Troubleshooting

In order to ensure best results when using the Fagor Elite pressure cooker, be certain to read all of the instructions and safety tips contained in this owner’s manual and all other printed materials provided by the manufacturer. The following are practical tips and solutions to some common problems you may experience when using the Fagor Elite pressure cooker.

PROBLEM:

The lid got jammed while trying to slide it closed, and will not open or close.

 

 

REASON:

If the instructions in the “Closing the Lid and Cooking” section of this manual were

 

not followed carefully, the lid might get jammed while trying to close it.

 

 

SOLUTION:

If there is some resistance when attempting to slide the lid closed, do not force it.

 

Stop, slide it back, lift the lid and try aligning the marks again as described in the

 

“Closing the Lid and Cooking” section of this manual.

 

If the lid jams, never try to force it closed. To un-jam try sliding the lid open again.

 

If you cannot open it, please contact the Fagor Customer Service Department at:

 

1-800-207-0806 or email at: info@fagoramerica.com.

 

 

PROBLEM:

There is water leaking from the lower handle while the cooker is building

 

pressure.

 

 

REASON:

While the pressure cooker is building pressure, a little water might drip from around

 

the area of the pressure lock on the pot handle. The water comes from steam

 

condensed on the inside of the lid. The dripping will stop when the pressure cooker

 

reaches full pressure. However, if it’s a continuous leak, or does not stop after

 

pressure has been reached, it might be for one of the following reasons:

 

1. The nuts and screws on the handle have loosened.

 

2. The gasket has not been oiled.

 

 

SOLUTION:

1. Make sure the lower handle is screwed tight to the pot before using the

 

pressure cooker or after the all pressure has been released. Tighten the screws

 

with a screwdriver if necessary.

 

2. Make sure you wash and dry your gasket after every use, and oil it regularly.

PROBLEM: Pressure does not build up (the visual pressure indicator does not pop up after more than 5 minutes on high heat).

REASON: 1. There is not enough liquid.

2.The pressure cooker was not properly closed.

3.The valve is dirty and/or obstructed.

4.The silicone gasket is not in place, or is dirty or worn.

5.The operating valve is not in the correct position.

SOLUTION: 1. Always use the appropriate amount of liquid called for in the recipe. This amount should never be less than ½ cup. However, never fill the pressure cooker more than half full with liquids.

2.Following the instructions given in this manual, close the pressure cooker so that a tight seal is created, which will allow for adequate pressure build-up.

3.The valve can become dirty when cooking foods such as dried beans which have a tendency to foam. Clean the valve periodically.

4.Make sure the silicone gasket is clean and well positioned before using the pressure cooker. After continued use, the silicone gasket will begin to wear and should be replaced at least once a year if the pressure cooker is used frequently.

5.Make sure the operating valve has been turned to the pressure setting (the picture of a pot). The pressure cooker will not build up pressure if the operating valve is turned to the steam release position (the picture of the steam).
