1.READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2.Do not touch hot surfaces. Only use side handles for carrying or moving.

4.Do not use near water or flame. Please keep out of direct sunlight.
5.Extreme caution must be used when moving the appliance containing hot liquids.
6.
The cooking pot will be hot after cooking. Allow sufficient cooling down time before handling or serving. Keep hands away from the sides and rim of the cooking pot. Failure to comply may result in scalding or serious injury.

Getting Started
1. Unbox Your Multicooker & Read Safeguards
Remove all packaging materials from in and around the multicooker and accessories. Do not remove safety and identification stickers from the cooker.
Read all warning cards and stickers.
2. Wash Before First Use
Clean the cooking pot, lid, and accessories in the dishwasher, or with hot water and dish soap. Rinse with clear water and dry thoroughly prior to using.
3. Cook with the Cooking Pot
The cooking pot is constructed with stainless steel bi-ply food grade 304 (18/8) interior and aluminum exterior for optimal heat transfer.
Make sure the cooker base is empty and that the heating element is clean, free of debris, and in good condition before use. Insert your clean, dry cooking pot into the cooker base. Always use the cooking pot when cooking in the multicooker.
Cooking pot will be hot during and after cooking. To avoid injury, Always use Instant Pot® mini mitts, heat-resistant pot-holders, or oven mitts
when handling a hot cooking pot.
While the cooking pot is stove-top and oven safe, the tempered glass lid should not be placed in a heated oven.
4. Secure the Power Cord
This multicooker has a grounded 3-prong plug. Grounding protects the people who use the multicooker from electric shock, as the casing is connected directly to the ground prong. It also protects the multicooker from power surges.
Secure the 3-prong plug into a 120V outlet. When plugged in but not in operation, the multicooker will remain in Standby mode and the display will show OFF. To disconnect, turn the cooker OFF then remove plug from wall outlet.
Do not remove the grounding prong from the power cord.
