Before the rst use, please take out all accessories from the package and read this manual 
carefully. Please pay parcular aenon to operaonal instrucons and cauons to avoid any 
injury or property damage. Please wash the inside of the lid and the inner pot with warm soapy 
water, rinse and dry thoroughly. Wipe the outer housing with a clean damp cloth. Never immerse 
the cooker housing in water or any other liquid. The inner pot, sealing ring and steam release 
handle and all accessories are dishwasher safe. But never clean the lid and housing in a 
dishwasher. 
Install the Condensaon Collector 
To install the condensaon collector, 
slide it into the slot on the cooker 
housing. Follow the reverse order to 
remove it for cleaning.  
Remove and Install the An-Block Shield

secons.  To reinstall the sealing ring, 
pressing it down  into the rack secon by 
secon. The sealing ring can be installed on 
either side facing up.  
Please note the following: 
  Prior to each use, inspect to make sure the sealing ring is well seated in the sealing ring 
rack and the an-block shield is mounted properly on the steam release pipe. A properly 
seated sealing ring can be shied, with a bit of eort, clockwise or an-clockwise inside 
the sealing ring rack. 
  Aer use, remove any foreign objects from the sealing ring and an-block shield.  
  Keep the sealing ring clean to avoid odor. Washing the sealing ring in warm soapy water or 
dishwasher can remove odor. However, it is normal for the sealing ring to absorb the smell 
of certain acidic foods. That's why it is always a good idea to have more than one sealing 
ring on hand. You can purchase addional sealing rings from www.InstantPot.com. 
  Never pull the sealing ring by force, as the pulling may cause deformaon and aect its 
funcon in sealing the pressure. 
  A sealing ring with cracks, cuts or other damages should not be used. A new sealing ring 
replacement should be used. Please choose authenc parts from Instant Pot Company.

1. Make sure the pressure cooking program has completed or press “Keep-Warm/Cancel” to 
terminate the program. 
2. Releasing pressure in one of the following approaches. 
     Quick Release: 
  Slide the steam release handle to the "Venng" posion to let out steam unl the oat 
valve drops down. 
          Cauon:  
  Please keep hands and face away from the hole on the top of the steam release handle 
when using Quick Release.  The escaping steam is very hot and can cause scalding. 
  Never pull out the steam release handle when it is leng out steam. 
  Please be aware that Quick Release is not suitable for food in large liquid volume or with 
high starch content (e.g. porridge, congee, scky liquids, soup, etc.). Food content may 
splaer out with steam. Use Natural Release instead. 
     Natural Release: 
  Allow the cooker to cool down naturally unl the oat valve drops down. This may take 10 
to 15 minutes aer cooking is nished and the cooker is in Keep-Warm mode. 
  Pung a wet towel on the lid can speed up cooling. 
3.   Open the lid: Hold the lid handle, turn the lid counterclockwise to the open posion, and li 
the lid up to open. To avoid vacuum sucon on the lid, turn the steam release to “Venng” 
posion to let in air when liing the lid.  
  Cauon: Do not open the lid unl pressure inside the pot is completely released. As a 
safety feature, unl the oat valve drops down, the lid is locked and cannot be opened. 
  If the oat valve is stuck due to food debris or sckiness, you can push it down with a pen 
or chopscks when you are certain the pressure has been released by moving the steam 
release handle in the venng posion. 
 
1. Open the lid  
Holding the lid handle with your hand, rotate approximately 30 degrees counterclockwise 
unl the  mark  on the lid is aligned with the  “Open” mark on the cooker 
housing  rim. 

