How do I properly clean and prepare my Instant Pot before first use?

Wash the inner pot, lid, and sealing ring with warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Place the inner pot into the cooker base and ensure the sealing ring is properly installed in the lid. Perform a water test to familiarize yourself with the cooking process and ensure the appliance is functioning correctly. (Page 1 — How to Use)
