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.
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 rubber 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 ensure there is no 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.
