7. Pressure Lock: The purple pressure
lock allows you to lock the pressure
cooker in order to build-up pressure
when the lid is closed. To lock the
pressure cooker, slide the pressure
lock button up towards the lid (fig. 7).
8. Rubber gasket: In order to provide
an air-tight seal, a rubber gasket is
positioned around the underside of
the lid. Never use the pressure
cooker without the rubber gasket
properly positioned. Do not use the
pressure cooker with a worn or torn
gasket. It should be replaced
immediately. Contact the Fagor
Customer Service Department at: 1-

9. Safety Vent: In case of high-pressure
build-up, steam will be released
through the safety vent cutout located
in the rim of the lid. (fig.4).
10. Safety Valve: Located under the lid
handle. Safety valve is activated in
case of an excess pressure build up.
The pressure cooker cannot be
opened if there is still pressure
inside the cooker.
11. Thermo Heat Conductive Base:
Since the objective of a pressure
cooker is rapid cooking, the bottom of
the pressure cooker pot has a thermo
heat conductive base, comprised of
three layers of metal. Aluminum, one
of the fastest heat conductors, is
sandwiched between two sheets of
stainless steel which makes contact
with the burner and does not contain
any magnetic elements. This allows
for induction cooking.
12. Pressure Indicator: Indicates
whether there is pressure inside the
cooker. As the pressure cooker heats
and pressure builds, the pressure
indicator (the yellow tipped rod,
located on top of the lid handle) will
raise automatically producing a slight
amount of steam coming out of the lid
handle. (fig. 12). If the pressure
indicator is raised, there is pressure
inside the cooker and the pressure
cooker cannot be opened. If the
pressure indicator is not raised, there
is no pressure inside the cooker.
