Fagor America Pressure Cooker Manual & Replacement Parts Guide

ENGLISH

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 DUO 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.

Cleaning the Operating Valve

After every use, check to make sure that the operating valve is clear of any built-up particles. To do so, move the operating valve to the position shown in Fig. 11 and remove the valve (see detailed instructions below). Clean it by running water through it. Next, lift the lid up to the light and look through the hole under the operating valve. Make sure you can see through it and there are no food particles blocking it. If necessary, clean it with a small brush or pipe cleaner.

TO REMOVE THE OPERATING VALVE FOR CLEANING PURPOSES:

1.Turn the operating valve to the release pressure position (picture of the steam, see Fig. 10).

2.Gently lift the operating valve upward, not more than a quarter of an inch (Fig. 15).
