Care, cleaning and storage
Clean your Crisp and its parts after each use. Failure to follow these cleaning instructions
may result in catastrophic failure, which may lead to property damage, severe personal
injury and/or death.
Always unplug your cooker 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.

Pressure Cooking Lid
and parts
• Condensation collector
• Anti-block shield
• Sealing ring
• Steam release valve
• Float valve
• Silicone cap
Remove all the parts from the lid before cleaning. See Care, cleaning and storage:
Removing and installing parts.
• With the 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 cooker base.
• Check the condensation collector after each use and empty as needed. Do not
allow food or moisture to stagnate in the condensation collector.
• 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.
Air fryer lid
Clean with a barely-damp cloth and mild dish soap, then use a clean, barely-damp
sponge to remove the soap residue. DO NOT machine wash.
• Wipe it dry with a soft cloth.
• Always check the element cover for oil spatter and food debris and remove it
before turning on the air fryer lid.
• To remove baked-on grease and food residue, spray the element cover with a
mixture of baking soda and vinegar and wipe clean with damp cloth.
• For stubborn stains, allow the mixture to sit on the affected area for several
minutes before scrubbing clean.
• Note: Make sure not to use anything more abrasive than a toothbrush to scrub
the element cover.
• DO NOT remove the element cover.
• DO NOT rinse or immerse the air fryer lid in water or other liquid.
Cooker base
Clean with a barely-damp cloth and mild dish soap, then use a clean, barely-damp
sponge to remove the soap residue. DO NOT machine wash.
• Make sure to clean the inside of the outer pot as well as the condensation rim.
Allow the area to dry completely before inserting the inner pot.
• Clean the stainless-steel exterior and control panel with a soft, barely damp
cloth or sponge.
Power cord Wipe clean with a barely-damp cloth as needed.
Some discoloration may occur after machine washing, but this will not affect the cooker’s safety or performance.
