Care, cleaning and storage
Clean your Instant Pot Pro Crisp and its parts after each use. Failure to follow these
cleaning instructions may result in catastrophic failure, which may lead to property
damage and/or 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.
Parts Cleaning methods and instruction

• Broil/dehydrating tray
• Multi-level air fryer basket
• Basket base
• Protective pad and storage cover
Dishwasher safe if placed on the top rack, otherwise clean with a damp
cloth and mild dish soap and rinse well with clear, warm water.

Pressure cooker lid and parts
• Steam release valve
• Steam release cover
• Anti-block shield
• Sealing ring
• Float valve
• Silicone cap
• QuickCool protective cover
• Condensation collector
Dishwasher safe if placed on the top rack.
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.
