Maintenance & Warranty guide before use. Failure to do
so may result in property damage and/or personal injury.
• Use the Duo Crisp pressure cooker lid or the Duo Crisp
air fryer lid with the Duo Crisp cooker base. Using any
other lids may cause injury and/or damage.
• Remove all packaging material from in and around the
appliance and verify that all parts are accounted for.
• Place the cooker base on a stable, level surface, away from
externalheat sources.
• Follow “Care, Cleaning & Storage” instructions in the included
Safety, Maintenance & Warranty guide to wash the appliance before cooking.
• Do not remove safety warning stickers from lids, nor the serial number or rating
label from the cooker base.
Note: The cooker comes with two power leads. Always use the appropriate power lead for your outlet.
CAUTION
Never use the cooker on a hob. Do not place appliance on or in close proximity to a
hot gas or electric burner, or a heated oven; heat from an external source will damage

Note: Always check the inner pot for dents
or deformations prior to cooking. If inner
pot is dented or deformed, stop using the
cooker. Visit instantpot.co.uk/support.
CAUTION
The inner pot is an integral part of product safety. Always use an authorised stainless
steel Instant Pot inner pot made for this model when cooking. Failure to do so may
cause personal injury or property damage. To avoid risk of personal injury and/or property damage,
do not pour food or liquid into cooker base.
WARNING

When closing the lid, the quick release button will
automatically reset to the popped up “Seal” position.

Venting Methods
Natural Release (NR)
Leave the steam release in the “Seal” position. The cooker dissipates
heat so pressure releases naturally over time.
This method must be used when cooking food such as soups, stews
or chilis, as well as food that expands, such as beans and grains.
Note: Depressurisation time varies based upon volume of food
and liquid. May take 10-40 minutes, or longer.
Quick Release (QR)
Vent: Press quick release button down until it clicks.
When depressed, a continuous stream of steam is released
through the steam release valve until the oat valve drops into the lid.
Note: It will be loud!
If spatter occurs, turn quick release button to reset it to the “Seal” position, and try again after
a few minutes. If spatter continues, use NR to vent remaining pressure.
WARNING
Do not lean
over the steam
release valve.
Do not place unprotected
skin over the steam
release assembly.
Do not cover
the steam
release valve.
The oat valve drops when the cooker has
depressurised. Do not attempt to open the
lid while the oat valve is still popped up.
Failure to follow these instructions may lead to injury or damage.
