INITIAL SETUP

Clean before use

1. Wash the inner cooking pot with hot water and soap. Rinse and use a soft cloth to dry the outside. Or you can wash the inner cooking pot in the dishwasher.
2. Wipe the heating element inside the cooker base with a soft cloth to ensure there are no stray packaging particles.

Setting up the condensation collector
The condensation collector sits at the back of the cooker base and accumulates overflow moisture from the condensation rim. It should be installed before cooking, then emptied and rinsed out after each use.

Remove the condensation collector

Pull the condensation collector away from the cooker base; do not pull down.
Note the tabs on the cooker base and the grooves on the condensation collector.

Install the condensation collector

• Align the grooves on the condensation collector with the tabs on the back of the cooker base and slide the condensation collector into place.

Using the Sealing Ring
When the lid is closed, the sealing ring installed on the underside of the lid creates an air-tight seal between the lid and the cooker base.

• The sealing ring must be installed before using the cooker and should be cleaned after each use.
• Install 1 sealing ring at a time; use one for sweet dishes and one for savory.
• Sealing rings stretch over time with normal use. To keep your product safe, replace the sealing ring every 12 to 18 months.
• Replace sooner if you notice stretching, deformation, or damage.

Install the Sealing Ring

1. Place the sealing ring over the sealing ring rack and press it into place. Press down firmly to ensure there is no puckering.
2. The sealing ring should be snug and should not fall out when the lid is turned over.

Remove the Sealing Ring

1. Grip the edge of the sealing ring and pull it out from behind the sealing ring rack.
2. Inspect the rack to ensure it is secured, centered, and an even height all the way around the lid. If the sealing ring rack is deformed, do not try to repair it.

Plug in cord (6QT model)

• When you’re ready to use your Duo Plus, plug the electrical cord into the power socket on the back of the unit.
• The 8QT model has an electrical cord that is always connected to the unit.

Setting up your new Duo Plus for a test run is a great way to familiarize yourself with how the unit works before you actually cook a meal.

To perform a test run

1. Add 3 quarts water to the inner cooking pot.

2. Place the inner cooking pot into the cooker base.

3. Place the lid on top of the cooker base and lock the lid. See ‘How to lock the lid’ below

4. Press Pressure Cook on the Control Panel.

5. Press the Control Dial, then turn the Control Dial to set the cooking time to 5 minutes.

6. Press Keep Warm to turn off the Keep Warm setting.

7. Press Start to begin. The message display shows Preheating.

8. When cooking is done, the display shows DO NOT OPEN LID.

9. Release steam by moving the steam release switch to the Vent position. When steam is completely released, the message display shows OK to Open Lid and End alternatively.
   See ‘How to release steam’ below for complete instructions

10. Unlock and open the lid.
    See ‘How to unlock the lid’ below

11. Discard any remaining water, and then wash and dry the inner cooking pot.

Now you’re ready to cook a meal in your Instant Pot Duo Plus!

USING THE LID
You’ll use the pressure cooking lid for most cooking programs, and especially for pressure cooking. Always use the pressure cooking lid that came with this Duo Plus cooker base.

How to close and lock the lid
For pressure cooking, the lid must be securely locked into place to prevent steam from escaping. When you place the lid on the cooker base:

1. Line up line on the lid with the arrow at the side of the control panel .
2. Turn the lid clockwise until the line on the lid lines up with the line on the control panel.

If the lid is not closed and locked when you start a cooking program, the message display will show Turn to Lock Lid and the unit will not start pressurizing.

How to unlock and open the lid
Once steam is completely released, you must unlock the lid before opening it:

1. Turn the lid counterclockwise until the line on the lid lines up with the arrow on the side of the control panel.
2. Carefully lift the lid up and off the cooker base. When a cooking program is finished and steam has been released, the steam icon on the display will disappear and the message display will show END and OK to Open Lid.

How to release steam
The Duo Plus can release steam naturally or quickly. Use the one that best fits the type of food you’re cooking.

Natural steam release

1. After cooking, leave the steam release switch in the Seal position until all pressure is released.
2. When pressure is released the steam icon on the display disappears and the message display shows OK to Open Lid, remove the lid.

Quick steam release
Quickly releases steam after you move the steam release switch to the Vent position. Use for: Foods that tend to overcook, like vegetables and seafood.

1. After cooking, set steam release switch to Vent position position and wait for all pressure to release.
2. When pressure is released, the steam icon on the display will disappear and the message display shows OK to Open Lid, remove the lid.

Pressure Cooking Caution
This appliance uses pressure to cook. Allow the appliance to release all excess pressure and steam before opening the lid. Opening the lid before pressure is released may result in burns, personal injury and/or property damage. Read more in the Safety, Maintenance and Warranty document.
