Overview of Pressure Control Features
Sealing Ring
When the pressure cooking lid is closed, the sealing
ring installed on the underside of the lid creates an
air-tight seal between the lid and the cooker base.
The sealing ring must be installed before using
the cooker and should be cleaned after each use.
Only 1 sealing ring should be installed in the lid when
using the cooker. Use one for sweet dishes and one
for savory.
Sealing rings stretch over time with normal use. As
an integral part of product safety, the sealing ring
should be replaced every 12–18 months or sooner if
stretching, deformation, or damage is noticed.
Remove the Sealing Ring
Grip the edge of the silicone and pull the sealing ring
out from behind the circular stainless steel sealing
ring rack.
With the sealing ring removed, inspect the rack to
ensure it is secured, centered, and an even height
all the way around the lid. Do not attempt to repair a
deformed sealing ring rack.
Install the Sealing Ring
Place the sealing ring over the sealing ring rack and
press it into place. Press down rmly to alleviate
puckering.
When installed properly, the sealing ring is snug
behind sealing ring rack and should not fall out when
the lid is turned over.
Instant Tip: Silicone is porous, so it may absorb strong aromas and certain
avors. Keep extra sealing rings on hand to limit the transfer of those aromas
and avors between dishes. Visit
our store to color code your cooking.
CAUTION
Always check for cuts, deformation, and correct installation of the sealing ring prior to
cooking. Do not use a stretched or damaged sealing ring. Only use authorized
Instant Pot sealing rings. Failure to follow these instructions may cause food to discharge, which may
lead to personal injury or property damage.
