When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed:

1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS, SAFEGUARDS, AND WARNINGS, AS WELL AS INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE USE BEFORE OPERATING THE APPLIANCE.  FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE SAFEGUARDS AND INSTRUCTIONS MAY RESULT IN INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

2. Always use an Instant Pot  ® stainless steel inner pot of the appropriate size when using the air fryer lid. The Duo Crisp ™  is only compatible with the stainless-steel inner pot. DO NOT use the cooker with the non-stick, ceramic-coated inner pot.
   Failure to follow these instructions may lead to the sudden release of contents and may cause burns or other injuries and/or damage.

3. Use the Duo Crisp pressure cooker lid or the Duo Crisp air fryer lid with the Duo Crisp cooker base. Using any other lids may cause injury and/or damage.

4. Do not let children near the appliance when in use. Children should not play with the appliance.

5. Do not put the appliance into a heated oven or on any heated surface.

6. Do not place the appliance on or in close proximity to a hot gas or electric burner, or a heated oven. The heat from an external source will damage the appliance. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or property damage.

7. Do not tamper with any of the safety mechanisms as this may result in injury or property damage.

8.  Do not move the appliance while it is under pressure.

9. Do not use the appliance for a purpose other than that for which it is intended.

10. This appliance cooks under pressure. Scalds may result from inappropriate use of the pressure cooker. Make sure that the cooker is properly closed before applying heat.  Refer to the Getting Started Guide.

11. Never force open the pressure cooker. Do not open before making sure that its internal pressure has completely dropped. Refer to the Getting Started Guide.

12. Use the appropriate heat source(s) according to the Getting Started Guide.

13. Never use the pressure cooker without adding water, as this would seriously damage it.

14. Do not fill the inner pot beyond —2/3 of its capacity as indicated on the inner pot. When cooking foodstuffs that expand during cooking, such as rice or dehydrated vegetables, do not fill the cooker to more than —1/2 of its capacity as indicated on the inner pot.

15. After cooking meat with a skin (such as ox tongue), which may swell under the effect of pressure, do not prick the meat while the skin is swollen as you may be scalded.

16. The heating element surface inside the Instant Pot® cooker base is subject to residual heat after use; do not touch it.

17.  Before each use, check that the valves, the steam release pipe, and the anti-block shield are not obstructed. Refer to the Getting Started Guide.

18. Never use the pressure cooker in its pressurized mode for deep or shallow frying of food.

19. Do not tamper with any of the safety systems beyond the maintenance instructions specified in the instructions for use.

20. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged lead or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions or has been damaged in any way. If the power supply lead is damaged, users should contact Customer Care for further assistance.

21. For domestic use only. Not intended for commercial or outdoor use.

22. This appliance should not be used by children, by individuals whose physical, sensory or mental abilities prevent safe use of the appliance, or by individuals with limited knowledge of how to use a pressure cooker. Close supervision is needed when using this appliance near these individuals.

25. Do not use this appliance for shallow or deep frying or pressure frying with oil.

26. Be aware that certain foods such as stewed apples, cranberries, pearl barley, oatmeal or other cereals, split peas, noodles, macaroni, rhubarb or spaghetti can foam, froth and clog the steam release. These foods should not be cooked under pressure cooking settings unless as directed in authorized Instant Pot® recipes.

27. Spilled food can cause serious burns. A short power-supply lead is provided to reduce the hazards resulting from grabbing, entanglement and tripping.
    • Keep the appliance and lead away from children.
    • Never drape the power lead over edges of tables or counters.
    • Never use below-counter power sockets, and never use with an extension lead.

29. Always allow the appliance to cool before cleaning. Allow all surfaces to dry thoroughly before use or storage.

30. The appliance is not intended to be operated by means of an external timer or a separate remote-control system.

31. Always make sure the sealing ring is completely set in the groove on the inside of the sealing ring rack.

32. Avoid spillage on the connector.

33. CAUTION The cooker base and air fryer lid contain electrical components. To avoid electrical shock, do not immerse the power lead, plug, or cooker base or air fryer lid in water or other liquid. Do not rinse the cooker base or the air fryer lid under a tap.

34. Intended for countertop use only. Keep the appliance on a stable, heat-resistant platform. Do not place on or near a hot stovetop.

Leave at least 13 cm of space around the air fryer lid while it is in use.  Failure to follow these instructions will prevent even cooking and may cause damage to the appliance.

36.  Avoid contact with moving parts. Failure to do so may result in injury.

37. When using the air fryer lid, do not overfill the air fry basket. Overfilling may cause food to contact the heating element, which may result in fire and/or personal injury.

    • Always use proper hand protection when removing accessories, and when handling the inner pot.
    • Always place hot accessories on a heat-resistant surface or cooking plate.
    • Only place the air fryer lid on the protective pad provided; do not place it on the countertop.
    • Use extreme caution when disposing of hot grease.
    Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or property damage.

39. 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.

40. CAUTION 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 follow these instructions may result in injury or property damage.

41. 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”.
