6. Posion the pressure release handle properly
Please note that it is perfectly normal and necessary
for the pressure release handle to be loose. It works by
weight and simply rests on top of the pressure release
outlet. It can also be removed for washing if necessary
by pulling it straight out.
When running any of the programs except "Keep-
Warm", "Sauté" or "Slow Cook", align the pointed end
of the pressure release handle to "Sealing" posion,
indicang that the pressure cooker is in the sealed
posion.
The "Sauté" funcon must be used without the lid. The
"Slow Cook" and “Keep-Warm” funcons can operate
with or without the lid, or use an oponal glass lid available at www.InstantPot.com.
Cauon: When the lid is closed while iniang the “Keep Warm” or “Slow Cook” program,
the pressure release valve must be in the ‘Venng’ posion.
The control panel of your Instant Pot® consists of an LED display, 2 pressure indicators, 3 mode
indicators, 4 operaon keys and 14 funcon keys. Each funcon key has a funcon indicator light.
Operaon keys do not have indicator lights.
