Care And Cleaning; Maintenance For Safe Use - Fagor uCOOK Manual De Usuario

4. After all the pressure has been
released and you see the pressure
indicator has lowered, slide the pres-
sure lock towards you and slide the
lid handle to the right holding the base
handle with your left hand. Even though
you have already released the pressu-
re, be sure to open the pressure cooker
lid away from your face since there may
be intense cooking steam inside the
unit and very hot water condensation
collected in the lid.

CARE AND CLEANING

1. The uCook Pressure cooker set is
made of high-quality, heavy gauge,
18/10 stainless steel.
2. All components should be washed
with warm water,mild, dish-washing
soap and a non-abrasive cleaning pad,
since stainless steel can discolor in a
dishwasher. Since the exterior of the
pressure cooker pots and lid have a
mirror finish, do not clean with metal
scouring pads or abrasive cleaners,
which will scratch and ruin the finish.
Wash the lid with water and towel dry.
3. To remove stubborn stains and any
discoloration in the interior of the pres-
sure 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 natura-
lly, 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 each use
and wash with warm water and mild,
dish-washing soap. Rinse and dry well,
then cover with a thin coat of vegeta-
ble oil before replacing.
6. To store, DO NOT LOCK THE LID
IN PLACE. Simply place the lid
upside-down on top of the pressure
cooker pot.

MAINTENANCE FOR SAFE USE

1. Each time, before using the uCook
Pressure Cooker, always check to
make sure that the operating valve is
clean and free of any built-up parti-
cles.
• To do so, move the operating valve
to the position shown in (fig. 7)
Now turn a little harder to move the
operating valve to the unlock position
(picture of a circle with a line through
it), and pull it gently upwards to remo-
ve it from its socket (see Fig.12).
Clean with water.