9 
2. Check whether all parts on the lid are assembled properly 
Check the oat valve and exhaust valve for obstrucons. Make sure that the sealing ring is 
well seated inside its holding rack, the an-block shield is installed properly and the oat 
valve can move up and down easily.  
3. Take out the inner pot, and put in food and liquid   
The total amount of food and water should NEVER exceed the 
maximum level marking of the inner pot. It is recommended that 
you do not ll the unit over 2/3 full. When cooking foods that 
expand during cooking such as rice, beans or dried vegetables, 
do not ll the unit over 1/2 full. Over lling may risk clogging the 
vent pipes and developing excess pressure. This could also cause 
spillage and may damage to the unit.  
4. Place the inner pot inside the cooker housing 
Before that, be sure to remove foreign objects and wipe dry the outside of the inner pot and 
the heang element inside of the cooker.  
Aer pung the inner pot inside the housing, rotate the inner pot slightly to ensure good 
contact between the inner pot and the heang element. 
5. Close the lid completely 
Hold the lid handle and put the lid on the cooker, with the       mark on the lid and the 
“Open” marks on the housing rim are aligned. Rotate the lid clockwise approximately 30 
degrees unl the   mark on the lid is aligned with the   “Close” mark on the 
housing rim. 
Instant Pot has a safety feature to disable the cooker and the display ashes "Lid" if the lid is 
not posioned correctly. When using "Soup", "Poultry", "Meat/Stew", "Bean/Chili", 
"Mulgrain", "Rice", "Steam", "Porridge" and "Yogurt", the lid should be fully closed.  When 
using "Sauté", the lid should be open. "Keep Warm" and “Slow Cook” works with the lid 
either opened or closed.  
6. Posion the steam release handle properly 
Please note that it is perfectly normal and necessary for the steam release handle to be 

10 
loose. It works by weight and simply rests on top of the 
exhaust pipe. It can also be removed for washing if 
necessary by pulling it straight out. 
In operaon of the cooker for any funcons except "Keep
-Warm", "Sauté" or "Slow Cook", align the pointed end of 
the steam release handle poinng to "Sealing", indicang 
that the pressure cooker is in the sealed posion.  
The "Sauté" funcon must be used without the lid. The 
"Slow Cook" and “Keep-Warm” can operate with or 
without the lid, or using an oponal glass lid available at 
www.InstantPot.com.       
 
 
The control panel of your Instant Pot consists of an LED display, 2 pressure indicators, 3 mode 
indicators, 4 operaon keys and 14 funcon keys. Each funcon key has a funcon indicator light. 
Operaon keys do not have indicator lights.  
 
Your Instant Pot has 3 states which are shown on the LED display and funcon indicators. 

11 
  Standby state: the LED display shows 
“OFF”. 
  Pre-heang state: the LED display shows 
“On” and the acvated funcon 
indicator lights up. 
  Program operang state: the acvated 
funcon indicator lights up and the LED 
display shows me. For pressure 
cooking, slow cooking and mer 
funcons, the me counts down. For 
“Keep Warm” and “Yogurt” funcons, 
the me counts up. 
 
The 4 operaons keys include “+”, “-“, “Pressure” and “Adjust” keys. The “+” and “-“ are used to 
change the me value. 
The "Pressure" key toggles the pressure seng between “High Pressure” and “Low Pressure” for 
the pressure cooking funcons which include "Soup", "Bean/Chili", "Poultry", "Meat/Stew", 
"Mulgrain", "Porridge", "Steam", “Rice" and “Manual” funcons. The “Pressure” key has no 
eect on non-pressure cooking funcons: “Slow Cook”, “Sauté” and “Yogurt”. 
The "Adjust" key can make 3 types of adjustments: 
1. Changing the pressure keeping me for pressure cooking funcons, except "Manual" 
 and "Rice" funcons. "Rice" is fully automac.  
2. Switching the temperature of "Slow Cook" and "Sauté".  
3. Selecng programs in “Yogurt”.  
 
The most important key is “Keep Warm/Cancel”. When Instant Pot is 
being programmed or any program is in eect, press this key will cancel 
the program and take the cooker to standby state. When the cooker is in 
standby state, pressing this key acvates the “Keep-Warm” program.  You 
can use “Adjust” key to select the mode of dierent temperatures: Less 
(~56°C/133°F), Normal (~63°C/145°F), and More (75°C/145°F). 
The “Soup” key is for making various soups and broth. You can use the 
“Adjust” key to select a shorter or longer cooking duraon, depending 
on the intended cooking result.  Instant Pot controls the pressure and 
temperature to a level that the liquid never goes into the heavy 
boiling state. For example, making chicken broth with the "Soup" 
funcon, the broth is clear and the chicken remains intact aer 
cooking. If you need the food content to be fully broken down, please 
sr and mix the soup before serving. 
The “Porridge” key is to make porridge of various grains. You can use the “Adjust” key to select a 
cooking duraon. The “Normal” duraon is for rice porridge. For a mixture various grains and 
beans, please choose the "More" duraon.  Sr the Porridge before serving. Please note, aer 
the “Porridge” program is nished, do NOT put steam release handle in venng posion; 
otherwise the porridge will splaer through the steam release. Please use Natural Release. 
The “Poultry” key is programmed to make poultry dishes. You may use the "Adjust" key to change 
the poultry cooking me from "Normal" to "More" or "Less" depending on your preference of 
the texture and the amount of poultry you put into the pot. Poultry meat is generally easier to 
cook than pork, lamb and beef. Hence the poultry cooking me is adjusted within a shorter 

