To avoid risk of personal injury and/or

— 2/3 (Pressure Cooking Maximum) line as
indicated on the inner pot.
When cooking foods that foam or froth
(e.g., stewed apples, cranberries or split
peas) or expand (e.g., oats, rice, beans,
pasta) do not fill the inner pot higher than
the — 1/2 line as indicated on the inner pot.

good working order before use.
• To avoid personal injury or damage to the appliance, replace the inner pot if it is

Pressure level
Suggested
use
Notes
Low Pressure
5.1 – 8 psi
(35 – 55 kPa)
Fish and
seafood,
soft
vegetables
and rice.
The pressure
level
controls the
temperature,
so a higher
pressure
results in
a higher
cooking
temperature.
High Pressure
9.4 – 12.3 psi
(65 – 85 kPa)
Eggs, meat,
poultry, root
vegetables,
oats, beans,
grains,
bone broth,
stew, chili.
Instant Tip: Use the steam rack to keep foods out of the cooking liquid. This helps to distribute heat,
prevents nutrients from leeching into the cooking liquid and stops food items from sticking to the
bottom of the inner pot.
