1. Pressure Regulating Knob: Turn the regulating knob to the "Pressure"
position when cooking under pressure or when using the meat program,
bean program or any of the rice cooking programs. Turn the knob to the
"Steam" position to release the pressure after using any of the rice programs,
beans program, meat program or pressure cooking program. The pressure
regulator knob needs to be turned to "Steam" when using the steam function.
When using KEEP WARM, be sure to turn the pressure regulating knob to the
"Steam" position and not to the "Pressure" position.
2. Self-Locking Pin: The lid will lock automatically when the lid is properly
aligned and closed. While cooking under pressure you will not be able to open
the lid until all of the pressure is released.
3. Cool-Touch Handles: The cool to the touch handles of the unit allows for
easy handling and opening of the lid.
4. Floating Valve: The safety-floating valve controls the amount of pressure
inside the cooker by allowing excess pressure to be released.
5. Silicone Gasket: Creates an airtight seal needed for the cooker to build up
pressure. Check the silicone gasket for any tears or cracks before using the
pressure cooking, meat, beans, or any of the rice cooking programs. To order
a new gasket, please contact a Fagor Representative at 1-800-207-0806 or
purchase it directly on the Fagor website at www.fagoramerica.com.
6. Safety Pressure Valve: The safety pressure valve allows excess pressure to
escape from the cooker when it is being used for pressure cooking. It works
independently from the floating valve.
7. Anti-Blocking Case: Pull it towards yourself to release the pressure regulator
knob for cleaning.
8. Condensation Reservoir: Collects excess condensation during cooking. If
there is some liquid in the reservoir after cooking, simply empty it.
9. Heating Element and Temperature Sensor: Both elements regulate the
cooking temperature inside the pot.
10. Removable Cooking Pot: Aluminum pot with non-stick coating; dishwasher
safe pot, but hand washing is always recommended.
11. Stationary Pot: This pot cannot be removed from the electric pressure cooker
and should NEVER be used for cooking. Before cooking, make sure to place
the removable cooking pot into the stationary pot first. All ingredients should
be placed into the removable cooking pot ONLY.
12. Control Panel: The easy to use controls allow you to select the different
programs available with a touch of a finger. Available for selection are: two
pressure cooking settings, meat, beans, white rice, brown rice, risotto, brown,
sauté, simmer, steam, keep warm, time delay, start/stop and a plus and minus
button to adjust cooking time and time delay. Also, on the control panel you
will find the HIGH and LOW indicator lights which will blink while pressure
or temperature is building. These three lights will go solid once the unit has
reached proper pressure or temperature.
