1. Please make sure children do not have access to or reach the pressure cooker while

cooking.

2. Never use the pressure cooker with a worn or torn gasket. Inspect the gasket before

every use to make sure it is pliable and does not have any cracks or tears. If you need

to replace it, see the Care and Cleaning section of this manual for instructions.

3. To reduce the risk of burns or spills, the lid and pot handle should be positioned so

that it is turned inward towards the back of the stove, and does not extend over

adjacent surface units or overhang over the edge of the stove top.

4. While cooking with the Fagor pressure cooker, please make sure the safety vent

points towards the back of the stove and away from you. This will reduce the risk of

burns in the event the safety vent is triggered to release excess pressure.

5. It is very important that the pressure cooker is not filled over two thirds of its capacity

with food and liquid. If you’re cooking grains or foods that expand during cooking, do

not fill the cooker more than half full. Too much steam might be produced if the unit

is too full with food and liquid.

6. Before cooking make sure that the gasket is in good condition and in place, and that

the operating valve is free of food particles that could clog it up. See the instructions

found in this manual for more detailed instructions.

7. Make sure the pressure cooker has been properly closed before cooking. The handles

should be aligned and the lid should glide easily back and forth. If the lid is not closed

and locked securely in place, the pressure cooker will not build pressure.

8. After releasing the pressure from the pressure cooker, open the lid towards the back

of your stove since there may be some steam still inside the cooker.

9. Caution: do not use the pressure cooker on an outdoor LP gas burner or commercial

ranges. This pressure cooker is for household use ONLY.

10. Pressure cookers are not to be used for medical purposes, such as sterilizers, as

pressure cookers are not designed to reach the temperatures necessary for complete

sterilization.

11. Do not allow anyone who is not familiar with the instructions to use the cooker.
