Care, cleaning and storage

Clean your Instant Pot Pro Plus and its parts after each use. Failure to follow these cleaning
instructions may result in catastrophic failure, which may lead to property damage and/or
severe personal injury.
Always unplug your multicooker and let it cool to room temperature before cleaning.
Never use metal scouring pads, abrasive powders or harsh chemical detergents on any of
the Instant Pot's parts or accessories.
Let all surfaces dry thoroughly before use, and before storage.

Remove all the parts from the lid before cleaning. See Care, cleaning and storage:
Removing and installing parts.
• With the steam release valve and anti-block shield removed, clean the interior of the
steam release pipe with a pipe cleaner to prevent clogging.
• To drain water from the lid after dishwashing, grasp the lid handle and hold the lid
vertically over a sink, then turn it 360°— like turning a steering wheel.
• After cleaning and draining, store the lid upside down on the multicooker base to allow it
to air dry completely.
• Store sealing rings in a well-ventilated area to decrease residual odour of flavourful meals.
To eliminate odours, add 250 mL water and 250 mL white vinegar to the cooking pot,
then run Pressure Cook for 5 to 10 minutes and QR pressure.
• Check the condensation collector after each use and empty and clean it as needed.
Do not allow food or moisture to sit in the condensation collector, as harmful bacteria
may result.
Dishwasher safe.
• Acute hard water staining (rainbow, bluish or white discoloration) may require scrubbing
with a sponge dampened with vinegar or a nonabrasive cleanser.
• For tough or burned food residue, add boiling water and dish soap to the cooking pot
and let it sit for a few hours for easy cleaning.
• Make sure all exterior surfaces are dry before placing the cooking pot in the multicooker
base.
Wipe only.
• Use a barely damp cloth to remove particles from the cord.
• Wrap it around the multicooker base and tuck the end into the cord holder.
Wipe only.
• Wipe the inside of the outer pot as well as the condensation rim with a barely damp
cloth. Allow them to dry completely before inserting the cooking pot.
• Clean the multicooker base and control panel with a soft, barely damp cloth or sponge.
