Fagor FUTURE. GAMAS: 4, 6, 8, 10: IV MAINTENANCE

12

The times indicated are meant only as a guideline. You 

should adjust them to suit your personal tastes, cooking 

style and ingredients, etc.

» It is best to soak lentils, chickpeas and haricot beans 

etc. before cooking.

»  You do not need to defrost frozen pulses or small fi sh. 

Increase cooking time by a few minutes when cooking 

large fi sh and frozen meat.

» Frothy soups (e.g. pea soup, etc.) should be fi rst cooked 

with the lid off. Before closing the lid remove the froth 

with a skimmer.

» You do not need to worry about water evaporation as 

only a very small amount of vapour actually escapes.

» Brown meat a little more than normal as the vapour 

tends to lighten the colour. Cooking times will depend 

on its thickness and quality.

» Clean fi sh well, squeeze a little lemon juice over the top 

and season immediately before cooking.

6. DECOMPRESSION. 

There are several ways

of reducing the pressure:

6.1

  Quick decompression. Place the pressure 

cooker under the extractor hood or take it 

outside. Then turn the valve to (Fig.3.2).

6.2

 Quick decompression by cooling.

Pour a little cold water over a corner of the lid until the 

orange indicator drops. Never submerge the pressure 

cooker in water, as this is very dangerous.

6.3

 Natural decompression.

If you let the pressure cooker cool down in the position you 

have cooked the food in, take this extra time into account 

when calculating the cooking times.

7. OPENING THE PRESSURE COOKER. 

Move 

the open-close selector to the open position and 

turn the lid handle to the right holding the body 

handle in your left hand (fi g. 6).

1. 

After each use, wash the pan with hot soapy 

water and a soft cloth, rinse and dry. Take 

special care with the inside of the lid.

Do not use wire sponges or abrasive products as these 

could scratch the stainless steel coating.

2. 

 Clean the sealing gasket manually after each 

use.

IV  MAINTENANCE

3. 

 Check that the vapour outlets are clean and 

free from obstructions.

4. 

Safety valve. Before each use, press the 

sphere with a ballpoint pen to make sure it is 

not obstructed.

5. 

 Gasket. We recommend that you replace the 

gasket every 1 or 2 years, depending on the 

frequency of use.

IMPORTANT: Do not adjust parts or attempt to assemble

them in any way other than that indicated. ALWAYS USE

ORIGINAL SPARE PARTS.

1. 

 If the operating valve is blocked, turn off the 

heat, open the pressure cooker and clean the 

operating valve as described in point IV.3.

2. 

 No pressure is building up inside the pressure

cooker:

2.1

  The pressure cooker is not correctly clo-

sed. Close it again. See point III.3.

2.2

  No pressure has been selected. Select po-

sition 1 or 2/P/

. See points III.4.3 and 

III.4.4.

V  TROUBLESHOOTING

INFORMATION FOR THE 

CORRECT DISPOSAL 

OF ELECTRICAL AND 

ELECTRONIC APPLIANCES

At the end of its working life, the product must not 

be disposed of as urban waste.

It must be taken to a special local authority di-

fferentiated waste collection centre or to a dealer 

providing this service. Disposing of a household 

appliance separately avoids possible negative 

consequences for the environment and health 

deriving from inappropriate disposal and enables 

the constituent materials to be recovered to ob-

tain signifi  cant savings in energy and resources.
