the automatic release method for
this purpose, as this method will
cool down your pressure cooker the
least, hence aiding to build pressure
again faster to continue cooking. The
lid will be hot, so be careful when
opening and closing it; to reduce
the risk of burns, only touch the
handles. Remember that you are
interrupting the cooking process
by opening the cooker; when you
continue cooking, you must adjust
the remaining cooking time and set
the timer accordingly.
6. Never force the cooker open. It
may only be opened if the pressure
indicator has dropped into its socket
completely and no more steam
escapes when the safety lock is
moved to the open position.
Care and Cleaning
1. The Fagor RAPIDA Pressure Cooker
is made of high-quality, heavy gauge,
18/10 stainless steel.
2. The pressure cooker pot is
dishwasher safe, but the lid should
be washed by hand with warm
water, mild, dishwashing soap and a
nonabrasive cleaning pad. Since the
exterior of the pressure cooker has a
mirror finish, if you wash it by hand
do not use metal scouring pads or
abrasive cleaners, which will scratch
and possibly ruin the finish.
3. To remove stubborn stains and any
discoloration in the interior of the
pressure 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 naturally, 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 every
use and wash with warm water and
mild, dish washing soap. Rinse and
dry well, then cover with a thin coat
of vegetable oil before replacing. For
increased safety and best results, the
silicone gasket should be replaced
approximately every 12-15 months,
depending on the usage. You can
order a new gasket by calling Fagor

6. To store, DO NOT LOCK THE LID IN
PLACE. Simply place the lid upside
down on top of the pressure cooker
pot. This will avoid the risk of a
vacuum forming inside the cooker
during storage, which would make
the opening of the lid difficult. It will
also prevent stale odors from forming
inside the cooker.
7. Before using the Fagor RAPIDA
pressure cooker, always check the
handles, the base handle, support
grip, and the lid handle to make
sure that they are securely screwed
in place. If not, tighten the handle
screws with a screwdriver.
8.
