How to close the lid of my Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker?

If you're having difficulty closing the lid, make sure the sealing ring is properly installed and snug behind the sealing ring rack. Also, check if the float valve is in the popped-up position; if it is, gently press it downward with a long utensil. If the contents in the cooker are still hot, move the quick release switch into the Vent position, then lower the lid onto the cooker base slowly, allowing heat to dissipate.
