Make sure the unit is properly closed before operating. See “Pressure Cooker
Program”.
• Do not fill the unit over 2/3 full. When cooking foods that expand, such as rice
or dried vegetables, do not fill the unit more than 1/2 full. Over filling may result
in clogging the vent pipe and will not allow enough room for proper building of
pressure. See “Operating Functions”.
• The following foods tend to foam, froth and/or sputter: applesauce, cranberries,
pearl barley, oatmeal, split peas, noodles/pasta, rhubarb, etc. These items may
block the pressure valve if filled too high in the removable cooking pot. Please be
sure when pressure cooking these items to not fill the removable cooking pot more
than half way.
• Always check the pressure release devices for clogging before use.

completely. This allows the pressure to drop naturally without turning the pressure
regulator knob to STEAM. This will take several minutes, during which the food
inside will continue cooking. Some recipes (such as risotto) benefit from this extra
cooking time. You will know when the pressure has been released because the
floating valve will drop and you will be able to open the lid.
12. Once all the pressure is released, remove the lid by turning it clockwise, lifting it
up and tilting it away from yourself to avoid getting burnt by any remaining steam
or hot water condensation dripping from the inner portion of the lid.
WARNING: AFTER COOKING, THE REMOVABLE COOKING POT WILL BE HOT.
USE POT HOLDERS, OVEN MITTS OR A KITCHEN TOWEL TO HANDLE IT OR
LET IT COOL DOWN BEFORE REMOVING.

Pressure Cooking Seafood: To achieve best results when cooking seafood, please
refer to the below tips and hints:
1. Always leave at least 2 inches of head space in the removable pot to prevent
overflowing.
2. Smaller types of seafood, such as clams and shrimp, do not take long to cook,
therefore, it’s best to add these types of seafood to a dish during the last few
minutes of cooking.

Yogurt Function
You only need two ingredients to make yogurt at home: any type of milk and plain
store-bought yogurt (with live active cultures) or starter yogurt.
Choosing the Milk:
The following types of milk may be used:
1. Pasteurized milk of any fat content (full, 2%, 1% or skim milk)
2. Powdered milk
3. Long-life UHT sterilized milk
4. Soy Milk. Be sure to use UHT soy milk, which contains one of the following
ingredients: fructose, honey or malt. These ingredients are necessary for
fermentation and you will not succeed if none are available in the milk.
Live Active Cultures-Unflavored Yogurt:
All you need is a small amount of plain, unflavored yogurt with live active cultures,
often called probiotics. The plain yogurt can either be purchased from a store or used
from a previous batch of homemade yogurt. Homemade yogurt can only be used a
maximum of 2 times as starter yogurt. If you use the store bought yogurt and prefer a
particular brand, try using that one as a starter.
The Live & Active Culture seal, from the National Yogurt Association (NYA), helps you
recognize those products containing significant amounts of live and active cultures.
The seal is a voluntary identification available to all manufacturers of yogurt whose
products contain at least 100 million cultures per gram at the time of manufacture.
Since the seal program is voluntary, some yogurt products may have some live
cultures but not carry the seal.
NOTE: For 5 cups of milk use ½ cup of plain yogurt or 1 packet starter culture.
For 1 cup of milk use about one tablespoon of plain yogurt.
NOTE: You can make yogurt either directly in the removable cooking pot or using
glass jars in the removable cooking pot by placing them in the steamer.

