position (Fig. 17) and the steam will be released automatically.

Figure 17

WARNING: The steam coming out of the pressure valve will be very hot, and might disperse some droplets of hot water. Do not place your hands directly over the jet

of steam, and make sure it is not directed towards anything that can be damaged by the heat. Once the steam has totally been released and the pressure indicator has dropped, go to #4 in this section.

2.Natural Release Method: To use this method, remove the pressure cooker from the hot burner and let the pressure drop and cool down naturally. Depending on the amount of food and liquid

in the cooker, this method can take from 10-15 minutes. Once pressure has totally been released and there isn’t any more steam coming out of the operating valve, go to # 4 in this section.

3.Cold Water Release Method: this method is used to release pressure as quickly as possible, and is primarily used for vegetables, seafood and other tender foods that can quickly overcook. To use this method, remove the pressure cooker from

14

the burner, place in the sink and run tap water gently over the lid until steam dissipates and the pressure indicator is lowered. Please caution that you will need to tilt the pressure cooker toward the sink when running water over the pressure cooker as to prevent the water from entering into the Operating Valve, (#6 on the Chef component list) which might cause water

to leak into your food.

iMPORTANT! PLEAsE NOTE: When using the quick release method, always run mild temperature tap water at a gentle flow over the metal portion of the pressure cooker lid. Remember to remove the timer and never direct the faucet directly onto the pressure valve located on upper handle. (Figure 18)

Figure 18

WARNING: By disregarding this advice and deploying a strong cold water stream directly onto the pressure valve, you will create the risk of sudden drop in pressure inside the cooker, which can result in steam being suddenly ejected

from under the pressure cooker lid. This steam is extremely hot and can potentially cause serious burns. When putting the cooker in the sink, tilt it so the cold water will run down the sides of the cooker. Once the pressure has been released completely and the pressure indicator has dropped, go to step # 4 in this section.

NEVER IMMERSE THE PRESSURE

COOKER IN WATER (Fig 18).

4.After all the pressure has been released and you see the pressure indicator has lowered; slide the pressure cooker lock down to the bottom of the handle

(Fig 10). Hold the pot handle with your left hand and slide the lid handle to the right with your right hand. Even though you have already released the pressure, never open the pressure cooker towards your face since there may be intense cooking steam still inside the unit. To avoid the risk of scalding, let the droplets of condensed water drip back from the lid into the cooker.

5.Opening during cooking. If you should need to open the pressure cooker during the cooking

process, it must be depressurized first as described in this section. We recommend using 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 with a kitchen towel or mitt. 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 Chef 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 (Fig 11). Please make sure to remove the timer before washing the pressure cooker cooktop. Since the exterior of the pressure cooker has a mirror finish, if
