Use the steam rack to keep foods out of the cooking liquid. This helps to distribute heat, prevents nutrients
from leeching into the cooking liquid, and, stops food items from sticking to the bottom of the inner pot.
Always cook with the inner pot in
place. Food must be placed in the
inner pot. DO NOT pour food or
liquid into the multicooker base.
To avoid risk of personal injury and/or
property damage, place food and liquid
ingredients in the inner pot, then insert
the inner pot into the multicooker base.
Always inspect the lid and inner pot carefully to make sure they are clean and in
good working condition before use.
• To avoid personal injury or damage to the appliance, replace the inner pot if it is
dented, deformed or damaged.
• Use only authorized Instant Pot inner pots made for this model when cooking.
Always make sure the inner pot and heating element are clean and dry before
inserting the inner pot into the multicooker base.
Failure to follow these instructions may damage the multicooker. Replace
damaged parts to ensure safe function.
Using pressurized steam guarantees your
dish is cooked evenly and deeply, for the
delicious results you expect every time.
