ENGLISH

12.Safety Vent: In case of high-pressure buildup, steam will be released through the safety vent cutout located in the rim of the lid (Fig. 4). The cutout in the handle of the pressure cooker is an emergency pressure release mechanism that should never become operative under normal use. If both pressure release valves become blocked due to over filling, for example, the pressure will tear the gasket and escape through this hole.

WARNING: Excess steam escaping through the hole will be very hot and might cause serious injuries. In the event the safety vent is triggered to releaseexcesspressure,alwaysplace the pressure cooker on the stove in such a position that the Safety Vent is not facing towards you or towards anything that could get damaged by the steam and sputtering liquid.

13.Stainless Steel Steamer Basket: The Fagor Elite Pressure Cooker comes with a stainless steel steamer basket. The basket is used for steaming foods under pressure without placing them directly in the cooking liquid.

14.Support trivet: For use with the steamer basket. The support rack

is placed below the steamer basket in the pressure cooker, to keep the contents of the steamer basket out of the cooking liquid.

Cooking with the Fagor Elite Pressure Cooker

NOTE: FAGOR PRESSURE COOKERS ARE INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD DOMESTIC COOKING SURFACES ONLY.

Before the First Use

To open the pressure cooker, pull the pressure lock towards the end of the handle (Fig. 5) and slide the lid handle to the right (counterclockwise) holding the base handle with your left hand, and lifting the lid.

Before using the Elite Pressure Cooker for the first time, wash all the parts and components with warm water and mild dishwashing soap. Rinse well and towel dry. The pressure cooker pot is dishwasher safe. Fagor America recommends hand washing the pressure cooker lid and all its components.

Always remove the gasket when washing the lid. Wash the gasket with warm, soapy water; rinse well and towel dry. Cover the gasket with a thin coat of cooking oil (e.g., vegetable, olive, canola, etc.). Follow this procedure every time you wash the pressure cooker in order to extend the life of the gasket and to facilitate locking the lid in place.
