How full can I fill the Instant Pot for pressure cooking?

For all pressure cooking programs, do not fill the unit over 2/3 full. When cooking foods that expand during cooking, such as grains, beans, and dried vegetables, do not fill the unit over 1/2 full, as overfilling may cause a risk of clogging the pressure release valve and developing excess pressure.
