Initial set up (It won't bite!)
You — yes, you — can do this!
“Once you have mastered a technique, you barely have to look at a recipe again!”
– Julia Child
01 Pull that Duo Plus out of the box!
02 Remove the packaging material and accessories from in and around the multicooker.
Make sure to check under the inner pot!
03 Wash the inner pot in a dishwasher or with hot water and dish soap. Rinse it well with
warm, clear water and use a soft cloth to thoroughly dry the outside of the inner pot.
04 Wipe the heating element with a soft, dry cloth to make sure there are no stray
packaging particles left in the multicooker base.
Don’t remove the safety warning stickers from the lid or the rating label from the back
of the multicooker base.
05 You may be tempted to put the Instant Pot on your stovetop — but don’t do it!
Place the multicooker base on a stable, level surface, away from combustible material
and external heat sources.

Get started
Initial test run (water test)
Do you have to do the water test? No — but getting to know the ins and outs of your Duo Plus
prepares you for success in the kitchen! Take a few minutes to get to know how this baby works.
Stage 1: Setting up the Duo Plus for
pressure cooking
01 Remove the inner pot from the multicooker
base and add 3 cups (750 mL / ~25 oz)
of water to the inner pot. Insert it back
into the multicooker base.
02 6 Quart only: Secure the power cord
to the base power socket on the back
of the multicooker base. Make sure the
connection is tight.
All sizes: Connect the power cord to a
120 V power source.
The display shows OFF.
03 Place and close the lid as described
in Pressure control features: Pressure
cooking lid.
Stage 2: "Cooking" (...but not really, this is
just a test!)
01 Select Pressure Cook.
02 Use the − / + Time buttons to adjust
the cooking time to 5 minutes (00:05).
Adjustments are saved when a Smart
Program starts, so the next time you
use Pressure Cook, it will default to
5 minutes.
03 Press Keep Warm to turn the
automatic Keep Warm setting off.
04 Press Start to begin. The display
shows On.
While the multicooker does its thing,
read Pressure cooking 101 on
the next page to nd out how
the magic happens.
05 When the Smart Program nishes,
the display shows End.
Stage 3: Releasing pressure
01 Follow instructions for a Quick Release in
Releasing pressure: Venting methods.
02 Wait for the oat valve to drop,
then carefully open and remove the
lid as described in Pressure control
features: Pressure cooking lid.
03 Using proper hand protection, remove
the inner pot from the multicooker
base, discard the water and thoroughly
dry the inner pot.
That's it! You're good to go :)
CAUTION
Pressurized steam releases through the top of the steam release valve. Keep
exposed skin away from the steam release valve to avoid injury.
CAUTION
The inner pot will be hot after cooking. Always use appropriate heat protection when
handling a hot inner pot to avoid injury.
DANGER
DO NOT attempt to remove the lid while the oat valve is up and NEVER
attempt to force the lid open. Contents are under extreme pressure. Float
valve must be down before attempting to remove the lid. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.

14 | [email protected] | 1-800-828-7280
Pressure cooking 101
Pressure cooking uses steam to raise the boiling point of water above 100ºC / 212ºF.
These high temperatures allow you to cook some foods way faster than normal.
Behind the magic curtain
When pressure cooking, the Instant Pot goes through 3 stages.
Pre-heating
What you see What you don’t see Tips
The display shows On.
While the multicooker pre-heats,
it vaporizes liquid to create steam.
Once enough steam has built up,
the oat valve pops up and locks
the lid in place.
The time it takes the multicooker to
pressurize depends on things like food
and liquid temperature and volume.
Frozen foods have the longest pre-
heating time. For the fastest results,
thaw your food before cooking it.
No need to hang around during this
stage — trust that IP magic!
Cooking
What you see What you don’t see Tips
The oat valve bobs
up and down from
all the steam, then
pops up and seals
the multicooker.
The display switches
to the cooking
countdown timer.
When the multicooker reaches
the required pressure level,
cooking begins.
The Instant Pot automatically
maintains High or Low pressure
throughout cooking.
A higher pressure means a higher
temperature.
Smart Program settings (e.g., cooking
time, pressure level, etc.) can be
adjusted at any time during cooking.
Releasing pressure
What you see What you don’t see Tips
If Keep Warm is on
after cooking, the
timer counts up from
00:00.
If not, the multicooker
goes back to standby
and the display shows
End.
The oat valve is still
popped up.
Although food has nished
cooking, the multicooker is still
pressurized and hot, which is why
the oat valve is up.
Releasing pressure lowers
the temperature inside the
multicooker, which allows you to
safely remove the lid once the oat
valve drops.
See Releasing pressure for information
on safe venting techniques and what
they’re used for.
Follow your recipe instructions to
choose the best venting method for
your meal.
The Instant Pot cools faster
if Keep Warm is turned off.

