Pressure Cooking
This appliance cooks under pressure. DO NOT open while under
pressure. Allow the appliance to depressurise naturally or release
all excess pressure before opening. Inappropriate use may result
in burns, personal injury and/or property damage.
DO make sure the appliance is properly closed before operating.
DO check that the steam release valve is installed.
DO use the Instant Brands lid when pressure cooking. For
instructions on how to use the lid, see the User Manual or Getting
Started Guide.
DO turn the appliance off if steam escapes from the hot air outlet
in a steady stream for longer than 3 minutes. If steam escapes
from the sides of the lid, turn the appliance off, wait for it to
depressurise/cool and make sure the sealing ring is properly
installed.
DO check the steam release valve, steam release pipe, anti-block
shield and float valve for clogging before use. For instructions on
how to clean these parts, see the User Manual.
DO NOT attempt to force the lid off the Instant Pot cooker base.
DO NOT move the appliance when it is under pressure.
DO NOT cover or obstruct the steam release valve and/or float
valve with cloth or other objects.
DO NOT attempt to open the appliance until it has depressurised,
and all internal pressure has been released. Attempting to open
the appliance while it is still pressurised may lead to sudden
release of hot contents and may cause burns or other personal
injuries and/or property damage.
DO NOT place your face, hands or exposed skin over the hot air
outlet when the appliance is in operation or has residual pressure,
and do not lean over the appliance when removing the lid.
DO NOT open the lid until the message bar says to do so.

Overfill During Pressure Cooking
Overfilling may cause a risk of clogging the steam release pipe
and developing excess pressure.
DO NOT fill the inner cooking pot over the line labeled ‘PC MAX —
2/3’.
DO NOT fill the inner cooking pot over the line labeled ‘— 1/2’
when cooking foods that expand during cooking such as rice,
dried beans or dried vegetables.
DO exercise extreme caution when cooking and venting food(s)
such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal, split peas,
noodles, etc. as these foods may foam, froth, or spatter, and may
clog the steam release pipe, valve, and/or steam release handle.
DO NOT fill the inner pot higher than the “PC MAX- 1/2” line
when cooking these foods. Failure to follow this warning may lead
to personal injury and/or property damage and may void your
warranty.
DO NOT place oversized foods into the inner cooking pot as they
may cause risk of fire and/or personal injury and/or property
damage.
DO check that sealing ring is properly installed.
Air Frying

vents. Keep your hands and face away from the air vents and
take extreme caution when removing hot accessories from the
appliance. Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or
property damage.
DO NOT use the pressure cooking cover when air frying.
DO use the included inner cooking pot when air frying.

Important safeguards
DO NOT place unprotected hands inside the appliance until it has
cooled to room temperature.
DO NOT use a ceramic-coated or stoneware inner pot for air
frying.
DO NOT block the vents on the bottom of the cooker base or on
the lid. Leave at least 13 cm of space around the lid when in use.
DO NOT place the appliance on a hot stove.
DO NOT operate the appliance on or near combustible materials
such as tablecloths and curtains.
DO NOT cover the air vents while air frying. Doing so will prevent
even cooking and may cause damage to the appliance.
DO NOT place the lid directly on countertop. Should the unit
emit black smoke when air frying, press Cancel and unplug the
appliance immediately. Wait for smoking to stop before opening
the lid, then clean thoroughly. For further information refer to
‘Troubleshooting’ in the User Manual.
Overfill During Air Frying
DO NOT overfill the air frying basket when air frying. Only fill air
frying basket as high as the handles, and no higher.
DO NOT allow food to come into contact with the heating element.

Brands. The use of parts, accessories or attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer may cause a risk of personal
injury, property damage, fire and/or electric shock.
DO use only the authorised stainless-steel inner cooking pot for
the Duo Crisp with Ultimate Lid to reduce the risk of pressure
leakage.
DO only replace the pressure cooking cover with an authorised
Instant Brands pressure cooking cover to prevent personal injury
and damage to the appliance.

oven, convection or conventional oven, or on a ceramic cooktop,

storage.
DO NOT store any materials in the cooker base when not in use.
DO NOT place any combustible materials in the cooker base,
such as paper, cardboard, plastic, Styrofoam or wood.
Power Cord

from it being grabbed by children, becoming entangled in, or
tripping over a longer cord. Keep appliance and cord away from
children. Never drape cord over edge of counter, never use outlet
below counter, and never use with an extension cord.
DO NOT let the power cord touch hot surfaces or open flame,
including the stovetop.
DO NOT use with power converters or adapters, timer switches
or separate remote-control systems. This appliance has a 3-prong
earthed plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock: ONLY plug the
power cord into an earthed electrical outlet.

Electrical Warning
The cooker base contains electrical components that are an
electrical shock hazard. Failure to follow these instructions
may result in electric shock. To protect against electrical shock:
disconnect, select Cancel, then remove plug from power source.
Always unplug when not in use, as well as before adding or
removing parts or accessories, and before cleaning. To unplug,
grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the
