Float Valve - Instant Pot DUO PLUS Series User Manual

Pressure control features

Float valve

The float valve is a visual indication of whether there is pressure in the multicooker
(pressurized) or not (depressurized). It appears in two positions:
Pressurized
The float valve has visibly popped
up above the surface of the lid.
The float valve and silicone cap work together to seal in pressurized steam. These parts
must be installed before use. Do not attempt to operate the Instant Pot without the float
valve properly installed. Do not touch the float valve during use.
Illustrations in this document are for reference only and may differ from the actual product.
DO NOT attempt to remove the lid while the float valve is up and NEVER
attempt to force the lid open. Contents are under extreme pressure. Float
valve must be down before attempting to remove the lid. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.
