IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
• DO NOT lean over the appliance when removing the lid, as heat and
steam escape when the lid is removed.
• Turn the appliance off if steam escapes from the steam release valve
and/or float valve in a steady stream during Pre-heating or Cooking,
for longer than 3 minutes.
• If steam escapes from the sides of the lid, turn the appliance off and
make sure the sealing ring is properly installed. Refer to Pressure
control features: Sealing ring.
• DO NOT attempt to force the lid off the Instant Pot multicooker base.
Refer to Releasing pressure.
10 When cooking meat with skin (e.g. sausage with casing), the skin can
swell when heated. Do not pierce the skin while it is swollen as this
could result in a scalding injury.
11 When pressure cooking food with a high fat/oil content or a doughy or
thick texture, contents may splatter when opening the lid. Follow recipe
instructions for pressure release method. Refer to Releasing pressure.
12 Oversized foods and/or metal utensils must not be inserted into the
inner pot as they may cause a risk of fire and/or personal injury.
13 Proper maintenance is recommended before and after each use:
• Check the steam release valve, steam release pipe, anti-block shield
and float valve for clogging;
• Before inserting the inner pot into the multicooker base, make sure
both parts are dry and free of food debris;
• Allow the appliance to cool to room temperature prior to cleaning
or storage.
