I just suggest you might try using the app to navigate through the buttons and view the settings that each function starts out with with an AIRA agent. There are several versions of the instant pot and I don’t they all have their buttons set up the same way. If you don’t currently have an account with AIRA, you can use it for free for 5 minute intervals. Also, if you could tell us which instant pot you have, maybe someone on the list has the same one and could tell you the layout. Also, if you get the online manual for your instant pot, I think you can find them on instantpot.com that will give you some of the basic information you need to know about each function.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I feel like I’m not being very helpful, and apologize for that!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Best,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Charlene<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> Small-Appliance-Cooking <small-appliance-cooking-bounces@nfbnet.org> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Dean Martineau via Small-Appliance-Cooking<br><b>Sent:</b> Friday, January 17, 2020 2:33 PM<br><b>To:</b> 'Cooking with Small Appliances' <small-appliance-cooking@nfbnet.org><br><b>Cc:</b> Dean Martineau <topdot@gmail.com><br><b>Subject:</b> [Small-Appliance-Cooking] very basic instant pot questions<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I have a non-Bluetooth model of this device.
