Was looking into how to wipe out the settings on my Instant Pot. Apparently very stupidly simple, hold the Cancel button until you hear two beeps and it goes back to default settings. Thats it!
I’m making a post about it because I see people trying to overcomplicate it. Some people will unplug it. Others will try to use a sequence of buttons that one person posted in a comment. And some people who are considerably older will tell you there is no way to factory reset these. Well thats not true.

Does holding the cancel button wipe out the saved time and temperature settings for a program like Pressure Cook?

The machine will wipe out the saved customization to the time. If you change the time from the default of 35 minutes to something else and saved it, it will go back to 35. It will not just stop a program as that would be a single press of the button.
 
On the Pro Crisp with the touchscreen there’s an actual settings menu, you can go into the settings and there’s a factory reset function. Cancel button hold still works on that model as well tho

interesting, so only that one program can be customized to your preference then? if I customize the time for the Rice program will it only reset that, or does holding the cancel button wipe out all of the settings at once?
