Fagor uCook Pressure Cooker

COMPONENTS AND FEATURES

1. Pressure Cooker Pot: 6qt size .
Made of high-quality, heavy-gauge,
18/10 stainless steel, all cooking takes
place in the pressure cooker pot.
2. Pressure Cooker Lid: Made of
high-quality, heavy gauge, stainless
steel, the lid must be properly locked
in position in order to build-up sufficient
pressure for cooking. The raised inden-
tation on top of the lid, located to the
left of the handle, allows you to easily
position the lid by lining it up to the
cutout on top of the base handle.
3. Pressure Cooker pot handle .
4. Support grip: The support grip pro-
vides greater stability when moving or
carrying the pressure cooker.
5. Lid handle: Used to remove the lid
from the pressure cooker, the lid han-
dle contains important components
vital to the use of the pressure cooker.

IMPORTANT:

Never
pressure cooker by grabbing only
the lid handle .
6. Operating valve: (Fig . 2) The uCook
Pressure Cooker allows you to select
between 2 pressure settings, a steam
release position and an unlock position
in order to clean the valve.
When the cooker reaches pressu-
re, steam will come out through the
operating valve (the operating valve
is one of the safety features of the
pressure cooker). As soon as this
happens, slightly lower the heat to
maintain a gentle, steady stream of
steam.
7. Handle lock: The pressure lock allows
you to open the pressure cooker once
all the pressure has been released by
sliding it towards you. The pressure
cooker cannot be opened if there is still
pressure inside the cooker.
8. *9" Diameter Silicone Gasket: (Fig .
1; Item 8) In order to provide an air-
tight seal, a silicone gasket is positio-
ned around the underside of the lid.
Never use the pressure cooker without
the gasket properly positioned. Do
not use the pressure cooker with a
worn or torn gasket. If you notice the
surface of the gasket has become
torn, or worn out, it should be repla-
ced immediately. You can purchase a
gasket online at www.fagoramerica.

9. Safety Vent: (Fig . 13) In case of high-
pressure build-up, steam will be relea-
sed through the safety vent cutout
located in the rim of the lid.
