: Rotate the minute hand until the arrowhead aligns with the correct time. Scheduled Heating Fagor FEB-20E EcoPlus (often referred to in parts
: Move the "tappets" (small sliders) to the outer position for the hours you want the heating to be active. Override Switch Position I : Heating is permanently ON. Middle Position : Operates on the timer settings. Position O : Heating is permanently OFF. Maintenance & Troubleshooting Pressure Requirements The system must maintain a pressure between 0.75 and 1 bar
when cold. If the pressure drops, the boiler may fail to fire or show a fault code. The "Red Light" Fault
A persistent or flashing red light often indicates a safety lockout. Step 5: Cooking Time

Step 5: Cooking Time
- Follow your recipe’s timing (e.g., 15 minutes for rice, 40 minutes for pot roast). The Fagor Eco Plus FA 15-20 manual includes a cooking time table on pages 12-14.
Parts to keep on hand
- Spare filter inserts and o-rings
- Spray arm(s) and nozzles
- Door gasket
- Drain pump and solenoid valve
- Chemical pump tubing
5. High Extraction Speed (up to ~800–1000 RPM)
Reduces drying time by removing more water from laundry, lowering energy bills.
Weekly / Monthly maintenance
- Inspect spray arms for blockages; clean and rotate freely.
- Descale if hard water scales appear using a recommended descaler.
- Check and tighten visible plumbing/electrical connections when cold/off.
- Test safety interlocks (door switch) and emergency stop function.
Critical Safety Warnings:
- Never fill above the 2/3 mark: For foods that expand (rice, beans, dried vegetables), do not fill past the 1/2 mark.
- Minimum liquid requirement: Always use at least 250ml (1 cup) of water or liquid to generate adequate steam.
- Check the gasket before every use: The silicone sealing ring must be flexible, clean, and properly seated. A hardened or cracked gasket will prevent pressure buildup.
- Do not force the lid open: Never attempt to open the cooker until the internal pressure indicator (the small pin) has fully dropped.
- Oil caution: Do not pressure fry (using large amounts of oil) in this unit unless specific frying instructions are followed.
Monthly Maintenance:
- Gasket Care: Remove the silicone ring. Wash it separately. Do not stretch it. If it feels loose, replace it (standard size 15L gasket).
- Safety Valve Test: Pull gently on the rubber safety plug on the lid. It should be flexible. If it is brittle, order part #FAG-15SP.
Part 1: Getting to Know the Fagor Eco Plus FA 15-20
Before diving into the manual’s operational steps, it is crucial to understand what the alphanumeric code "FA 15-20" actually means.
- Fagor: The brand, a Spanish cooperative known for high-quality stainless steel cookware.
- Eco Plus: The product line, emphasizing energy efficiency and ergonomic design.
- FA: Likely denotes the model series or manufacturing code.
- 15-20: This refers to the capacity in liters (usually 15 liters for the main body, though some interpretations suggest a multi-size system). In most standard classifications, the FA 15-20 is a 15-liter pressure cooker, ideal for large families, batch cooking, or even small-scale commercial use.
Step 6: Depressurization (Three Methods)
- Natural Release: Turn off heat. Let pressure drop on its own (10-15 mins). Best for large meats and stocks.
- Quick Release (Cold Water): Run cold tap water over the lid (avoiding the valve). Do this only with non-electrical cooktops.
- Forced Release: Using a long utensil, gently tilt the pressure regulator’s lever to release steam. Caution: Hot steam hazard.
