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

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.

iMP ORTANT! 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)

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
