IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Your Instant Pot® cooks with pressure. When using pressure cookers, basic safety
precautions should always be followed.
PLEASE READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
1. Do not touch hot surfaces of pressure cooker. Use handles only.
2. This appliance should not be used near children or by individuals with disabilities or
limited knowledge in using pressure cookers.
3. Do not place the pressure cooker in a heated oven or any hot surfaces.
4. Extreme caution must be used when moving a pressure cooker containing hot liquids.
5. Do not use pressure cooker for other than intended use.
6. Intended for countertop use. For Household use only. Not for outdoor use if unattended.
7. This appliance cooks under pressure. Always ensure there is a minimum of 1 measuring
cup of liquid for the cooker to pressurize. Improper use may result in scalding injuries. Make
certain the unit is properly closed before operating. Please see “Cooking Preparation”.
8. For all pressure cooking programs, do not fill the unit over 2/3 full. When cooking foods
that expand during cooking such as grains, beans, and dried vegetables, do not fill the unit
over 1/2 full. Overfilling may cause a risk of clogging the pressure release valve and
developing excess pressure. Please see “Cooking Preparation”.
9. Be aware that certain foods, such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal and
other cereals, split peas, noodles, macaroni, rhubarb, and spaghetti can foam, froth, sputter,
and clog the pressure release. These food items should not be cooked in a pressure cooker.
10. Always check the pressure release valve, float valve and anti-block shield for clogging
before use.
11. Make sure the pressure release handle is in the sealing position for all pressure cooking
programs.
12. Do not open the pressure cooker until the unit has cooled and all internal pressure has
been released. If the handles are difficult to push apart, this indicates that the cooker is still
pressurized – do not force it open. Any pressure in the cooker can be hazardous. Please see
“Cooking Preparation”.
13. Never deep fry or pressure fry in the unit with oil.
14. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the cord, power plug, or appliance in
any liquid.
15. Unplug from power outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow the unit to cool
before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. To disconnect, turn any control to
"off", then remove plug from the wall outlet.
16. Do not operate any appliance with damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance
malfunctions or has been damaged in any manner.
17. Use of accessories and parts that are not recommended by Instant Pot® may cause
damages. Cook only in the stainless steel inner cooking pot provided.
18. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
19. Do not use this product in any electrical systems other than what is specified in the
product label.

Special Cord Set Instructions
To reduce the risk of electric shock, plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical
outlet that is easily accessible. This plug is intended to fit into a polarized outlet in only one way. If
the plug does not fit into the outlet, flip the plug. Do not attempt to modify the plug in any way.
For safety reasons, the power supply cord is designed to be short to minimize the possibility of
entanglement or tripping.
WARNING: Spilled food can cause serious burns. Keep appliance and cord away from children.
Never drape cord over edge of counter, never use outlet below counter, and never use with an
extension cord.
