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

8.Rubber gasket: In order to provide an air-tight seal, a rubber gasket is positioned around the underside of the lid. Never use the pressure cooker without the rubber gasket properly positioned. Do not use the pressure cooker with a worn or torn gasket. It should be replaced immediately. Contact the Fagor Customer Service Department at: 1-

9.Safety Vent: In case of high-pressure build-up, steam will be released through the safety vent cutout located in the rim of the lid. (fig.4).

11.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. Aluminum, one of the fastest heat conductors, is sandwiched between two sheets of stainless steel which makes contact with the burner and does not contain any magnetic elements. This allows for induction cooking.

12.Pressure Indicator: Indicates whether there is pressure inside the cooker. As the pressure cooker heats and pressure builds, the pressure indicator (the yellow tipped rod, located on top of the lid handle) will raise automatically producing a slight amount of steam coming out of the lid handle. (fig. 12). If the pressure indicator is raised, there is pressure inside the cooker and the pressure cooker cannot be opened. If the pressure indicator is not raised, there is no pressure inside the cooker.

10.Safety Valve: Located under the lid handle. Safety valve is activated in case of an excess pressure build up. The pressure cooker cannot be opened if there is still pressure inside the cooker.
