IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed:

  1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
  2. Do not touch hot surfaces. Only use side handles for carrying or moving.
  3. 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.
  4. CAUTION Do not use near water or flame. Please keep out of direct sunlight.
  5. CAUTION Extreme caution must be used when moving the appliance containing hot liquids. Do not move the appliance when it is under pressure.
  6. Do not use the appliance for anything other than intended use.
  7. For household use only. Do not use the outdoors. Not for commercial use.
  8. This appliance cooks under pressure. Improper use may result in scalding injury. Make certain the appliance is properly closed before operating. Refer to “Getting Started Guide”.
  9. Do not fill the appliance over 2/3 full. When cooking foods that expand during cooking such as rice or dried vegetables, do not fill the appliance over 1/2 full. Overfilling may cause a risk of clogging the vent pipe and developing excess pressure. Refer to “Getting Started Guide”.
  10. Before each use, check the steam release valve/handle, steam release pipe, anti-block shield, and float valve for clogging. Refer to “Getting Started Guide”.
  11. Do not open the appliance until the appliance has depressurized and all internal pressure has been released. If the float valve is still up and/or the lid is difficult to open, this indicates that the appliance is still pressurized – do not force it open. Any pressure in the appliance can be hazardous. Refer to “Venting Methods” in the “Getting Started Guide” for information on releasing pressure.
  12. Do not use this appliance for deep frying or pressure frying with oil.
  13. Do not lean over or place your hands or face over the steam release valve/handle or float valve when the appliance is in operation or has residual pressure. Do not touch the metal portion of the lid when the appliance is in operation; this could result in injury.
  14. Do not cover or obstruct the steam release valve/handle and float valve with a cloth or other objects. Obstructing the steam release valve/handle and float valve can create a safety issue and may cause injury.
  15. Turn the appliance off if steam escapes from the steam release valve/handle or float valve in a steady stream for longer than 3 minutes. There may be residual pressure in the appliance. Allow the appliance to depressurize naturally or release all excess pressure before opening. Refer to “Troubleshooting” in the User Manual available online.
  16. Turn the appliance off if steam escapes from the sides of the lid and ensure sealing ring is properly installed. Refer to the “Getting Started Guide”.
  17. CAUTION To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse the power cord, plugs, or appliance in water or other liquid.
  18. A short power-supply cord (35 in / 0.9 m) is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from the cord being grabbed by children, becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord.
  19. Always attach plug to the appliance first, then plug the cord into a power source. To disconnect, select Cancel, then remove the plug from the power source.
  20. Unplug the appliance from the outlet when not in use and before cleaning. Allow the appliance to cool before adding or removing parts, and prior to cleaning or storage.
  21. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug. Do not operate if the appliance malfunctions or has sustained damage of any kind, including damage to the rim or bottom of the inner pot. Contact the Customer Care Team.
  22. CAUTION Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of the table or counter or touch hot surfaces.
  23. Intended for countertop use only. Keep the appliance on a stable, heat-resistant platform. Do not place the appliance on anything that may block the vents on the bottom of the appliance. Do not place on hot stove.
  24. WARNING Spilled food can cause serious burns. Keep appliance and cord away from children. Never drape the cord over the edge of the counter, never use outlet below the counter, and never use with an extension cord.
  25. When cooking meat with skin (e.g. sausage with casing), the skin can swell when heated. Do not pierce the skin as long as it is swollen; this could result in scalding injury.
  26. When pressure cooking food with a doughy or thick texture, or a high fat/oil content, contents may splatter when opening the lid. Please follow recipe instructions for the pressure release method. Once steam is fully released, gently shake the appliance with extreme caution and then, if necessary, release the steam again before attempting to open the lid. Refer to the “Venting Methods” in the “Getting Started Guide”.
  27. CAUTION Before inserting the inner pot into the appliance, wipe the outer surface of the inner pot and heating element to ensure they are dry and free of food debris. Refer to “Care & Cleaning”.
  28. Do not attempt to repair, replace, or modify components of the appliance, as this may cause electric shock, fire or injury, and will void the warranty.
  29. Do not tamper with any of the safety mechanisms.
  30. Do not use appliances in electrical systems other than 120V/60Hz for North America. Do not use with power converters or adapters.
  31. This appliance is NOT to be used by children or by persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near children and these individuals. Children should not play with this appliance.
  32. To reduce the risk of pressure leakage, cook only in an authorized Instant Pot® inner pot.
  33. To prevent personal injury and damage to the appliance, only replace the sealing ring with an authorized Instant Pot® sealing ring. Refer to “Getting Started Guide”.
  34. The use of accessory attachments not recommended by the appliance manufacturer may cause injuries.
