Thank you for purchasing a Fagor Pressure Cooker. We appreciate the confidence you have
placed in our company by selecting one of our many pressure cookers. We are confident 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 traditional
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 flavor, as well as vital minerals and vitamins that are normally
evaporated or diluted when cooking in large quantities of water, for longer 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 pressure 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 temperatures 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 efficient 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.
