Instant Pot Instructions

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.
