7.Pressure Lock: The yellow pressure lock allows you to lock the pressure cooker in order to build pressure when the lid is closed. To lock the pressure cooker, slide the pressure lock button up towards the lid. (Fig. 6).

To unlock, slide the lock down towards the end of the handle.

For safety reasons, the unit will not build pressure if the pressure lock has not been pushed to the closed position. This measure guarantees that the cooker will never open while it’s under pressure.

8.Silicone Gasket: In order to provide an air-tight seal, a silicone gasket is positioned around the underside of the lid. Never use the pressure cooker without the silicone gasket properly positioned. Do not use the pressure cooker with a worn or torn gasket, which should be replaced immediately. Contact the Fagor Customer Service Department at: 1-800-207-0806 or email at: info@fagoramerica.com. You can also purchase a gasket online at www.fagoramerica.com.

9.Safety valve: Located under the lid, the safety valve is activated in case of an excess pressure buildup (Fig.3). The pressure cooker cannot be opened if there is still pressure inside the cooker.

10.Thermo Heat Conductive Base: Since the objective of a pressure cooker is rapid cooking, the bottom of the pressure cooker pot has a thermo heat conductive base, comprised of three layers of metal. The first layer is stainless steel, which is safe for contact with food. In view of the fact that aluminum should not be in contact with food and it does not have magnetic properties, the aluminum middle layer is sandwiched between the two outer layers. Aluminum is the best heat conductor and therefore provides faster and more even heat distribution. The last layer is stainless steel with magnetic properties, making the pressure cooker compatible with induction cooking.

11.Pressure Indicator: The pressure indicator is the yellow tipped rod, located on top of the lid handle. It indicates whether there is pressure inside the cooker. As the pressure cooker heats and pressure builds, the pressure indicator will rise automatically producing a slight amount of steam that escapes from the lid handle. (Fig.

13)If the pressure indicator is raised, there is pressure inside the cooker and the pressure cooker cannot be opened. The pressure lock on the lid will be blocked and will not slide to the open position. If the pressure indicator is not raised, there is no pressure inside the cooker, and you can safely open the lid.

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. 14). The cutout in the handle of the pressure
