Close Close: Grip handle and align the on lid with indicator on rim of cooker base. Lower lid into track then turn lid clockwise until on the lid lines up with indicator on base. Note: Always check lid for damage prior to cooking.
2 Check Sealing Ring & Sealing Ring Rack Remove: P ull sealing ring out from behind sealing ring rack. Inspect sealing ring rack. It should be centered in the lid and an even height all the way around. Sealing ring must be installed before use and cleaned after each use. Remove Install: Place sealing ring over sealing ring rack and press into place. Ensure entire sealing ring is snug behind sealing ring rack. After closing the lid, the sealing ring creates an airtight seal between lid and cooker base.
3 Remove & Install Float Valve The float valve has 2 positions. It pops up to indicate when the cooker is pressurized, and lowers into the lid when the cooker is depressurized. Remove: Place one finger on the flat top of float valve. Turn lid over. Detach silicone cap from bottom side of float valve. Remove float valve from top of lid. Do not discard float valve or silicone cap.
4 Remove & Install Anti-Block Shield Remove: Grip lid and press firmly against side of anti-block shield (pressing towards side of lid and up) until it pops off the prongs underneath. Anti-block shield must be installed before use and cleaned after each use. Install: Place anti-block shield over prongs and press down until it snaps into position. Anti-block shield prevents food particles from coming up through the steam release pipe, assisting with pressure regulation.

Install: Place steam release valve on steam release pipe and press down. Fits loosely when installed properly, but will remain in place when the lid is turned over.
6 Remove & Clean Inner Pot Remove inner pot from cooker base and wash with hot water and dish soap before first use. Wipe outer surfaces of inner pot and heating element to ensure they are dry and free of food debris. Failure to do so may damage the cooker. Place inner pot into cooker base before cooking. Food must be placed only in the inner pot, not cooker base. The inner pot is an integral part of product safety. Always use an authorized Instant Pot® inner pot made for this model when cooking.
7 Install Condensation Collector Install: On back of cooker base, align grooves on condensation collector over tabs and push condensation collector into place. The condensation collector accumulates excess water and should be installed before cooking. Clean after use. Remove: Pull condensation collector away from cooker base. Do not pull down on condensation collector.
Let’s get cooking! Venting Methods Venting Methods When closing the lid, the quick release button will automatically reset to the popped up “Seal” position.
Natural Release (NR) Leave the steam release in the “Seal” position (up). The cooker dissipates heat so pressure releases naturally over time. This method must be used when cooking food such as soups, stews or chilis, as well as food that expands, such as beans and grains. Note: Depressurization time will vary based upon volume of food and liquid. May take 10-40 minutes, or longer. Quick Release (QR) Vent: Press quick release button down until it clicks.
