Pressure control features
Pressurized
The oat valve has visibly popped
up above the surface of the lid.
Depressurized
The oat valve has descended,
and the top is ush with the lid or below.
Float valve
The oat valve lets you know when there is pressure in the multicooker (pressurized) or not
(depressurized). It appears in 2 positions:
The oat valve and silicone cap work together to seal in pressurized steam. These parts
must be installed before use. Do not attempt to operate the Instant Pot without the oat
valve properly installed. Do not touch the float valve during use.
DANGER
DO NOT attempt to remove the lid while the oat valve is up and NEVER
attempt to force the lid open. Contents are under extreme pressure. Float
valve must be down before attempting to remove the lid. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.
NOTICE
The oat valve should not rise during Slow Cook. If the oat valve rises, move the
quick release switch to Vent.
