WARNING
Read this manual carefully and completely and retain for future reference. Failure
to adhere to safety instructions may result in serious injury or damage.
11 This appliance cooks under pressure. Any pressure in
the appliance can be hazardous. Allow the appliance to depressurise
naturally or release all excess pressure before opening. Inappropriate
use may result in burns, injury and/or property damage. See Releasing
pressure for safe venting techniques.
• Make sure the appliance is properly closed before operating. Refer to
Pressure control features: Pressure cooking lid;
• DO NOT cover or obstruct the steam release valve and/or oat valve
with cloths 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 injuries;
• DO NOT place your face, hands or exposed skin over the steam
release valve or oat valve when the appliance is in operation or
contains residual pressure;
• DO NOT lean over the appliance when removing the lids, as heat and

Initial set up
You — yes, you — can do this! (It won’t bite!)
“The only real stumbling block is fear of failure. In cooking
you’ve got to have a what-the-hell attitude.” — Julia Child
01 Take that Instant Pot Pro Crisp out of the box. (If you haven't already!)
02 Remove the packaging material and accessories from in and around the multicooker
and make sure all the parts are accounted for. See Product, parts and accessories for
a full parts breakdown.
Make sure you check under the inner pot!
03 Wash the inner pot in a dishwasher or with hot water and washing up liquid. 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 (unless specied on the sticker!)
or the identication label from the back of the multicooker base.
05 You may be tempted to put the Pro Crisp on your hob — but don’t do it! Place the
multicooker base on a stable, level surface, away from combustible material and
external heat sources.
Is anything missing or damaged?
Get in touch with a Customer Care Advisor by email at suppor[email protected] or by

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 new
Pro Crisp prepares you for success in the kitchen! Take a few minutes to get to know how
this baby works.
Stage 1: Setting up the Pro Crisp for
pressure cooking
01 Remove the inner pot from the
multicooker base and add
750 mL (3 cups) of water to the inner
pot, then place it back into the base.
02 Connect the power lead to a
220-240V power source.
The display shows OFF.
03 Place and close the pressure cooking
lid as described in Pressure control
features: pressure cooking lid.
The lid automatically seals for pressure
cooking.
Stage 2: “Cooking” (…but not really, this
is just a test!)
01 Select Pressure Cook.
02 Turn the dial to adjust the cooking
time to 5 minutes (00:05).
Press the dial to conrm the change,
and go to the next eld.
Leave the pressure level at High.
Customisations made to the cooking
time, temperature and pressure level
are saved to the Smart Programme
when cooking begins.
03 Press Start to begin.
The display shows On and the
cooking progress bar shows
Pre-heating.
While the multicooker does its thing,
read Pressure cooking 101 to nd
out how the magic happens.
04 When the Smart Programme has
nished, the multicooker begins
Keep Warm.
Press Cancel to end Keep Warm and
go back to standby.
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 :)
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
Pro-Crisp-UK-ENG-GSG-2021-03-23.indd 13Pro-Crisp-UK-ENG-GSG-2021-03-23.indd 13 3/23/21 1:42 PM3/23/21 1:42 PM

Pressure cooking 101
Pressure cooking uses steam to raise the boiling point of water above 100ºC / 212°F.
These high temperatures allow you to cook food much faster than normal.
(Behind the magic curtain)
When pressure cooking, the Instant Pot Pro Crisp goes through 3 stages.
Pre-heating
What you see What you don’t see Tips
The cooking progress bar
shows Pre-heating.
The display
shows On.
While the multicooker
preheats, it vaporises 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 pressurise
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 cooking progress bar
moves over to Cooking.
The display switches to the
cooking countdown timer.
When the Instant Pot reaches the
required pressure level, cooking begins.
It automatically maintains the cooking
pressure at High or Low pressure
throughout cooking.
A higher pressure means a higher
temperature.
Smart Programme settings (e.g.,
cooking time, pressure level, etc.)
can be adjusted at any time during
cooking.
Depressurisation
What you see What you don’t see Tips
If Keep Warm is on after
cooking, the cooking progress
bar moves over to Keep Warm
and the timer counts up from
00:00.
If not, the multicooker returns
to standby and displays End.
Although food has nished
cooking, the pressure cooker
is still pressurised and hot.
Venting the pressure lowers the
temperature and allows you to
safely remove the lid.
Follow your recipe instructions when
choosing a venting method.
See Releasing pressure: Venting methods on
the next page for information on safe venting
techniques.
Instant Tip: The Instant Pot cools faster
if Keep Warm is turned off!
Pro-Crisp-UK-ENG-GSG-2021-03-23.indd 14Pro-Crisp-UK-ENG-GSG-2021-03-23.indd 14 3/23/21 1:42 PM3/23/21 1:42 PM

Instantpot.co.uk | 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.
CAUTION
Pressurised steam is released through
the top of the steam release valve.
Keep exposed skin away from
the steam release valve to avoid
burn injuries.
The inner pot will be hot after cooking.
Always use appropriate hand protection
when handling a hot inner pot to avoid
burn injuries.
WARNING
Steam ejected from the steam release
valve is hot. DO NOT place hands, face
or any exposed skin over the steam
release assembly when releasing
pressure to avoid injury.
Do not cover or obstruct the steam
release valve or cover to avoid 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.

Releasing pressure
Venting methods
Natural Release (NR or NPR)
Cooking stops gradually. As the temperature within the multicooker drops, the Instant Pot
Pro Crisp depressurises naturally over time.
What to do What to expect
After cooking has nished, 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 Programme ends.
Instant Tip: This is called “carryover cooking” or “resting” and
it’s great for large cuts of meat.
The depressurisation time may vary based on the volume, type
and temperature of food and liquid. Unless you use QuickCool™
technology, NR can take up to 40 minutes with some dishes, so plan
ahead — it’s well worth the wait!
See QuickCool to nd out how to naturally release pressure faster
than ever before!
NOTICE
Use NR to depressurise the multicooker after cooking high-starch foods
(like soups, stews, chillis, pasta, oatmeal and congee) or after cooking foods
that expand when cooked (like beans and grains).
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.
Vent position
When the steam release cover is installed properly,
you’ll hear a mufed hiss as steam hits the cover
and disperses.
If the cover is not installed properly, a loud jet of steam
will be ejected through the top of the steam release
valve.
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).
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.

Pressure cooking lid
What we love about it What you should know about it
When you close the lid (over the handles on the new
inner pot!), it automatically sets to Seal for seriously
easy pressure cooking.
The lid handle is comfortable to use whether
you’re left or right-handed, and, stands up in the
multicooker base!
When it’s plugged in, the Pro Crisp plays a little jingle
when you open and close the lid :)
The lid is removable during non-pressure cooking so
you can taste-test as you go.
When pressure cooking, the lid only locks into place
once the multicooker has pressurised. Try not to remove
the lid unnecessarily!
Removing the lid
01 Grip the lid handle and turn it anti-
clockwise to align the symbol on the
lid with the symbol on the rim of the
multicooker base .
02 Lift the lid up and off the multicooker
base towards your body.
See Releasing pressure: Venting methods
for safe depressurisation techniques.
Closing the lid
01 Align the symbol on the lid with the
symbol on the multicooker base ,
then lower the lid onto the track.
02 Turn the lid clockwise until the symbol
on the lid aligns with the middle of
the control panel.
