Pressure control features
QuickCool™
For the fastest Natural Release after pressure cooking, use the QuickCool tray*.
What we love about it What you should know about it
It’s a huge timer saver — you can release
pressure naturally up to 50% faster!
The metal portion of the lid gets
extremely hot, so don’t remove the
protective cover unless you’re using
QuickCool.
To use the QuickCool tray, ll it with ice or water and freeze it. Once frozen, remove the
protective cover from the pressure cooking lid and position the QuickCool tray on the
exposed metal of the lid.
When the oat valve drops into the lid, remove the QuickCool tray, discard the water and
open the lid. Use caution when removing the tray as some or all of the ice may have melted.
*QuickCool tray sold separately at instantpot.co.uk/accessories.
CAUTION
The lid will be hot during and after cooking. Do not touch the exposed metal with
bare skin to avoid injury.
Quick release switch
The quick release switch controls the steam release valve — the part that releases pressure.
What we love about it What you should know about it
It’s super easy to use, and keeps our
hands far away from the steam when the
multicooker is releasing pressure!
It automatically sets to Seal when you
close the lid, so make sure you move it to
Vent when you’re not pressure cooking.
Pressure control features
See Releasing pressure: Venting methods for safe depressurisation techniques.
Steam release assembly
The steam release assembly must be fully installed before use.
What we love about it What you should know about it
When the valve is venting,
the steam release cover
disperses the steam, so the
quick release of pressure is
soft and gentle.
When releasing pressure, steam travels up from the
inner pot, through the steam release pipe and out from
the top of the steam release valve — so it’s important to
keep the area clean and clear.
The steam release valve sits loosely on the steam
release pipe.
WARNING
Do not cover or block the steam release assembly in any way to avoid injury
and/or property damage.