12 
me range when using the "Poultry" funcon key. 
The “Meat/Stew” key is for cooking meat and stew. The “Adjust” key can be used to change the 
cooking me to achieve the desired texture of the meat. In general, "More" duraon is for 
bone-stripping eect on meat. 
The “Bean/Chili” key is specically for cooking beans and making Chili.  If you want the beans well 
cooked, please use the “Adjust” key to select "More" duraon. 
The “Rice” key is a fully automated smart program for cooking regular rice or parboiled rice.  The 
cooking duraon is adjusted automacally depending on the amount of food content. To cook 
2 cups of rice, it takes about 12 minute pressure keeping me; for 3~5 cups of rice, it takes 
about 14 minute pressure keeping me; more cups will take longer me accordingly. Total 
cooking me is not displayed, whereas the pressure keeping me will be shown when working 
pressure is reached. The “Adjust” key has no eect on this program. Please note: You can cook 
as lile as one cup of rice with the correct rao of water. 
The "Mulgrain" key is a program to cook mixed grains of wild rice, hard brown rice, mung beans, 
etc. There are three “Adjust” opons for mulgrain rice cooking. The "Normal" seng has 40 
minutes of pressure cooking me. The "Less" seng has 20 minutes of pressure cooking me. 
The "More" seng has 45 minutes of warm water soaking me and 60 minutes of pressure 
cooking me. The "More" seng is suitable for harder grains such as dry split corn. 
The “Steam” key is designed for steaming purposes. You can steam vegetables, seafood or 
reheang with the enclosed steam rack.  When steaming vegetables and seafood, please note 
that using the “Natural Release” method for releasing the steam will likely overcook the food. 
You will need to release the steam as soon as the cooking me has expired using the “Quick 
Release” method.  
Using 1~2 cups (160ml) of water is sucient for steaming fresh or frozen vegetables, with 1~2 
minute pressure keeping me. Please use “+” or “-“ keys to change the steaming me. Please 
note that unlike other pressure cooking funcons, the “Steam” funcon heats at full power 
connuously. This may burn food in direct contact with the boom of the inner pot. Please 
use the trivet provided to elevate the food above the water. Use a metal basket or (oven safe) 
glass/ceramic container that ts into the inner pot to contain the food.  
The “Manual” key allows manual seng of cooking me. The me set in this mode is pressure 
cooking me which will begin to count down when working pressure is reached. The 
maximum pressure cooking me is 120 minutes. 
The "Sauté" key is used for open lid sautéing, browning or simmering inside the inner pot. 
"Adjust" can be used to change the operang temperature in 3 modes. Please see the 
“Sautéing” secon for details. 
The “Slow Cook" key allows you to use your Instant Pot as a common slow cooker. The user can 
change the cooking duraon by pressing the "+" or "-" key between 0.5 and 20 hours. The 
"Adjust" key allows you to adjust the level of heang as in tradional slow cookers. Please see 
the “Slow Cooking” secon for its usage. 
The “Yogurt” key has 3 programs: make yogurt, pasteurize milk and making Jiu Niang (aka 
fermented glunous rice). Please see the “Making Yogurt” and “Making Jiu Niang ” secons. 
The “Timer” key is for delayed cooking. To start delayed cooking, rst select the desired cooking 
funcon (all program funcons except “Sauté” and “Yogurt”), and then press the “Timer” key. 
Use “+” and “-“ to set the delayed hours. Press "Timer" key again to change the minutes. The 
me you are seng is the delayed me before the program starts. Please allow sucient

