WARNING

Before using your new Duo Crisp, read all instructions, including the Safety and Warranty document. Failure to follow the safeguards and instructions may result in personal injury and/or property damage.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, personal injury or property damage.

Placement

• DO place the appliance on a countertop only. Always operate the appliance on a stable, non-combustible, level surface.
• DO NOT place the appliance on or close to a hot gas or electric burner, or a heated oven.
• DO NOT use the appliance near water or flame.
• DO NOT use outdoors. Keep out of direct sunlight.
• DO NOT place on anything that may block the vents on the bottom of the appliance.
• DO make sure all parts are dry and free of food debris before placing the cooking pot on the cooker base.

General Use

The removable inner cooking pot is extremely hot during use, and can be extremely heavy when full of ingredients.

• DO NOT use the appliance without the removable inner cooking pot installed.
• DO NOT touch the metal portion of the lid, the appliance’s hot surfaces, or any accessories during or immediately after cooking because they will be hot. Only use the side handles for carrying or moving.
• DO use oven mitts when handling the inner cooking pot and removing accessories.
• DO place hot accessories on a heat-resistant surface or cooking plate.
• DO use care when lifting the cooking pot from the cooker base to avoid burn injury.
• DO use extreme caution when the cooking pot contains hot food, hot oil or other hot liquids.
• DO use only the Instant Pot Duo Crisp lids with the Instant Pot Duo Crisp cooker base. Using any other pressure cooker lids or other air fryer lids may cause personal injury and/or burn injury and/or property damage.
• DO NOT use this appliance for deep frying with oil.
• DO NOT move the appliance while it is in use and use extreme caution when disposing of hot grease.
• DO NOT allow children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities to operate this appliance. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children and persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities. Children should not play with this appliance.
• DO NOT use the appliance for anything other than household use. It is not intended for commercial use.
• DO NOT leave the appliance completely unattended for long periods of time while in use.

Pressure Cooking Cautions

This appliance cooks under pressure. Allow the appliance to depressurize naturally or release all excess pressure before opening. Inappropriate use may result in burns, personal injury and/or property damage.

• DO make sure the appliance is properly closed before operating.
• DO NOT move the appliance when it is under pressure.
• DO NOT cover or obstruct the steam release valve and/or float valve with cloth or other objects.
• DO NOT attempt to open the appliance until it has depressurized, and all internal pressure has been released. Attempting to open the appliance while it is still pressurized 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 float valve when the appliance is in operation or has residual pressure, and do not lean over the appliance when removing the lid.
• DO turn the appliance off if steam escapes from the steam release valve and/or float valve in a steady stream for longer than 3 minutes. If steam escapes from the sides of the lid, turn the appliance off and make sure the sealing ring is properly installed.
• DO NOT attempt to force the lid off the Instant Pot cooker base.
• DO check the steam release valve, steam release pipe, anti-block shield and float valve for clogging.

Overfill During Pressure Cooking

Overfilling may cause a risk of clogging the steam release pipe and developing excess pressure.

• DO NOT fill the inner cooking pot over the line labeled ‘PC MAX — 2/3’.
• DO NOT fill the inner cooking pot over the line labeled ‘— 1/2’ when cooking foods that expand during cooking such as rice, dried beans or dried vegetables.
• DO NOT place oversized foods into the inner cooking pot as they may cause risk of fire, property damage and/or personal injury.

Note: When pressure cooking food with a doughy or thick texture, or a high fat/oil content, contents may splatter when opening the lid. Follow recipe instructions for the pressure release method.

Air Frying Cautions

When the air fryer lid is in operation, hot air is released through the air vents. Keep your hands and face at a safe distance from the air vents and take extreme caution when removing hot accessories from the appliance. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or property damage.

While cooking, the internal temperature of the appliance reaches several hundred degrees. To avoid personal injury, never place unprotected hands inside the appliance until it has cooled to room temperature. Use oven mitts or other protection when removing the inner pot after cooking.

• DO use the included inner cooking pot when using the air fryer lid.
• DO NOT use a ceramic-coated or stoneware inner pot (such as CorningWare stoneware) for air frying.
• DO NOT block the vents on the bottom of the cooker base or on the air fryer lid. Leave at least 5” / 13 cm of space around the air fryer lid when in use.
• DO NOT place the appliance on a hot stove.
• DO NOT operate the appliance on or near combustible materials such as tablecloths and curtains.
• DO NOT cover the air vents while the air fryer lid is in operation. Doing so will prevent even cooking and may cause damage to the appliance.
• DO NOT overfill the air fryer basket when using the air fryer lid. Overfilling may cause food to contact the heating element, which may result in fire, property damage and/or personal injury.
• DO NOT place the air fryer lid directly on countertop; use the protective pad provided.

Should the unit emit black smoke when using the air fryer lid, press Cancel and unplug the appliance immediately. Wait for smoking to stop before removing the lid, then clean thoroughly. For further information refer to “Troubleshooting”.

Accessories

• DO use only accessories or attachments authorized by Instant Brands. The use of parts, accessories or attachments not recommended by the manufacturer may cause a risk of personal injury, property damage, fire or electric shock.
• DO use only an authorized stainless-steel Instant Pot inner cooking pot to reduce the risk of pressure leakage.
• DO only replace the sealing ring with an authorized Instant Pot sealing ring to prevent personal injury, property damage, and damage to the appliance.
• DO NOT use the included accessories in a microwave, toaster oven, convection or conventional oven, or on a ceramic cooktop, electric coil, gas range or outdoor grill.

Care and Storage

• DO let the appliance cool to room temperature before cleaning or storage.
• DO NOT store any materials in the cooker base when not in use.
• DO NOT place any combustible materials in the cooker base, such as paper, cardboard, plastic, Styrofoam or wood.

Power Cord

WARNING: Spilled food can cause serious burns. Keep appliance and cord away from children. Never drape cord over edge of counter, never use outlet below counter, and never use with an extension cord.

A short power-supply cord is used to reduce the risk resulting from it being grabbed by children, becoming entangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. This appliance has a 3-prong grounding plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock:

• ONLY plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet.
• DO NOT remove ground.
• DO NOT let the power cord hang over edges of tables or counters, or touch hot surfaces or open flame, including the stovetop.
• DO NOT use below-counter power outlets.
• DO NOT use with extension cords, power converters or adapters, timer switches or separate remote-control systems.

Electrical Cautions

The cooker base contains electrical components that are an electrical shock hazard. Failure to follow these instructions may result in electric shock.

To avoid electrical shock:

To disconnect, select Cancel, then remove plug from power source. Always unplug when not in use, as well as before adding or removing parts or accessories, and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp the plug and pull from the outlet. Never pull from the power cord.

• DO regularly inspect the appliance and power cord. DO NOT operate the appliance if the power cord or plug is damaged, or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. For assistance, contact Customer Care at support@instanthome.com.
• DO NOT attempt to repair, replace or modify components of the appliance, as this may cause electric shock, fire, property damage or personal injury, and will void the warranty.
• DO NOT tamper with any of the safety mechanisms, as this may result in personal injury or property damage.
• DO NOT put liquid of any kind into the cooker base without the inner cooking pot.
• DO NOT immerse power cord, plug or the appliance in water or other liquid to protect against electrical shock. DO NOT rinse the appliance under tap.
• DO NOT use the appliance in electrical systems other than 120 V ~ 60 Hz for North America.
