Please note that it is perfectly normal and
necessary for the pressure release handle

rests on top of the pressure release outlet.
It can also be removed for washing if
necessary by pulling it straight out.

"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

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” programs,
the pressure release valve must be in the ‘Venng’ posion.