The following procedure is for “Rice”, "Soup", "Poultry", "Meat/
Stew", "Bean/Chili", "Mulgrain", "Porridge", "Steam" and 
“Manual” funcons. 
1.    Follow steps in the "Cooking Preparaon" secon of this 
manual. 
2.    Connect power cord. The LED display shows “OFF” 
indicang that it’s in standby state. 
3.    Select a cooking funcon, e.g. “Soup”. Once a funcon key 
is pressed, its indicator lights up.  
  Within 10 seconds aer pressing a funcon key, you 
can sll select any other funcon keys and adjust cooking 
duraon.  
4.   Select cooking me. 
  You may use the "Adjust" key (except the “Manual” and 
“Rice” funcons) to adjust cooking duraon. 
Press the "Adjust" key repeatedly to change 
between “Normal”, “Less" and “More" modes 
which will light up on the display.  
  If necessary, change the cooking me with 
“+” and “-“. Press and hold the “+” or “-“ key for 
faster changes. 
  The built-in cooking me is suitable for general purpose food. Please 
use the cooking me table in the recipe book to determine the 
appropriate cooking me based on the specic food, the quanty of food 
and your texture preference.  
5.    Select cooking pressure.  
  All funcons except “Rice” defaults 
to High Pressure. For “Rice” funcon, the default is 
Low Pressure. Low Pressure operates at half of the 
regular working pressure (around 5.8psi or 40kpa). It 
is used to avoid overcooking tender food materials 
such as vegetables and for certain recipes that may 
call for using low pressure seng.   
6.    Cooking starts automacally in 10 seconds aer the last 
key press. 
  Three audible beeps will sound to indicate the cooking 
process has begun. The LED display shows "On" 
indicang that the pre-heang state is in progress. Please note: Depending on the food 
content, the quanty and its temperature (frozen or not), the preheat cycle can range 
between 10 to 40 minutes.  
  As the pressure increases inside the cooker, it is perfectly normal for traces of steam to 
escape from the oat valve unl the oat valve pops up.  
  Once the cooker reaches working pressure, the LED display changes from “On" to the 
programmed cooking me. The cooking me counts down to indicate the remaining 

17 
me in minutes. During this pressurized state you should not see any steam gushing out 
anywhere from the lid. However, from me to me you may see a small smoke eect 
coming from the steam release handle and occasionally a lile spuering. This is 
perfectly normal.  
  During the cooking operaon, the cooker makes low clicking sounds. This comes from 
normal operaon in switching the heang element on and o. 
  At any me, you can cancel the cooking program in progress and return to standby 
mode by pressing the “Keep-Warm/Cancel” key. 
7.    When the pressure cooking cycle nishes, the cooker beeps and 
automacally goes into the "Keep Warm" cycle, called Auto “Keep 
Warm” Cycle. The LED display shows an “L” on the rst digit, such as 
"L0:02", to indicate the “Keep Warm” cycle and me duraon. The 
clock counts up for 10 hours. If the 10 hour Auto “Keep Warm” cycle 
nishes, the cooker goes into standby state. 
  It is not recommended to leave cooked rice in “Keep-Warm” 
state for too long as it may aect the texture or the taste of 
the food.  
8.    To serve the food, press “Keep-Warm/Cancel” to stop the keep-
warm cycle and open the lid according to the “Safe Lid Opening” 
secon of this manual. 
  When opening the lid, the inner pot may appear to be stuck on the lid by vacuum. This 
is caused by contracon of air due to cooling. Please turn the steam release handle to 
“Venng” to let in air to release the vacuum.                         
 
1. Follow steps in the "Cooking Preparaon" secon of this manual. The steam release handle 
can be at either "Venng" or “Sealing” posions. An oponal glass lid can also be used. 
2. Connect power cord. The LED display shows “OFF” indicang that it’s in standby state. 
3. Press “Slow Cook” key. 
4. Change cooking duraon between 0.5 and 20 hours by pressing 
the "+" or "-" key. 
5. Select the desired cooking mode with the “Adjust” key. By pushing 
the "Adjust" key repeatedly, you can adjust the cooking mode to 
“Normal”, “More” and “Less” modes, which correspond to 
medium, high and low in a common slow cooker.  
6. Cooking starts automacally in 10 seconds aer the last key is 
pressed. 
7. When the cooking nishes, the cooker beeps and goes into the 
Auto "Keep Warm" cycle for 10 hours. 
 
