WARNING
Read this manual carefully and completely and retain for future reference. Failure
to adhere to safety instructions may result in serious injury or damage.
11 This appliance cooks under pressure. Any pressure in
the appliance can be hazardous. Allow the appliance to depressurize
naturally or release all excess pressure before opening. Inappropriate
use may result in burns, injury and/or property damage. See Releasing
pressure for safe venting techniques.
• Make sure the appliance is properly closed before operating. Refer to
Pressure control features: pressure cooking lid;
• DO NOT cover or obstruct the steam release valve and/or oat 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 or other injuries;
• DO NOT place your face, hands or exposed skin over the steam
release valve or oat valve when the appliance is in operation or has
residual pressure;
• DO NOT lean over the appliance when removing the lids, as heat and
steam escape when the lid is removed;
• Turn the appliance off if steam escapes from the steam release valve
and/or oat valve in a steady stream for longer than 3 minutes during
Pre-heating or Cooking;
• If steam escapes from the sides of the pressure cooking lid, turn the
appliance off and make sure the sealing ring is properly installed. See
Pressure control features: sealing ring;
• DO NOT attempt to force the pressure cooking lid off the Instant Pot
multicooker base.
12 When pressure cooking food with a doughy or thick texture, or a high
fat/oil content, contents may splatter when opening the pressure
cooking lid. Follow recipe instructions for safe pressure release method.
See Releasing pressure.
13 When cooking meat with skin (e.g. sausage with casing), the skin can
swell when heated. Do not pierce the skin while it is swollen; this could
result in scalding injury.
