Thanks for renting an Instant Pot with Green Gooding and making a difference for the planet. See below some instructions to make the best use of your appliances, but first a few safety measures.

Safety Measures

• For countertop use only. Always operate the appliance on a stable, non-combustible, level surface.
• Do not place on anything that may block the vents on the bottom of the appliance.
• Do not place on a hot stove. Heat from an external source will damage the appliance.
• 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 touch the appliance’s hot surfaces. Only use the side handles for carrying or moving.
• Do not move the appliance when it is under pressure.
• Do not touch the metal portion of the lid when the appliance is in operation; this could result in personal injury.
• Always use hand protection when removing accessories, and to handle the inner pot.
• This appliance cooks under pressure. Any pressure in the appliance can be hazardous. Allow the appliance to depressurize naturally or release all excess pressure before opening.
• Make sure the appliance is properly closed before operating.
• 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.

Cooking Instructions

• Find a recipe and follow the steps needed.
• Put ingredients in the instant pot (Be careful to not go beyond the maximum limit)
• Choose your cooking mode or select manually what you want to cook.
• If you use the Pressure Cooking mode, make sure that the lid is securely closed and that the pressure valve is in the vent position (lower position).
• Be extremely careful when releasing the pressure valve at the end of the cooking session. It will release hot steam and it can burn. Make sure to use a long utensils (for example a wooden spoon) to change it’s position and release the pressure. Stay away from the pressure.
