Pressure control features
Float Valve
The oat valve is a visual indication of whether there is pressure in the cooker
(pressurized) or not (depressurized). It appears in 2 positions:
Pressurized
The oat valve has visibly popped up
above the surface of the lid.
Depressurized
The oat valve has descended, and the
top is ush with the lid.
The oat valve and silicone cap work together to seal in pressurized steam. These parts
must be installed before use. Do not attempt to operate the Instant Pot without the oat
valve properly installed. Do not touch the oat valve during use.
DANGER
DO NOT attempt to remove the lid while the oat valve is up and NEVER
attempt to force the lid open. Contents are under extreme pressure. Float
valve must be down before attempting to remove the lid. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.
Anti-block shield
The anti-block shield prevents food
particles from coming up through the
steam release pipe, assisting with pressure
regulation.
The anti-block shield is integral to product
safety and necessary for pressure cooking.
