Care, cleaning and storage
Clean your Duo and its parts after each use. Failure to follow these cleaning instructions
may result in catastrophic failure, which may lead to property damage and/or severe
personal injury.
Always unplug your multicooker and allow it to cool to room temperature before
cleaning. Never use metal scouring pads, abrasive powders or harsh chemical detergents
on any of the Instant Pot’s parts or accessories.
Allow all surfaces to dry thoroughly before use and before storage.

Removing and installing parts
.
• Check the condensation collector after each use and empty as needed.
Do not allow food or moisture to stagnate in the condensation collector.
• With steam release handle and anti-block shield removed, clean the interior
of the steam release pipe to prevent clogging.
• To drain water from the lid after dishwashing, take the lid handle and hold the
lid vertically over a sink, then turn it 360°— like turning a steering wheel.
• After cleaning, store the lid upside down on the multicooker base.
• Store sealing rings in a well-ventilated area to decrease residual odour from
highly-flavoured meals. To eliminate odours, add 250 mL water and 250 mL white
vinegar to inner pot and run Pressure Cook for 5–10 minutes, then QR pressure.
Inner pot
Dishwasher safe.
• Heavy hard water staining may require a vinegar dampened sponge
and some scrubbing to remove.
• If there is tough or burned food residue at the bottom, soak in hot water
for a few hours for easy cleaning.
• Make sure all exterior surfaces are dry before placing in multicooker base.
Power lead
Detachable power lead
Hand wash only. Do not wash in a dishwasher.
• Use a barely-damp cloth to wipe any particles off the lead.
Multicooker base
Hand wash only. Do not wash in a dishwasher.
• Wipe the inside of the outer pot as well as the condensation rim with a
barely damp cloth. Allow them to dry completely before inserting inner pot.
• Clean multicooker base and control panel with a soft, barely damp cloth
or sponge.
Some discolouration may occur after washing in a dishwasher, but this will not affect the cooker’s safety or
performance.
