USING THE LID
You’ll use the pressure cooking lid for most cooking programs, and
especially for pressure cooking. Always use the pressure cooking lid
that came with this Instant Pot Pro cooker base.
How to close and lock the lid
For pressure cooking, the lid must be securely locked into place
to prevent steam from escaping. When you place the lid on the
cooker base:
1. Line up line on the lid with the arrow at the side of the control panel.
2. Turn the lid clockwise until the line on the lid lines up with the line
on the control panel.
If the lid is not closed and locked when you start a cooking program,
the message display will show Turn to Lock Lid and the unit will not
start pressurizing.
How to unlock and open the lid
Once steam is completely released, you must unlock the lid before
opening it:
1. Turn the lid counterclockwise until the line on the lid lines up with
the arrow on the side of the control panel.
2. Carefully lift the lid up and off the cooker base.
When a cooking program is finished and steam has been released, the
steam icon on the display will disappear and the message display will show
END and OK to Open Lid.
