ring out from behind the circular stainless steel
sealing ring rack.
With the sealing ring removed, inspect the rack to
ensure it is secured, centered, and an even height
all the way around the lid. Do not attempt to repair
a deformed sealing ring rack.
Install the Sealing Ring
Place the sealing ring over the sealing ring rack
and press it into place. Press down firmly to
alleviate puckering.
When installed properly, the sealing ring is snug
behind sealing ring rack and should not fall out
when the lid is turned over.
Instant Tip: Silicone is porous, so it may absorb strong aromas and certain
flavors. Keep extra sealing rings on hand to limit the transfer of those aromas
and flavors between dishes. Visit
Always check for cuts, deformation, and correct installation of the sealing ring prior
