DO turn the appliance off if steam escapes from the hot air outlet in
a steady stream for longer than 3 minutes. If steam escapes from the
sides of the lid, turn the appliance off. Once steam stops, pressure is
released, and the cooker has cooled carefully make sure the sealing
ring is properly installed.
DO check the steam release valve, steam release pipe, anti-block
shield and float valve for clogging before use. For instructions on
how to clean these parts, see the User Manual.
DO NOT attempt to force the lid off the Instant Pot cooker base.
DO NOT move the appliance when it is under pressure.
DO NOT cover or obstruct the steam release valve and/or float valve
with cloth or other objects.
DO NOT attempt to open the appliance until it has depressurised,
and all internal pressure has been released. Attempting to open the
appliance while it is still pressurised may lead to sudden release of
hot contents and may cause burns, personal injury, and/or property
damage.
DO NOT place your face, hands or exposed skin over the hot air outlet
when the appliance is in operation or has residual pressure, and do not
lean over the appliance when removing the lid.
Overfill During Pressure Cooking
Overfilling may cause a risk of clogging the steam release pipe and
developing excess pressure.
DO NOT fill the inner cooking pot over the line labeled 'PC MAX — 2/3'.
DO NOT fill the inner cooking pot over the line labeled '— 1/2' when
cooking foods that expand during cooking such as rice, dried beans
or dried vegetables.
