the automatic release method for this purpose, as this method will cool down your pressure cooker the least, hence aiding to build pressure again faster to continue cooking. The lid will be hot, so be careful when opening and closing it; to reduce the risk of burns, only touch the handles. Remember that you are interrupting the cooking process by opening the cooker; when you continue cooking, you must adjust the remaining cooking time and set the timer accordingly.

6.Never force the cooker open. It may only be opened if the pressure indicator has dropped into its socket completely and no more steam escapes when the safety lock is moved to the open position.

Care and Cleaning

1.The Fagor RAPIDA Pressure Cooker is made of high-quality, heavy gauge, 18/10 stainless steel.

2.The pressure cooker pot is dishwasher safe, but the lid should be washed by hand with warm water, mild, dishwashing soap and a nonabrasive cleaning pad. Since the exterior of the pressure cooker has a mirror finish, if you wash it by hand do not use metal scouring pads or abrasive cleaners, which will scratch and possibly ruin the finish.

3.To remove stubborn stains and any discoloration in the interior of the pressure cooker, try adding the juice of half a lemon and 1 to 2 cups of water to the pressure cooker pot. Cook at high pressure for 15 minutes, then remove from heat. Let pressure release naturally, then wash as usual.

4.After cleaning, towel dry with a clean, soft kitchen cloth to retain the polished mirror finish.

5.In order to extend the life of the silicone gasket, remove after every use and wash with warm water and mild, dish washing soap. Rinse and dry well, then cover with a thin coat of vegetable oil before replacing. For increased safety and best results, the silicone gasket should be replaced approximately every 12-15 months, depending on the usage. You can order a new gasket by calling Fagor Customer Service Number at: 1-800-207-0806, or by going to the online shop section of our website: www.fagoramerica.com.

6.To store, DO NOT LOCK THE LID IN PLACE. Simply place the lid upside down on top of the pressure cooker pot. This will avoid the risk of a vacuum forming inside the cooker during storage, which would make the opening of the lid difficult. It will also prevent stale odors from forming inside the cooker.

7.Before using the Fagor RAPIDA pressure cooker, always check the handles, the base handle, support grip, and the lid handle to make sure that they are securely screwed in place. If not, tighten the handle screws with a screwdriver.

8.Replacement Parts: Only use authentic replacement parts manufactured and distributed by Fagor America, Inc. The use of any unauthorized parts and or attachments may cause unit failure and will void any warranty protection provided by the manufacturer. You can order spare parts by calling Fagor Customer Service Number at: 1-800-207-0806, or by going to the online shop section of our website: www.fagoramerica.com.
