Care, cleaning and storage
Clean your Instant Pot Pro and its parts after each use. Failure to follow these cleaning
instructions may result in catastrophic failure, which may lead to property damage or
severe personal injury.
Always unplug your multicooker and allow it to 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.
Allow all surfaces to 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, take 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 from highly
flavoured meals. To eliminate odours, add 1 cup (250 mL) water and 1 cup (250 mL)
white vinegar to the inner 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 discolouration) may require
scrubbing with a sponge dampened with vinegar or a non-abrasive cleanser like
Bar Keeper's Friend.
• For tough or burned-on food residue, add boiling water and washing up liquid
to the inner pot and leave to stand for a few hours for easy cleaning.
• Make sure all exterior surfaces are dry before placing the inner pot in the
multicooker base.
Wipe only.
• Use a barely damp cloth to remove particles from the lead.
• Wrap it around the multicooker base and tuck the end into the lead 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 inner pot.
• Clean the multicooker base and control panel with a soft, barely damp cloth or sponge.
