IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

Placement

DO place the appliance on a countertop only. Always operate the appliance on a stable, non-combustible, level surface.
DO make sure all parts are dry and free of food debris before placing the cooking pot on the cooker base.
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.

G eneral Use

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

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 Brands lid that came with this cooker base. Using any other pressure cooker or air fryer lids may cause personal injury and/or property damage.
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 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 unattended while in use.

Pressure Cooking

This appliance cooks under pressure. DO NOT open while 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 check that the steam release valve is installed.
DO use the Instant Brands lid when pressure cooking. For instructions on how to use the lid, see the User Manual or Getting Started Guide.
DO turn the appliance off if steam escapes from the hot air outlet in a steady stream for longer than 3 minutes. If steam escapes from the sides of the lid, turn the appliance off, wait for it to depressurize/cool and make sure the sealing ring is properly installed.
DO check the steam release valve, steam release pipe, anti-block shield and float valve for clogging before use. For instructions on how to clean these parts, see the User Manual.
DO NOT attempt to force the lid off the Instant Pot cooker base.
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 personal injuries and/or property damage.
DO NOT place your face, hands or exposed skin over the hot air outlet when the appliance is in operation or has residual pressure, and do not lean over the appliance when removing the lid.
DO NOT open the lid until the message bar says to do so.
DO NOT remove the pressure cooking cover with bare hands.
DO NOT operate a pressure cooking programme unless the pressure cooking cover is correctly installed.

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 exercise extreme caution when cooking and venting food(s) such as applesauce, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal, split peas, noodles, etc. as these foods may foam, froth, or spatter, and may clog the steam release pipe, valve, and/or steam release handle.
DO NOT fill the inner pot higher than the “PC MAX- 1/2” line when cooking these foods. Failure to follow this warning may lead to personal injury and/or property damage and may void your warranty.
DO NOT place oversized foods into the inner cooking pot as they may cause risk of fire and/or personal injury and/or property damage.
DO check that sealing ring is properly installed.

Air Frying

When the unit is air frying, hot air is released through the air vents. Keep your hands and face away from the air vents and take extreme caution when removing hot accessories from the appliance. Failure to do so may result in personal injury and/or property damage.

DO NOT use the pressure cooking cover when air frying.
DO use the included inner cooking pot when air frying.
DO use the Instant Brands lid when air frying. For instructions on how to use the lid, see the User Manual or Getting Started Guide.
DO NOT place unprotected hands inside the appliance until it has cooled to room temperature.
DO NOT use a ceramic-coated or stoneware inner pot for air frying.
DO NOT block the vents on the bottom of the cooker base or on the lid. Leave at least 13 cm of space around the 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 air frying. Doing so will prevent even cooking and may cause damage to the appliance.
DO NOT place the lid directly on countertop. Should the unit emit black smoke when air frying, press Cancel and unplug the appliance immediately. Wait for smoking to stop before opening the lid, then clean thoroughly. For further information refer to ‘Troubleshooting’ in the User Manual.

Overfill During Air Frying

DO NOT overfill the air frying basket when air frying. Only fill air frying basket as high as the handles, and no higher.
DO NOT allow food to come into contact with the heating element.

Accessories

DO use only accessories or attachments authorised 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 and/or electric shock.
DO use only the authorised stainless-steel inner cooking pot for the Duo Crisp with Ultimate Lid to reduce the risk of pressure leakage.
DO only replace the pressure cooking cover with an authorised Instant Brands pressure cooking cover to prevent personal injury 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

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. 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.

DO NOT let the power cord touch hot surfaces or open flame, including the stovetop.
DO NOT use with power converters or adapters, timer switches or separate remote-control systems. This appliance has a 3-prong earthed plug. To reduce the risk of electric shock: ONLY plug the power cord into an earthed electrical outlet.

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 by email at UKSupport@instantbrands.com (if located in the UK) or EUSupport@instantbrands.com (if located in the EU) or by phone at +44 (0) 3331230051.
