injury or property damage. Please wash the inside of the lid and the inner pot with warm soapy
water, rinse and dry thoroughly. Wipe the outer housing with a clean damp cloth. Never immerse
the cooker housing in water or any other liquid. The inner pot, sealing ring and steam release

Removing and Installing the Sealing Ring

secon by secon. The sealing ring can be

Please note the following:
 Prior to each use, inspect to make sure the sealing ring is well seated in the sealing ring
rack and the an-block shield is mounted properly on the steam release pipe. A properly
seated sealing ring can be shied, with a bit of eort, clockwise or an-clockwise inside
the sealing ring rack.
 Aer use, remove any foreign objects from the sealing ring and an-block shield.
 Keep the sealing ring clean to avoid odor. Washing the sealing ring in warm soapy water or
dishwasher can remove odor. However, it is normal for the sealing ring to absorb the smell
of certain acidic foods. That's why it is always a good idea to have more than one sealing
ring on hand. You can purchase addional sealing rings from www.InstantPot.com.
 Never pull the sealing ring by force, as the pulling may cause deformaon and aect its
funcon in sealing the pressure.
 A sealing ring with cracks, cuts or other damages should not be used. A new sealing ring
replacement should be used. To avoid leakage, please choose authenc parts from Instant
Pot Company.
