Instant Pot Max Series User Manual

Depressurized
The float valve and silicone cap are essential to
pressure cooking, as they seal in the
pressurized steam.
The float valve has 2 positions:
Down: cooker is depressurized
Up: cooker is pressurized
While the float valve is up, the
contents of the cooker are pressurized. Do not
attempt to remove the lid. Refer to “Venting
Methods” section in this manual for information
on releasing pressure.
To test: Hold the lid by the handle and reach
underneath to test the float valve’s movement.
It will have a ¼ inch (½ cm) range of
up-and-down motion.
To remove: Place one finger on the flat top of
the float valve, turn over the lid and detach the
silicone cap from the bottom side of the float
valve. Do not discard the silicone cap!
Once disconnected, the float valve can be
removed from the top of the lid.
To install: Drop the float valve into the float
valve hole on top of the lid. Then, place one
finger on the flat top of the float valve, turn the
lid over, and press the silicone cap back into
place on the bottom of the float valve.
Note: Regular removal and cleaning of the float valve
and surrounding area is essential to ensure proper
function of your Instant Pot
