Introduction
Thank you for purchasing a Fagor Pressure Cooker. We appreciate the confi dence you
have placed in our company by selecting one of our many pressure cookers. We are con-
fi dent that the pressure cooker will give you many years of excellent service.
Surrounded by endless myths, pressure cookers are probably the least understood of
cookware. This is unfortunate since pressure cookers provide many advantages over tra-
ditional cooking. First and foremost, most foods can be cooked in a fraction of the time, in
most cases up to one third of the time. Since the food is being cooked for such a shorter
period, it is less likely to lose its color and fl avor, as well as vital minerals and vitamins
that are normally evaporated or diluted when cooking in large quantities of water, for lon-
ger periods of time. Made from high-quality, heavy-gauge stainless steel, Fagor pressure
cookers are manufactured and designed with a concern for function and safety, meeting
all international safety standards. Fagor’s easy-to-use pressure regulators make it simpler
than ever to determine the proper amount of pressure and how to maintain it. The pres-
sure release valves signal when to lower or raise the burner heat in order to maintain the
desired level of pressure. We know that once you begin using your Fagor Pressure Cooker,
you’ll understand why it is the single most important piece of cookware you’ll ever own.
Today people are more conscious of the food and products they consume that affect
the environment.Fagor recognizes consumer demand for more eco-friendly products and
manufacturing processes. Fagor pressure cookers are made of partially recycled stainless
steel and are polished using only mechanical procedures instead of chemical. In addition
to being manufactured in a more environmentally respectful way, pressure cookers save
you energy in the kitchen too. Compared to traditional cooking methods, cooking with
a pressure cooker saves up to 70% cooking time. And less time spent cooking means
less energy used, and less heat produced in the kitchen. Also, cooking at high tempe-
ratures and high speed retains essential vitamins and nutrients, bringing you healthier
meals. Using Fagor pressure cookers will not only make a difference in your health, but a
difference in our world. This may be the most effi cient piece of cookware in your kitchen.
Before you begin cooking, it is important that you read this detailed user’s manual and
make sure you understand how to operate, care and maintain your Fagor Pressure Cooker
so that you will be able to enjoy many years of use.
