Fagor uCook Pressure Cooker
COMPONENTS AND FEATURES
1. Pressure Cooker Pot: 6qt size.
Made of high-quality, heavy-gauge,
18/10 stainless steel, all cooking
takes place in the pressure cooker
pot.
2.
Pressure Cooker Lid: Made of
high-quality, heavy gauge, 18/10
stainless steel, the lid must be
properly locked in position in order to
build-up sufficient pressure for
cooking. The raised indentation on
top of the lid, located to the left of the
handle, allows you to easily position
the lid by lining it up to the cutout on
top of the base handle.

4. Support grip: The support grip
provides greater stability when moving
or carrying the pressure cooker.
5.
Lid handle: Used to remove the lid
from the pressure cooker, the lid
handle contains important
components vital to the use of the
pressure cooker.
IMPORTANT: Never carry the
pressure cooker by grabbing only
the lid handle.
6. Operating valve: (Fig. 2) The uCook
Pressure Cooker allows you to select
between 2 pressure settings, a
steam release position and an unlock
position in order to clean the valve.
When the cooker reaches pressure,
steam will come out through the
operating valve (the operating valve
is one of the safety features of the
pressure cooker). As soon as this
happens, slightly lower the heat to
maintain a gentle, steady stream of
steam.
7.
Handle lock: The pressure lock allows
you to open the pressure cooker once
all the pressure has been released by
sliding it towards you. The pressure
cooker cannot be opened if there is still
pressure inside the cooker.
8.
*9" Diameter Silicone Gasket: (Fig. 1;
Item 8) In order to provide an air-tight
seal, a silicone gasket is positioned
around the underside of the lid.
Never use the pressure cooker
without the gasket properly
positioned. Do not use the pressure
cooker with a worn or torn gasket. If
you notice the surface of the gasket
has become torn, or worn out, it
should be replaced immediately. You
can purchase a gasket online at

*Please be sure to request a 9"
gasket for this particular model, as
they do come in different sizes.
9.
Safety Vent: (Fig. 13) In case of
high-pressure build-up, steam will be
released through the safety vent
cutout located in the rim of the lid.
