In order to get a feel for your Instant Pot before jumping in with your favorite recipe, it’s a great

idea to take it for a test run. This will help you to become familiar with your Instant Pot, make sure

that your unit is working perfectly and also clean the unit of possible residues in the process. This

test run can be accomplished in about 15 minutes. It’s oponal but recommended.

1. Make sure the steam release handle and oat valve are unobstructed and clean and that the

sealing ring is properly seated.

2. Insert the inner pot in the cooker base and add water to the

“3” mark on the inner pot.

3. Close the lid. Make sure that the steam release handle is

poinng to "Sealing" mark on the lid.

4. Press the "Steam" buon, and press the “-“ buon to change

the me to 2 minutes.

5. In 10 seconds, your Instant Pot will go into the preheang cycle

(display showing “On”). Within a few minutes steam will start

coming out for a minute or two unl the Float Valve pops up

and seals the cooker. Within another minute or two the

working pressure will be reached and the countdown mer will begin. Once the countdown

is nished, your Instant Pot will beep and automacally go into the “Keep Warm” mode.

That’s it. The test is complete. Press the “Keep-Warm/Cancel” buon and/or unplug the unit.

Once the pot cools down, you can open it and are ready to try your favorite recipe.
