Your Instant Pot does not have a “Start” key. Aer a funcon is selected, the cooker automacally
starts in 10 seconds if no key is pressed.
The most important key is “Keep Warm/Cancel”. When Instant Pot is
being programmed or any program is in eect, press this key will
cancel the program and take the cooker to standby state. When the
cooker is in standby state, pressing this key acvates the “Keep-
Warm” program. You can use “Adjust” key to select the mode of
dierent temperatures: Less (~56°C/133°F), Normal (~63°C/145°F),
and More (75°C/145°F).

sr and mix the soup before serving.

the “Porridge” program is nished, do NOT put steam release handle in venng posion;
otherwise the porridge will splaer through the steam release. Please use Natural Release.
The “Poultry” key is programmed to make poultry dishes. You may use the "Adjust" key to change
the poultry cooking me from "Normal" to "More" or "Less" depending on your preference of
the texture and the amount of poultry you put into the pot. Poultry meat is generally easier to
cook than pork, lamb and beef. Hence the poultry cooking me is adjusted within a shorter
