Instant Pot PRO 60 User Manual page 14

Pressure control features
Anti-block shield
The anti-block shield prevents food particles from coming up
through the steam release pipe, which assists with pressure
regulation.
The anti-block shield is integral to product safety and necessary for
pressure cooking, so it must be installed before use.
Sealing ring
When the pressure cooking lid is closed, the sealing ring creates
an airtight seal between the lid and the inner pot.
The sealing ring must be installed before use.
Only one sealing ring should be installed in the lid
at a time.
Instant Tip: Silicone is porous, so it absorbs strong aromas
and certain flavours. Keep extra sealing rings on hand to limit
the transfer of those aromas and flavours between dishes.

Always check for cuts, deformation and correct installation before cooking,
as sealing rings stretch over time with normal use. If you notice stretching,
deformation or damage to your sealing ring, DO NOT use it.
Replace the sealing ring every 12 to 18 months or sooner, and only use
authorised Instant Pot sealing rings.
Failure to follow these instructions may cause food to discharge, which may lead
to personal injury or property damage.

CAUTION
Pressure control features
Float valve
The float valve lets you know when there is pressure in the multicooker (pressurised) or not
(depressurised). It appears in 2 positions:
Pressurised
The float valve has visibly popped
up above the surface of the lid.
The float valve and silicone cap work together to seal in pressurised 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.
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.
Depressurised
The float valve has dropped
and the top is flush with the lid or below.