Your Instant Pot has a mer funcon to delay the start of cooking for up to 24 hours. Timer 
funcon does not apply to the “Keep Warm”, “Yogurt” and "Sauté" funcons. The following shows 
how to program for delayed cooking. 
1. Follow steps in the previous “Pressure Cooking” and “Slow Cooking” secons to set a 
cooking program. 

18 
2. Within 10 seconds aer program selecon, press the “Timer” key to 
set the hours and minutes to be delayed. Use “+” and “-“ to set the 
delayed hours. Press "Timer" key again to change the minutes. The 
me is the delayed me before the program starts. Please allow 
sucient cooking me and cooling down me before serving.     
3. 10 seconds aer last key press, the “Timer” funcon starts, the me 
on LED display counts down, and the ashing green indicator on the 
“Timer” key changes to solid green.  
4. To cancel the Timer operaon, press the “Keep-Warm/Cancel” key 
at any me. 
5. Your Instant Pot starts cooking when the delay mer counts down to 
0. Aer cooking, the cooker will then enter the Auto “Keep Warm” 
cycle for 10 hours.  Please Note:   
  We highly discourage using the Timer funcon for perishable 
foods, such as meat and sh, which may go bad when le at room temperature for hours. 
Cooked rice may yield overly so texture due to long soaking me. It may also cause a 
layer of burned rice at the boom of the pot if it is le in Keep-Warm mode for too long.  
  The Timer funcon is not recommended for porridge, oatmeal or other foamy and scky 
foods. Because of the possibility of these foods gumming up the oat valve causing it to 
never seal and leading to overowing food content, it is highly recommended that your 
Instant Pot not be le unaended during the preheat cycle. Since the delay funcon 
implies leaving the unit unaended, we strongly recommend not using the mer funcon 
for these types of food. 
 
1. Follow steps in the "Cooking Preparaon" secon of this manual. 
Keep the lid open to avoid pressure from building up inside the 
cooker. An oponal glass lid can also be used. 
2. Connect power cord. The LED display shows “OFF” indicang that 
it’s in standby state. 
3. Press “Sauté” key. For safety reasons, the maximum operaon me 
of one “Sauté” cycle is 30 minutes. 
4. Change the cooking temperature among “Normal”, “More” and 
“Less” modes with the “Adjust” key. The "Normal" mode is suited 
for regular sauté or browning. The "More" mode is for sr-frying or 
blackening meat at higher temperature. The "Less" mode is 
suitable for simmering, reducing juices or thickening sauce. To 
avoid pressure building up, the lid cannot be closed. If you 
accidentally close the lid, ashing "Lid" is displayed to warn about 
wrong lid posion.  
Cauon: parally closing the lid during sautéing could cause 
the pressure to build up in the cooker. This can be hazardous.  
5. Heang starts automacally in 10 seconds aer the last key is 
pressed. The “Sauté” program can be cancelled at any me by 
pressing “Keep Warm/Cancel” key. 
6. When the designated temperature is reached, the LED display 
shows “Hot”. 
7. When cooking nishes, the cooker beeps and goes to standby 
state. If you need more me, simply press the “Sauté” key again.  

19 
 
Pressing the “Keep-Warm/Cancel” key in the standby state acvates the “Keep Warm” funcon. 
You can use “+” and “-“ to change the me between 10 minutes and 99 hours and 50 minutes. 
When “Keep Warm” funcon starts, the me counts up by minutes. The "Keep Warm" funcon 
can be used with or without the lid closed. You can also use an oponal glass lid for this funcon. 
When it nishes, the cooker beeps and goes to standby state. 
 
You can make yogurt either with the inner pot or use glass boles. The process to make yogurt 
involves two steps. The rst step is to pasteurize the milk by heang it 
to 180° F/83° C.  This serves two purposes: (1) killing pathogens and 
harmful bacteria which can grow during the fermentaon period, and 
(2) denaturaon of milk proteins, which prevents curding of milk and 
makes the proteins easier to absorb. 
Instant Pot provides two convenient ways to heat your milk. If you use 
the inner pot to make yogurt, press “Yogurt” then “Adjust” to “More” 
mode when you will see the word “boil” on the display. Instant Pot will 
then boil the milk to 180° F/83° C. When it’s done, it beeps and displays 
“yogt”.  
If you use a container or boles to make yogurt, you can steam the milk 
by: adding 1 cup of water in the inner pot, pung in the steam rack and 
placing your container or boles on top of the rack. Select the “Steam” 
funcon and set the me for 1 minute. Once the process is over, use 
the “Natural Release” method to release the steam. 
The second step aer heang the milk is to let it cool to below 115°
F/46°C, then add an adequate amount of yogurt starter or fresh yogurt. 
If you use a container or boles, you can place them in the inner pot 
without adding any addional water. Press the “Yogurt” funcon key, 
and adjust the me using the “+” and “-“ keys based on the 
instrucons of the yogurt starter. The program automacally starts in 
10 seconds. When the program completes, Instant Pot beeps, displays 
“yogt” and goes to standby state.   
The yogurt can be served plain together with other dishes (e.g. curry), 
or mixed with honey or jam to make a fruit yogurt. 
 
