Cleaning And Maintenance - Fagor LUX LCD Manuel D'utilisation

9. When the cooking time ends, the unit will beep and switch to the KEEP
WARM function, which will be displayed on the screen as
will beep periodically to let you know that there is a pressure inside the
unit. Once you release the pressure, the unit will stop beeping and will
remain on the KEEP WARM function. Press the START/STOP button to
cancel the program.
10. After the cooking time is up, release the pressure. You have two options
for releasing the pressure:
a. Quick Release Method: Release the pressure immediately by turning
the pressure regulator knob to STEAM.
CAUTION: THE STEAM COMING OUT OF THE COOKER WILL BE HOT,
AND MIGHT CONTAIN DROPLETS OF HOT LIQUID. BE SURE TO USE
POT HOLDERS, OVEN MITTS OR A KITCHEN TOWELWHEN RELEASING
PRESSURE.
b. Natural Release Method: Release the pressure by shutting the unit
off completely. This allows the pressure to drop naturally without turning
the pressure regulator knob to STEAM. This will take several minutes,
during which the food inside will continue cooking. Some recipes (such
as quinoa) benefit from this extra cooking time. You will know when the
pressure has been released because the floating valve will drop and you
will be able to open the lid.
11. Once all the pressure is released, remove the lid by turning it clockwise,
lifting it up and tilting it away from yourself to avoid getting burnt by
any remaining steam or hot water condensation dripping from the inner
portion of the lid.
WARNING: AFTER COOKING, THE REMOVABLE COOKING POT WILL
BE HOT. USE POT HOLDERS, OVEN MITTS OR A KITCHEN TOWEL TO
HANDLE IT OR LET IT COOL DOWN BEFORE REMOVING.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Do not wash any parts of the multi-cooker in the dishwasher except for the
removable cooking pot. Always wash the removable cooking pot thoroughly
after every use, or if it has not been used for an extended period of time.
1. Unplug the multi-cooker and let the unit cool before cleaning.
2. Remove the removable cooking pot and wash with warm soapy water or
in the dishwasher. Hand washing is always recommended. Rinse and dry
thoroughly.
3. Wipe the body of the unit with a clean damp cloth and rinse the lid with
warm water and soap. Do not submerge the multi-cooker or the lid in
water.
NOTE: To remove odor from the inside of the lid, clean it with water and
vinegar (1:1 ratio).
4. Remove the condensation reservoir by pulling it down. Wash with warm,
soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Replace by pushing it back into
place.

5. Turn the lid upside down; grip the silicone gasket and pull up to remove.
Clean the silicone gasket with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Replace the gasket by positioning it inside the edge of the lid and pushing
it down. Make sure the groove in the center of the gasket is positioned
around the metal ring on the inside edge of the lid.
NOTE: The silicone gasket must always be properly positioned on the
underside of the lid; otherwise the unit will not work. Check periodically to
make sure that it is clean, flexible, and not cracked or torn. (See "Getting
Started" section in this manual.)
6. If the silicone gasket appears damaged, cracked or torn, do not use the
unit and contact the Fagor Customer Service Department at 1-800-207-
0806 or visit the Fagor website to purchase a new silicone gasket at www.
fagoramerica.com.
7. For optimal performance, the inside of the cooker, in the area under the
removable cooking pot where the temperature sensor and heating pad are
located, must be cleaned after each use. Wipe with a soft damp cloth and
be sure to dry thoroughly.
8. Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to clean any of the parts.
Cleaning the Pressure Regular Knob
ALWAYS check that the pressure regulator knob and the pressure safety
valves are in good working order before each use.
1. After the unit has cooled, remove the lid from the multi-cooker.
2. Press down and turn the pressure regulator knob counterclockwise past
STEAM to CLEAN and carefully lift to remove. Look through the removed
knob to make sure there is no particle build-up, and put it under running
water to clean.
3. Turn the lid over and place it on a table top. Pull out the anti-blocking case.
Using a brush or toothpick, check and remove any food or foreign particles
that may be lodged in the pressure discharging tube that is located inside
the anti-block cover. Replace the anti-blocking case pressing it down back
into place.
4. Replace the pressure regulator knob by lining the CLEAN dot with the dot
on the lid of the unit and turning clockwise until it goes into place. The dot
on the base of the pressure regulator should line up with the PRESSURE
or STEAM setting on the pressure regulator knob. If it doesn't, remove the
knob again and try realigning the dots the other way around.
