PRESSURE CONTROL FEATURES
ANTIBLOCK SHIELD
The anti-block shield prevents food particles from coming up
through the steam release pipe, which assists with pressure
regulation.
The anti-block shield is integral to product safety and necessary
for pressure cooking, so it must be installed before use.
SEALING RING
When the multicooker lid is closed, the sealing ring creates
an airtight seal between the lid and the inner pot.
The sealing ring must be installed before use.
Only one sealing ring should be installed in the lid at a time.
Instant Tip: Silicone is porous, so it absorbs strong
aromas and certain flavours. Keep extra sealing rings
on hand to limit the transfer of those aromas and
flavours between dishes.
CAUTION
Always check for cuts, deformation and correct installation before cooking, as sealing
rings stretch over time with normal use. If you notice stretching, deformation, or
damage to your sealing ring, DO NOT use it.
Replace the sealing ring every 12 to 18 months or sooner, and only use authorised
Instant Pot sealing rings.
Failure to follow these instructions may cause food to discharge, which may lead to
personal injury or property damage.
