1. Pressure Regulating Knob: Turn the regulating knob to the "Pressure"
position when cooking under pressure or when using any of the rice cooking
functions. Turn the knob to the "Steam" position to release the pressure after
pressure cooking or rice cooking and when using the STEAM function. When
using the SLOW COOKER or KEEP WARM functions, be sure to turn the
pressure regulating knob to the "Steam" position and not to the "Pressure"
position.
2. Self-Locking Pin: The lid will lock automatically when the lid is properly
aligned and closed. While cooking under pressure you will not be able to open
the lid until all of the pressure is released.
3. Cool-Touch Handles: The cool to the touch handles of the Multi-cooker
allows for easy handling and opening of the lid.
4. Floating Valve: The safety-floating valve controls the amount of pressure
inside the cooker by allowing excess pressure to be released.
5. Silicone Gasket: Creates an airtight seal needed for the cooker to build up
pressure. Check the silicone gasket for any tears or cracks before using the
pressure cooking, slow cooking, or any of the rice cooking functions. To order
a new gasket, please contact a Fagor Representative at 1-800-207-0806 or
purchase it directly on the Fagor website at www.fagoramerica.com.
6. Safety Pressure Valve: The safety pressure valve allows excess pressure to
escape from the cooker when it is being used for pressure cooking. It works
independently of the floating valve.
7. Anti-Blocking Case: Pull it towards yourself to release the pressure regulator
knob for cleaning.
8. Condensation Reservoir: Collects excess condensation during cooking. If
there is some liquid in the reservoir after cooking, simply empty it.
9. Heating Element and Temperature Sensor: Both elements regulate the
cooking temperature inside the pot.
10. Removable Cooking Pot: Ceramic 8 quart pot with non-stick coating;
dishwasher safe pot, but hand washing is always recommended.
11. Stationary Pot: This pot cannot be removed from the electric multi-cooker
and should NEVER be used for cooking. Before cooking, make sure to place
the removable cooking pot into the stationary pot first. All ingredients should
be placed into the removable cooking pot ONLY.
12. Control Panel: The easy to use controls allow you to select the different
programs available with a touch of a finger. Available for selection are: two
pressure cooking settings, two slow cooking settings, white rice, brown rice,
risotto, brown, sauté, simmer, steam, yogurt, keep warm, time delay, start/
stop and a plus and minus button to adjust cooking time and time delay. Also,
on the control panel you will find the HIGH and LOW indicator lights which will
blink while pressure or temperature is building. These three lights will go solid
once the unit has reached proper pressure or temperature.
13. Inner Cover: Remove the inner cover by lifting it upward until it releases from
the lid.
14. Inner Cover Holder: Keeps the inner cover in place once the inner cover is
reattached.
