Always inspect your Instant Pot pressure cooking lid, inner pot and cooker base
carefully to ensure they are clean and in good working condition before use.

*Unless otherwise specified in recipe.
Pressure cooking liquids should be water-based, such as broth, stock, soup or
juice. If using canned, condensed, or cream-based soup, add water as directed
above.
For best results when pressure baking, pour mixture into an oven-safe baking
dish, not directly into the inner pot (unless specified in your recipe), and cover
with aluminium foil or an oven-safe lid. Place the baking dish on the steam rack in
the inner pot, and leave approximately 2.5 cm of space around the baking dish to
allow heat to circulate evenly.

Add water and food to the inner pot as indicated in your recipe.
Note:
When cooking beans or grains, refer to the
Grain-to-Water Ratios
for best results.
2.
Insert the inner pot into the cooker base.
3.
Secure the power lead to the base power socket at the back of the cooker
base. Ensure the connection is tight. Connect the power lead to a 220–240 V~
power source. The cooker goes to Standby mode and the display indicates
OFF
.

Close the lid as described in

Note:
The quick release switch will automatically set to
