Children should not play with this appliance.
• DO NOT use the appliance for anything other than household use.
It is not intended for commercial use.
• DO NOT leave the appliance unattended while in use.
Pressure Cooking
This appliance cooks under pressure. Allow the appliance to

Failure to follow these instructions may result in burns, personal
injury and/or property damage.
• DO make sure the appliance is properly closed before operating.
• DO check that the steam release valve is installed properly.
• DO use the pressure cooking lid or Ultimate lid when pressure cooking.
• DO turn the appliance off if steam escapes from the steam
release valve and/or float valve in a steady stream for longer than

User Manual
Failure to follow safety instructions may result in personal injury
and/or property damage and may void your warranty.
• DO NOT move the appliance when it is pressurized.
• DO NOT cover or obstruct the steam release valve and/or float
valve with cloth or other objects.
• DO NOT attempt to open the appliance until it has depressurized,
and all internal pressure has been released. Attempting to open
the appliance while it is still pressurized may lead to sudden release
of hot contents and may cause burns, personal injury and/or
property damage.
• DO NOT place your face, hands or exposed skin over the steam
release valve or float valve when the appliance is in operation or
has residual pressure, and do not lean over the appliance when
removing the lid.
Overfill During Pressure Cooking
Overfilling may cause a risk of clogging the steam release pipe and
valve, developing excess pressure.
• DO NOT fill the inner cooking pot over the line labeled ‘PC MAX’ or
‘Max PC Fill’.
• DO NOT fill the inner cooking pot over the line labeled ‘1/2’ when
cooking foods that expand during cooking such as rice, dried beans
or dried vegetables.
• DO be aware that certain foods, such as applesauce, cranberries,
pearl barley, oatmeal or other cereals, split peas, noodles, macaroni,
rhubarb, or spaghetti can foam, froth and sputter, and clog the
steam release pipe and valve. DO NOT fill the inner cooking pot over
the line labeled ‘1/2’ when cooking these foods.
• DO NOT place oversized foods into the inner cooking pot as they
may cause risk of fire, personal injury and/or property damage.
Air Frying Cautions
When the air fryer is in operation, hot air is released through the air
vents. Keep your hands and face away from the air vents and take
extreme caution when removing hot accessories from the appliance.
Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or property damage.
While cooking, the internal temperature of the appliance reaches several
hundred degrees. To avoid personal injury, never place unprotected
hands inside the appliance until it has cooled to room temperature.

Ultimate lid.
• DO use caution when using cooking containers made of materials
other than metal or glass. Failure to do so may result in personal
injury, fire and/or property damage.
• DO use extreme caution when removing the inner cooking pot, air
fry basket or cooking tray, or disposing of hot cooking residue.
• DO NOT use a ceramic-coated or stoneware pot for air frying.

• DO NOT operate the appliance on or near combustible materials
such as tablecloths and curtains.
• DO NOT use this appliance for deep frying foods.
• DO NOT pour oil into the cooking container. Using excess cooking oil
could cause fire and result in personal injury and/or property damage.

chemicals that can damage the non-stick finish of the cooking tray.
If needed, spray food lightly with oil with a high smoke point (such
as refined avocado oil, safflower oil, refined sunflower oil, refined
peanut oil, canola oil and refined coconut oil) from a non-aerosol,
pump-style cooking spray before placing in the basket.

to contact the heating element, which may result in personal injury,
fire, and/or property damage. When using an air fry tray or cooking
tray, only place food in a single layer and do not stack. When using
an air fry basket, do not fill more than 3/4 full. Best air frying results
require air circulating through the food.
• DO NOT allow food to contact the heating element.

PRESSURE COOK + STEAM
Both programs use pressurized steam to quickly and evenly cook foods.
Use Pressure Cook for most pressure cooking recipes and use Steam as
you would a regular stovetop steamer, boiling liquid to cook food with
hot steam.
Using liquid for pressure cooking
Pressure cooking requires liquid in the Inner Cooking Pot to produce
the steam needed. For this Instant Pot Duo Crisp, here are the
minimum amounts you’ll need:
Cooking Pot Size Minimum Liquid for Pressure Cooking*
6.5 Quarts/ 6.2 Litres 2 cups (16 oz / 500 mL)
*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.

Some states or provinces do not allow for: (1) the exclusion of implied warranties of
merchantability or fitness; (2) limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts; and/or
(3) the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages; so these
limitations may not apply to you. In these states and provinces, you have only the implied
warranties that are expressly required to be provided in accordance with applicable
law. The limitations of warranties, liability, and remedies apply to the maximum extent
permitted by law. This limited warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also
have other rights which vary from state to state or province to province.
