Care, cleaning and storage
Clean your Instant Pot® 6qt 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 let it 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.
Let all surfaces dry thoroughly before use, and before storage.

Accessories

Removing and installing parts.
• With steam release valve and anti-block shield removed, clean the interior
of the steam release pipe to prevent clogging.
• To drain water from the lid after dishwashing, grasp the lid handle and hold the
lid vertically over a sink, then turn it 360°— such as 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 odor of
avorful meals. To eliminate odors, add 1 cup (~8 oz / 250 mL) water and 1 cup
(~8 oz / 250 mL) white vinegar to inner pot, and run Pressure Cook for 5–10
minutes, then QR pressure.
• Check the condensation collector after each use and empty as needed.
Do not allow food or moisture to stagnate in the condensation collector.
Inner pot
Dishwasher safe.
• More acute 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 cord
Hand wash only. Do not machine wash.
• Use a barely damp cloth to wipe any particles off the cord.
6 Quart power cord is detachable for storage.
Multicooker base
Hand wash only. Do not machine wash.
• 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 cooker base and control panel with a soft, barely damp cloth or sponge.
Some discoloration may occur after machine washing, but this will not affect the cooker’s safety or performance.
