Cleaning Before First Use
Remove the inner pot from the cooker base and wash it with hot water and
washing up liquid. Rinse with warm, clear water and use a soft cloth to dry the
outside of the inner pot.
Note:
The inner pot is dishwasher safe.
Wipe the heating element with a soft cloth to ensure there are no stray packaging
particles present before returning the inner pot to the cooker base.
Note:
Before cooking, always ensure the heating element is clean and dry before inserting
the inner pot into the cooker base. Failure to do so may damage the cooker.
The inner pot is an integral part of product safety. Food
must
be placed in the
inner pot, and never directly in the cooker base.
To avoid personal injury or damage to the appliance, replace a deformed or
damaged inner pot. Use only authorised Instant Pot inner pots made for this
model when cooking.
CAUTION
To avoid risk of personal injury and/or property damage, as well as damage to the
cooker, do not pour food or liquid into cooker base.
WARNING
Do not fill the inner pot higher than the
PC MAX — 2/3
(Pressure Cooking Maximum),
as indicated on the inner pot.
Exercise extreme caution when cooking and venting food such as applesauce,
cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal, split peas, noodles, etc., as these foods may
foam, froth, or spatter, and may clog the steam release pipe and/or steam release
valve. Do not fill the inner pot higher than the
— 1/2
line when cooking these foods.
