Pressure cooking lid
What we love about it
What you should know about it
When you close it, it sets to
Seal
automatically, for seriously easy pressure
cooking.
While plugged in, the Duo Viva plays a little
jingle when you open and close the lid.
The lid is removable during non-pressure
cooking so you can taste-test as you go.
When you’re pressure cooking, the lid
only locks into place once the multicooker
has pressurized. Try not to remove the lid
unnecessarily!
Removing the lid
01
Grip the lid handle and turn it counter-
clockwise to align the symbol on the
lid with the symbol on the rim of the
multicooker base
.
02
Lift the lid up and off the multicooker
base towards your body.
Closing the lid
01
Align the symbol on the lid with the
symbol on the multicooker base
,
then lower the lid onto the track.
02
Turn the lid clockwise until the symbol
on the lid aligns with the symbol on
the multicooker base
.
WARNING
Only use a compatible Instant Pot Duo Viva lid with the Instant Pot Duo Viva multicooker
base. Using any other pressure cooker lids may cause injury and/or damage.
CAUTION
Always check the lid for damage and excessive wear prior to cooking to avoid risk
of injury and/or property damage.
Illustrations in this document are for reference only and may differ from the actual product.
Always refer to the actual product.
WARNING
Do not cover or block the steam release valve in any way to avoid risk of personal
injury and/or property damage.
Quick release button
The quick release button controls the steam release valve — the part that controls when
pressure is released from the multicooker.
What we love about it
What we should know about it
It’s really easy to use, and
keeps our hands far away
from the steam!
The lid says
Turn to Seal
, but it’s more like a flicking motion.
Don’t turn the quick release button more than ¼” (or 45°),
and always let it spring back to its original position.
See
for safe venting methods and information on pressurization
and depressurization.
Steam release valve
The steam release valve sits loosely on the steam release pipe.
When the multicooker releases pressure, steam ejects
from the top of the steam release valve. The steam release
valve is integral to product safety and necessary for
pressure cooking.
