Care, cleaning and storage
Clean your Instant Pot Pro and its parts after each use. Failure to follow these cleaning
instructions may result in catastrophic failure, which may lead to property damage, severe
personal injury.
Always unplug your multicooker and let it cool to room temperature before cleaning.
Never use metal scouring pads, abrasive powders or harsh chemical detergents on any
of the Instant Pot’s parts or accessories.
Let all surfaces dry thoroughly before use, and before storage.

Remove all the parts from the lid before cleaning. See Care, cleaning and storage:
Removing and installing parts.
• With the steam release valve and anti-block shield removed, clean the interior of
the steam release pipe with a pipe cleaner to prevent clogging.
• To drain water from the lid after dishwashing, grasp the lid handle and hold the
lid vertically over a sink, then turn it 360°— like turning a steering wheel.
• After cleaning and draining, store the lid upside down on the multicooker base
to allow it to air dry completely.
• Store sealing rings in a well-ventilated area to decrease residual odor of avorful
meals. To eliminate odors, add 1 cup (250 mL / ~8 oz) water and 1 cup
(250 mL / ~8 oz) white vinegar to the inner pot, then run Pressure Cook for
5 to 10 minutes and QR pressure.
• Check the condensation collector after each use and empty and clean it as
needed. Do not allow food or moisture to sit in the condensation collector,
as harmful bacteria may result.
Inner pot
Dishwasher safe.
• Acute hard water staining (rainbow, bluish or white discoloration) may require
scrubbing with a sponge dampened with vinegar or a nonabrasive cleanser like
Bar Keeper’s Friend.
• For tough or burned food residue, add boiling water and dish soap to the inner
pot and let it sit for a few hours for easy cleaning.
• Make sure all exterior surfaces are dry before placing the inner pot in the
multicooker base.
Power cord
Wipe only.
• Use a barely damp cloth to remove particles from the cord.
• Wrap it around the multicooker base and tuck the end into the cord holder.
Multicooker base
Wipe only.
• Wipe the inside of the outer pot as well as the condensation rim with a barely
damp cloth. Allow them to dry completely before inserting the inner pot.
• Clean the multicooker base and control panel with a soft, barely damp cloth
or sponge.
Some discoloration may occur after machine washing, but this will not affect the multicooker’s safety or performance.
