Thank you for purchasing a Fagor
Pressure Cooker. We appreciate the
confidence you have placed in our com-
pany by selecting one of our pressure
cookers, and we are confident that it will
give you many years of excellent service.
Surrounded by endless myths, pressure
cookers are probably the least understood
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 it normally would
take, in most cases, cooking in 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
many of the vital minerals and vitamins
that are normally washed away when
cooking in a large quantities of water in an
open pot, for longer periods of time.
Made from high quality, heavy-gauge,
18/10 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 more simple than ever to
determine the proper amount of pressure
and how to maintain it, as the pressure
release valves signal when to lower or
raise the burner heat in order to maintain
the level of pressure desired.
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.
Before you begin cooking, it is
important that you read this detailed
user’s manual and make sure you
understand how to operate, care for
and maintain your Fagor Pressure
Cooker so you will be able to enjoy
many years of use.