Helpful Hints and Tips:
• The probiotics and live active cultures are strongest when the yogurt is fresh. For
the best results, only use the same starter yogurt 2 times max. After a few days, the
probiotics in the previous batch can weaken and the yogurt may result in a liquid
consistency.
• You may choose to make flavored yogurt and add sugar, honey, flavorings, fruit, or
other ingredients to taste just prior to eating.
• For best results and ease of preparation, use whole or semi-skimmed UHT milk or
reconstituted milk powder. They don’t need to be heated or cooled down.
• The “best before” date for natural yogurts will be 7 days after the yogurt was made,
depending on the freshness of the milk. When in doubt, use the expiration date on
your milk as a guideline.
Greek Yogurt
1. Place a strainer or a cheese cloth inside a container so the strainer doesn’t touch
the bottom of the container to allow for better drainage.
2. Pour the homemade yogurt into the the strainer or cheese cloth and cover. Put it
in the refrigerator to strain and chill for at least 2 hours. The longer the time, the
thicker the yogurt becomes.
3. Gently remove yogurt from strainer or cheese cloth by turning the strainer or
cheese cloth upside down on a plate or container.
4. Put it back in the refrigerator to chill for another few hours before serving.

completely. This allows the pressure to drop naturally without turning the pressure
regulator knob to STEAM. This will take several minutes, during which the food
inside will continue cooking. Some recipes (such as quinoa) benefit from this
extra cooking time. You will know when the pressure has been released because
the floating valve will drop and you will be able to open the lid.
11. Once all the pressure is released, remove the lid by turning it clockwise, lifting it
up and tilting it away from yourself to avoid getting burnt by any remaining steam
or hot water condensation dripping from the inner portion of the lid.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Do not wash any parts of the multi-cooker in the dishwasher except for the removable
cooking pot. Always wash the removable cooking pot thoroughly after every use, or if it
has not been used for an extended period of time.
1. Unplug the multi-cooker and let the unit cool before cleaning.
2. Remove the removable cooking pot and wash with warm soapy water or in the
dishwasher. Hand washing is always recommended. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
3. Wipe the body of the unit with a clean damp cloth and rinse the lid with warm water
and soap. Do not submerge the multi-cooker or the lid in water.
NOTE: To remove odor from the inside of the lid, clean it with water and vinegar
(1:1 ratio).
4. Remove the condensation reservoir by pulling it down. Wash with warm, soapy
water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Replace by pushing it back into place.
5. Turn the lid upside down; grip the silicone gasket and pull up to remove. Clean
the silicone gasket with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Replace the
gasket by positioning it inside the edge of the lid and pushing it down. Make sure
the groove in the center of the gasket is positioned around the metal ring on the
inside edge of the lid.
NOTE: The silicone gasket must always be properly positioned on the underside of the
lid; otherwise the unit will not work. Check periodically to make sure that it is clean,
flexible, and not cracked or torn. (See “Getting Started” section in this manual.)
6. If the silicone gasket appears damaged, cracked or torn, do not use the unit and
contact the Fagor Customer Service Department at 1-800-207-0806 or visit the
Fagor website to purchase a new silicone gasket at www.fagoramerica.com.
7. For optimal performance, the inside of the cooker, in the area under the removable
cooking pot where the temperature sensor and heating pad are located, must be
cleaned after each use. Wipe with a soft damp cloth and be sure to dry thoroughly.
8. Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to clean any of the parts.
Cleaning the Pressure Regular Knob
ALWAYS check that the pressure regulator knob and the pressure safety valves are in
good working order before each use.
1. After the unit has cooled, remove the lid from the multi-cooker.
2. Press down and turn the pressure regulator knob counterclockwise past STEAM to
CLEAN and carefully lift to remove. Look through the removed knob to make sure
there is no particle build-up, and put it under running water to clean.
3. Turn the lid over and place it on a table top. Pull out the anti-blocking case. Using
a brush or toothpick, check and remove any food or foreign particles that may be
lodged in the pressure discharging tube that is located inside the anti-block cover.
Replace the anti-blocking case pressing it down back into place.
4. Replace the pressure regulator knob by lining the CLEAN dot with the dot on the
lid of the unit and turning clockwise until it goes into place. The dot on the base of
the pressure regulator should line up with the PRESSURE or STEAM setting on the
pressure regulator knob. If it doesn’t, remove the knob again and try realigning the
dots the other way around.
