Instant tip: While the multicooker does
its thing, read Pressure cooking 101 to
find out how the magic happens.

instantpot.com.au | 13
DANGER
DO NOT attempt to remove the lid while the float 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.
CAUTION
Pressurised steam releases through the top of the steam release valve. Keep exposed
skin away from the steam release valve to avoid burn injury.
CAUTION
The inner pot will be hot after cooking. Always use appropriate heat protection when
handling a hot inner pot to avoid burn injury.

14 | [e-mail] | 1800 251 643
PRESSURE COOKING 101
Pressure cooking uses steam to raise the boiling point of water above 100ºC.
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 cooking
progress bar shows
Pre-heating.
The display
shows On.
While the multicooker
pre-heats, it vaporises
liquid to create steam.
Once enough steam has
built up, the float 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.
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.
The multicooker automatically
maintains High or Low
pressure throughout cooking.
A higher pressure means
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
finished cooking, the
multicooker 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!

instantpot.com.au | 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
float 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
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 float 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
Pressurised Depressurised

16 | [e-mail] | 1800 251 643
RELEASING PRESSURE
Natural release (NR or NPR)
Cooking stops gradually. As the temperature within the multicooker drops, the Instant Pot
Pro depressurises naturally over time.
What to do What to expect
After cooking finishes, leave
the quick release switch in the
Seal position until the float
valve drops into the lid.
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 upon
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 find 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, chilis, 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 float
valve drops into the lid. When the steam release cover is installed
properly, you’ll hear a muffled hiss as
steam hits the cover and disperses.
If the cover is not installed properly, a
loud jet of steam will eject through the
top of the steam release valve.

RELEASING 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).
Timed Natural Release
The carryover cooking continues for a specific amount of time, then stops quickly when
you release the remaining pressure. Perfect for cooking 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 float
valve drops into the lid.
When the steam release cover is installed properly,
you’ll hear a muffled hiss as steam hits the cover
and disperses.
If the cover is not installed properly, a loud jet of
steam will eject 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.
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.
Vent reminder
Set a reminder for your Timed Natural Release so you can step away and own your day.
