Frequently Asked Questions - Rapid Xpress 8 FAGOR

How to use the Rapid Xpress 8 pressure cooker for the first time?

Before first use, wash all parts with soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Ensure the sealing gasket is properly installed. Fill the cooker with at least 250 ml of liquid, close the lid aligning the markings, and lock the handle. Heat on high until the valve whistles, then reduce heat to maintain pressure.

What is the maximum filling capacity?

Never fill the cooker beyond 2/3 of its capacity. For foods that foam (dried legumes, rice), do not exceed half. The total capacity is 8 liters.

How to know when the pressure is reached?

When the pressure valve begins to whistle steadily and steam escapes from the valve, pressure is reached. You can then reduce heat to maintain cooking.

Does the cooker work on an induction hob?

Yes, the Fagor Rapid Xpress 8 cooker is compatible with all types of cooking, including induction, thanks to its adapted base. Check that the hob diameter matches the cooker's base.

How to clean the sealing gasket?

Remove the gasket after each use and wash it with warm soapy water. Do not put it in the dishwasher. Dry it thoroughly before replacing to avoid odors.

What to do if steam escapes through the lid during cooking?

This may indicate that the gasket is not properly installed or is worn. Check that the gasket is correctly in place and free of cracks. If the problem persists, replace the gasket. Also ensure the lid is properly locked.

Can the cooker be opened immediately after cooking?

No, never force the opening. Wait until the pressure has completely dropped. Use the quick pressure release valve if in a hurry, but following safety instructions.

Where to buy spare parts (gasket, valve)?

You can order spare parts directly from Fagor customer service or from specialized sites like notice-facile.com. The gasket and valve are common consumables.

Is the cooker covered by warranty?

Yes, the Fagor Rapid Xpress 8 cooker has a 2-year warranty against manufacturing defects. Keep your proof of purchase. The warranty does not cover normal wear of gaskets and valves.

Can foods be cooked without liquid in a pressure cooker?

No, it is essential to add at least 250 ml of liquid (water, broth, sauce) to generate steam and allow pressurization. Without liquid, the cooker may overheat and be damaged.

The Ground Truth image displays a single, solid horizontal line. According to Rule 2 (UNDERSCORE & LINE RULES), if the GT contains lines used for stylistic emphasis or as background elements (like ruled paper), the OCR result must ignore them. The provided OCR content is "____", which consists of four underscores. This is an incorrect interpretation of the line as a placeholder symbol, violating the rule that stylistic lines must be ignored. Therefore, the OCR output is inconsistent with the Ground Truth.

|| BASIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

» Read all the instructions.
» Keep a strict watch if the pressure cooker is used near children.
» Do not place the pressure cooker in a hot oven.
» Be extremely careful when moving your pressure cooker. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use handles and lid pommel. If necessary use gloves.
» Do not use the pressure cooker for anything other than its intended purpose. Never force the pressure cooker open. Ensure that the inside pressure has dropped completely.
» After cooking meat whose skin may swell under pressure (e.G. Ox tongue), do not prick the meat while the skin remains swollen as it may scald.
» Always shake the pan gently before opening when cooking doughy substances to avoid spattering.
» Never use the pressure cooker to fry with oil under pressure.
» Do not interfere with the safety systems except as described in the maintenance instructions in this users' manual.
» Use only original spare parts for the corresponding model.
» Never use abrasive detergents.

» Use a suitable size hotplate or gas burner equal to, or smaller than, the pan base. Overheating may blacken the stainless steel or result in brown or blue stains. These stains will disappear with normal cleaning.
» Never use the pressure cooker without first adding water as this could seriously damage your appliance.
» This appliance cooks food under high pressure. Incorrect use may result in burns. Ensure that the cooker is properly closed before heating. See section "how to use the pressure cooker".
» Never fill the pan to more than 2/3 of its capacity. When cooking elements that expand, such as rice and pulses, never fill the pan to more than halfway.
» Before each use, check that the valves are not obstructed. See section "maintenance".
» Keep these instructions for future reference.

III HOW TO USE THE PRESSURE COOKER

1. OPENING THE PRESSURE COOKER:

Move the button back and turn the lid to the right.

2. FILLING the pressure cooker:

» Never fill the pan to more than 2/3 of its capacity
» Always fi ll with a minimum amount of liquid, 200 ml.

Check that the vapour outlets are clean and free from obstructions. (Fig.8,9).

1. CLOSING THE LID. Place the lid in accordance with markings and turn to the left (automatic closure Fig.2.1 manual closure Fig.2.2).

4. SELECTING THE PRESSURE LEVEL.

4.1 Position for removing and placing the valve for cleaning. (Fig.3.1)

Before turning the lid to this position make sure no pressure has built up inside the pressure cooker. You can do this by holding the valve cap in decompression position, for example. See section III.4.2.

4.2 Position for removing all the pressure from inside the pressure cooker, after cooking. Pressure = 0 bar (Fig.3.2).
4.3 Average pressure level. The cooking times are slightly longer than in position 2. Use for soups, fi sh, puddings, etc. Pressure = 0.55 bar (Fig.3.3).
4.4 High pressure level. The cooking times are slightly shorter. Use for cooking meat, vegetables, pasta, etc. Pressure = 1.05 bar (Fig.3.4).

For further information, see the enclosed table in III.5

4.5 Select the cooking pressure:

5. FUNCTIONING UNDER PRESSURE.

» Place the pan on an appropriate-size hotplate or gas burner and turn to maximum.
» When the pressure indicator appears it means there is pressure inside the pressure cooker. (fi g.4)
» When a continual stream of vapour escapes from the working valve (fi g.5), reduce the heat just enough to maintain suffi cient pressure to ensure a steady vapour outlet
» The cooking time is measured from this point.

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.

1. 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.

1. 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).

IV MAINTENANCE

1. Do not use the pressure cooker to store food, before or after cooking. When you have finished cooking, wash it with hot water and non-abrasive detergent. Make sure there is no food residues stuck to the pressure cooker, as this could cause corrosion spots. Rinse and dry it.
2. Take special care on washing the inside of the lid.
3. The pressure cooker lid is not dishwasher-safe. The body and accessories (glass lid, basket, etc.) are washable but must be dried as soon as the cycle ends.
4. On cooking, bluish stains may appear on the stainless steel. To remove them, use warm

water with a dash of vinegar and rub with a soft cloth. The white marks caused by scale can be removed in the same way.

1. We recommend you add salt at the end of the cooking process, to reduce its impact on the stainless steel.

Do not use wire sponges or abrasive products as these could scratch the stainless steel coating.

1. Clean the sealing gasket manually after each use.
2. Check that the vapour outlets are clean and free from obstructions.
3. Safety valve. Before each use, press the sphere with a ballpoint pen to make sure it is not obstructed.
4. 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.

V TROUBLESHOOTING

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

2.2 No pressure has been selected. Select position 1 or 2/P/☐. See points III.4.3 and III.4.4.
