6. Posion 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" posion,
indicang that the pressure cooker is in the sealed
posion.
The "Sauté" funcon must be used without the lid. The
"Slow Cook" and “Keep-Warm” funcons can operate
with or without the lid, or use an oponal glass lid available at www.InstantPot.com.
Cauon: When the lid is closed while iniang the “Keep Warm” or “Slow Cook” program,
the pressure release valve must be in the ‘Venng’ posion.
