Care And Cleaning; Maintenance For Safe Use - Fagor FUTURO Serie Manual De Instrucciones

Remove and drain hot sterilized jars
one at a time. Save the hot water for
processing filled jars. Fill jars with food,
add lids, and tighten screw bands.
Empty jars used for vegetables,
meats, and fruits to be processed in a
pressure canner need not be sterilized
beforehand. It is also unnecessary to
sterilize jars for fruits, tomatoes, and
pickled or fermented foods that will be
processed 10 minutes or longer in a
boiling-water canner.
Label and Store Jars:
The screw bands should be removed
from the sealed jars to prevent them from
rusting on. The screw bands should then
be washed, dried and stored for later use.
Store in a clean, cool, dark, dry place.
The best temperature is between 50
and 70 °F. Avoid storing canned foods
in a warm place near hot pipes, a range
or a furnace, or in direct sunlight. They
lose quality in a few weeks or months,
depending on the temperature and may
even spoil. Keep canned goods dry.
Dampness may corrode metal lids and
cause leakage so food will spoil. For best
quality, use canned foods within one year.

Care and Cleaning

1. The Futuro Pressure Cooker is made
of high-quality, heavy gauge
stainless steel.
2. The pressure cooker pot and lid
should be washed with warm water,
mild, dish-washing soap and a non-
abrasive cleaning pad, since stainless
steel can discolor in a dishwasher.
Since the exterior of the pressure
cooker has a mirror finish, do not
clean with metal scouring pads or
abrasive cleaners, which scratch and
ruin the finish. Wash the lid with water
and towel dry.
3. To remove stubborn stains and any
discoloration in the interior of the
pressure cooker, try adding the juice
of half a lemon and 1 to 2 cups
of water to the pressure cooker
pot. Cook at high pressure for 15
minutes, then remove from heat. Let
pressure release naturally, then wash
as usual.
4. After cleaning, towel dry with a
clean, soft kitchen cloth to retain the
polished mirror finish.
5. In order to extend the life of the
gasket, remove after each use and
wash with warm water and mild,
dish washing soap. Rinse and dry
well, then cover with a thin coat of
vegetable oil before replacing.
6. To store, DO NOT LOCK THE LID IN
PLACE. Simply place the lid upside-
down on top of the pressure cooker
pot.
