The 4 operaons keys include “+”, “-“, “Pressure” and “Adjust” keys. The “+” and “-“ are used to
change the me value.
The "Pressure" key toggles the pressure seng between “High Pressure” and “Low Pressure” for
the pressure cooking funcons which include "Soup", "Bean/Chili", "Poultry", "Meat/Stew",
"Mulgrain", "Porridge", "Steam", “Rice" and “Manual” funcons. The “Pressure” key has no

The most important key is “Keep Warm/Cancel”. When Instant
Pot® is being programmed or in operaon, pressing this key will
cancel the program and return the cooker to standby state.
When the cooker is in standby state, pressing this key acvates
the keep-warm program.
The “Soup” key is for making various soups and broth. You can use
the “Adjust” key to select a shorter or longer cooking me,
depending on the desired cooking result. Instant Pot® controls
the pressure and temperature to a level that the liquid never
goes into a heavy boiling state. For example, when making
chicken broth with the "Soup/Broth" funcon, the broth is clear
and the chicken remains intact aer cooking. If you need the
food content to be fully broken down, please sr and mix the
soup before serving.
The “Meat/Stew” key is for cooking meat and stew. The “Adjust” key can be used to change the
cooking me to achieve the desired meat texture. In general, the "More" seng is for fall-of-
the-bone cooking results.
The “Bean/Chili” key is designed for cooking beans and making Chili. If you want the beans well
cooked, please use the “Adjust” key to select "More" duraon.
