Instant Pot PRO PLUS User Manual page 26

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 air-tight seal between the lid and the cooking 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. Visit our store to start colour coding your cooking!
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.