Jiu Niang, also known as fermented glunous rice, is a sweet and mildly alcoholic delicacy of Asia. 
It is highly nutrious and easy to digest, commonly used to make desserts in China, Japan, Korean 
and other Asian countries. Glunous rice, also known as scky rice, is used in making Jiu Niang. 
Glunous rice contains high concentraon of starch which is converted to sugars during 
fermentaon.  
1. Soak two cups of glunous rice in cold water for at least 5 hours unl the rice grains can 
easily be broken with ngers.  
2. Drain the water and wrap the soaked rice with cheese cloth and put it into a steaming 
basket. Place the basket on top of the steam rack (trivet) and add 2 cups of water into the 
inner pot. Run the “Steam” funcon for 30 minutes. Use Natural Release method. 
3. Prepare 1 cup of cold boiled water, (normally at a water-to-dry-rice rao of 1:2), starter yeast 
powder, and a glass or ceramic container with lid. Make sure that all tools are clean and free 
from bacteria, oil and salt. 

20 
4. Aer the steamed rice cool down to below 35°C/95°F, mix the cold water and yeast powder 
with the rice thoroughly in the container. Make sure that each rice grain is separated, rather 
than stuck together. Gently press the rice mixture together and leave a hole in the middle of 
the mixture. 
5. Add water to the 3rd mark in the inner pot. Lower the container into the inner pot with the 
steam rack. Water should submerge about 1cm/0.5in of the boom of the container for even 
heat conducon. Make sure to close the lid of the container to avoid excess evaporaon 
from the rice. 
6. Press the “Yogurt” funcon key and then press the “Adjust” key 
twice to “Less” mode for Jiu Niang funcon. The default 
fermentaon me is 24 hours. You may need to change this 
following the instrucon of the yeast.  
7. Jiu Niang will be ready when the program nishes. A well-made 
fermented glunous rice has transparent liquid and some small gas 
bubbles with an aromac smell of liquor and is very sweet. If there 
are some white fungi on surface, this is normal. If it has black fungi, 
the rice was contaminated during the process and it should not be 
consumed. Avoid running the fermentaon for too long, which 
causes the rice to turn sour.  
8. When the program completes, Instant Pot beeps, displays “yogt” 
and goes to standby state.  
 
In order to get a feel for your Instant Pot before jumping in with your favorite recipe, it’s a great 
idea to take it for a test run. This will help you to become familiar with your Instant Pot, make sure 
that your unit is working perfectly and also clean the unit of possible residues in the process. This 
test run can be accomplished in about 15 minutes. It’s oponal but recommended. 
1. Make sure the steam release handle and oat valve are unobstructed and clean and that the 
sealing ring is properly seated. 
2. Insert the inner pot in the cooker base and add water to the “3” 
mark on the inner pot. 
3. Close the lid. Make sure that the steam release handle is poinng 
to "Sealing" mark on the lid. 
4. Press the "Steam" buon, and press the “-“ buon to change the 
me to 2 minutes.  
5. In 10 seconds, your Instant Pot will go into the preheang cycle 
(display showing “On”). Within a few minutes steam will start 
coming out for a minute or two unl the Float Valve pops up and 
seals the cooker. Within another minute or two the working 
pressure will be reached and the countdown mer will begin. 
Once the countdown is nished, your Instant Pot will beep and 
automacally go into the “Keep Warm” mode. 
That’s it. The test is complete. Press the “Keep-Warm/Cancel” buon and/or unplug the unit. 
Once the pot cools down, you can open it and are ready to try your favorite recipe.
