Getting Started

Read Manual & Place Cooker

Place the cooker on a stable surface.

getting_started_instant_pot_cos9735_pressure_cooker_duo_sv.png

CAUTION: Do not place the appliance on or in close proximity to a hot gas or electric burner, or a heated oven; heat from an external source will damage the appliance.

Open & Close Lid

If the sound is on, the cooker will jingle when the lid is opened and closed.

Open: Grip the handle and turn the lid counter-clockwise until the symbol on the lid is aligned with the symbol on the rim of the cooker base. Lift the lid up and off the cooker base.
Close: Grip the handle and align the symbol on the lid with the symbol on the rim of the cooker base. Turn the lid clockwise until the symbol on the lid lines up with the symbol on the base.
Note: Always check the lid for damage prior to cooking.

Remove & Clean Inner Pot

Remove the inner pot from the cooker base and wash it with hot water and dish soap before first use. Wipe the outer surfaces of the inner pot and heating element to ensure they are dry and free of food debris. Failure to do so may damage the cooker.
Place the inner pot into the cooker base before cooking. Food must be placed in the inner pot, not the cooker base.
The inner pot is an integral part of product safety. Always use an authorized Instant Pot inner pot when cooking. Failure to do so may cause personal injury or property damage.

Note: Always check the inner pot for dents or deformations prior to cooking.

CAUTION

To avoid the risk of personal injury and/or property damage, do not pour food or liquid into the cooker base.

WARNING

Do not fill the inner pot higher than the “PC MAX — 2/3” line (Pressure Cooking Maximum), as indicated on the inner pot. Exercise extreme caution when cooking and venting food such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal, split peas, noodles, etc., as these foods may foam, froth, or spatter, and may clog the steam release pipe and/or steam release handle. Do not fill the inner pot higher than the “— 1/2” line when cooking these foods.

Check Sealing Ring & Sealing Ring Rack

Remove: Pull the sealing ring out from behind the sealing ring rack. Inspect the sealing ring rack. It should be centered in the lid and an even height all the way around. Do not attempt to repair a deformed ring rack.
The sealing ring must be installed before use.
Install: Place the sealing ring over the sealing ring rack and press it into place. Ensure the sealing ring is snug behind the sealing ring rack.
After closing the lid, the sealing ring creates an airtight seal between the lid and cooker base.
The sealing ring is an integral part of product safety. Replace your sealing ring every 12-18 months or when deformation or damage is noticed.
CAUTION: Always check for cuts or deformations in the sealing ring prior to cooking. Only use authorized Instant Pot sealing rings. Failure to follow these instructions may cause food to discharge, which may lead to personal injury or property damage.

Remove & Install Float Valve

The float valve has 2 positions. It pops up to indicate when the cooker is pressurized, and lowers into the lid when the cooker is depressurized.
Remove: Place one finger on the flat top of the float valve. Turn the lid over. Detach the silicone cap from the bottom side of the float valve. Remove the float valve from the top of the lid. Do not discard the float valve or silicone cap.
The float valve and silicone cap must be installed before use to seal in pressurized steam.
Install: Drop the float valve into the float valve hole on top of the lid. Place one finger on the flat top of the float valve. Turn the lid over. Attach the silicone cap to the bottom of the float valve.
CAUTION: While the float valve is up, the contents of the cooker are pressurized. Do not attempt to remove the lid. Refer to the “Venting Methods” section in this manual for information on releasing pressure.

INSTANT TIP: Color Coding Your Sealing Rings. Silicone rubber may hold on to strong aromas. To reduce aroma transfer, try using different sealing rings for your various dishes! Instant Pot sealing rings come in a variety of colors. See the website for details.

Remove & Install Anti-Block Shield

Remove: Grip the lid and press firmly against the side of the anti-block shield (pressing towards the side of the lid and up) until it pops off the prongs underneath.
The anti-block shield must be installed before use and cleaned frequently.
Install: Place the anti-block shield over the prongs and press down until it snaps into position.
The anti-block shield prevents food particles from coming up through the steam release pipe, assisting with pressure regulation.

Remove & Install Steam Release Handle

Remove: Pull the steam release handle up and off the steam release pipe.
The steam release handle must be installed before use and cleaned frequently.
Install: Place the steam release handle on the steam release pipe. Press down. It fits loosely when installed properly, but will remain in place when the lid is turned over.

Install Condensation Collector

Install: On the back of the cooker base, align the grooves on the condensation collector over the tabs and push the condensation collector into place.
The condensation collector accumulates excess water and should be installed before cooking. It must be emptied after use.
Remove: Pull the condensation collector away from the cooker base. Do not pull down on the condensation collector.

Secure Power Cord

Venting Methods

There are 2 methods to release pressure:
Natural Release (NR)
Leave the steam release handle in the “Sealing” position. The cooker dissipates heat so pressure releases naturally over time.
This method must be used when cooking food such as soups, stews, or chilis, as well as food that expands, such as beans and grains.

Note: Depressurization time will vary based upon the volume of food and liquid. It may take 10-40 minutes, or longer.

Quick Release (QR)
Turn the steam release handle from the “Sealing” position to the “Venting” position.
If spatter occurs, turn the steam release handle back to the “Sealing” position, and try again after a few minutes. If spatter continues, use NR to vent the remaining pressure.