instantpot.com | 15
Releasing pressure
You must release pressure after pressure
cooking before attempting to open the lid.
Follow your recipe’s instructions to choose a
venting method, and always wait until the oat
valve drops into the lid before opening.
WARNING
Steam ejected from the steam release valve is hot.
DO NOT place hands, face, or any exposed skin over
the steam release valve when releasing pressure to
avoid risk of injury.
DO NOT cover the
steam release valve to
avoid risk of injury and/
or property damage.
DANGER
DO NOT attempt to remove the lid while the oat valve is up and NEVER
attempt to force the lid open. Contents are under extreme pressure. Float
valve must be down before attempting to remove the lid. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.
Venting methods
• Natural Release (NR or NPR)
• Quick Release (QR or QPR)
• Timed Natural Release
Natural Release (NR or NPR)
Cooking stops gradually. As the temperature within the multicooker drops, the Instant Pot
depressurizes naturally over time.
What to do What to expect
After cooking nishes, leave the quick release
switch in the Seal position until the oat valve
drops into the lid.
Seal position
Your meal continues to cook even after the Smart Program ends.
This is called “carryover cooking” or “resting”, and it’s
great for large cuts of meat.
The depressurization time may vary based upon the volume,
type and temperature of food and liquid. It can take up to
40 minutes with some dishes, so plan ahead — it’s well worth
the wait!
When pressure has been fully released, the oat valve drops
into the lid.
NOTICE
Use NR to depressurize the multicooker after cooking high-starch foods
(e.g., soups, stews, chilis, pasta, oatmeal and congee) or after cooking foods
that expand when cooked (e.g., beans and grains).
Pressurized Depressurized

16 | [email protected] | 1-800-828-7280
Releasing pressure
Quick Release (QR or QPR)
Stops cooking quickly and prevents overcooking. Perfect for quick-cooking vegetables
and delicate seafood!
What to do What to expect
Move the quick release switch from Seal to Vent and
wait until the oat valve drops into the lid.
Seal position Vent position
A jet of steam ejects through the top of the steam
release valve.
This is normal!
When pressure has been fully released, the oat valve
drops into the lid.
If you see a lot of spatter while releasing pressure, move the quick release switch back
from Vent to Seal, and wait a few minutes before trying to release pressure again. If
spatter continues, use NR to safely release the remaining pressure.
NOTICE
Do not use QR when cooking fatty, oily, thick or high-starch foods (e.g., stews,
chilis, pasta and congee) or when cooking foods that expand when cooked
(e.g., beans and grains).
CAUTION
Steam ejected from the steam release valve is hot. DO NOT place hands, face,
or any exposed skin over the steam release valve when releasing pressure to
avoid injury.
Timed natural release
The carryover cooking continues for a specic amount of time, then stops quickly when
you release the remaining pressure. Perfect for nishing rice and grains.
What to do What to expect
Leave the quick release switch in the Seal
position for a few minutes (according to your
recipe) then move it from Seal to Vent and
wait until the oat valve drops into the lid.
A jet of steam ejects through the top of the
steam release valve.
The temperature within the multicooker
drops, so the steam release may not be
as powerful as a normal QR.
When pressure has been fully released, the
oat valve drops into the lid.
