Do not remove the pressure regulator until pressure is completely

reduced and the air vent/cover lock has dropped. Always remove pressure

regulator before opening the cover.

13. To remove cover, turn counter-clockwise until cover hits stop (Fig.

K). Cover handles will be beyond the body handles. If cover seems to

stick or is hard to turn, do not force it open. Sticking may indicate that

there is still pressure inside the canner. If in doubt about pressure being

completely reduced, let the canner stand until cool before removing the

cover.

14. Lift canner cover toward you to keep steam away from you when opening (Fig. L).

15. Remove jars from canner. Set jars upright on board or cloth, away from draft to cool. When jars are cold, test seal, remove

bands, wipe jars, label, date, and store in a cool, dry place.

CaRe and MainTenanCe

1. The outside surface may be kept bright and shiny by cleaning with a good silver polish or simply by washing with soap and

water. Iron and various minerals in water and foods may darken the inside of the canner, but this discoloration will in no way

affect food cooked. These stains may be removed by using a solution of water and cream of tartar. For each quart of water, use

onetablespooncreamoftartar.Pourenoughsolutionintothecannertocoverthediscoloration(donotllover⅔full),then

close cover securely. Place regulator on vent pipe and heat until 15 pounds pressure is reached. Remove canner from heat;

allow canner to stand two to three hours. Remove regulator, open canner, and empty contents. Scour thoroughly with a soap

impregnated steel wool cleaning pad; wash, rinse, and dry.

Due to the acidic nature of the water supply in some areas, deterioration of the interior surface of the canner body may occur.

To minimize this effect, thoroughly scour the inside of the canner body with an abrasive cleanser

at least once a year.

2. Each time the canner is washed, remove the sealing ring and wash in warm, sudsy water, rinse,

dry, and replace in cover.

3. The air vent/cover lock may be removed for occasional cleaning or for replacing the small gasket.

To remove the air vent/cover lock, grasp and hold secure the cup portion on the underside of the

coverwithyourngers(Fig.M).Usingthengersofyourotherhand,turnthepinportionof

the air vent/cover lock on the top side of the cover counterclockwise until the pin is free of the

cup portion. Lift the pin out of the cover and remove the cup from under the cover. Carefully

pull the small gasket off the threaded shaft on the cup portion. Wash all parts in warm, sudsy

water. Use a soft cloth or small nylon brush to clean the cover hole.

4. To reassemble the air vent cover lock, place the small gasket over the threaded shaft of the cup portion. Reinsert the cup portion

by pushing the threaded shaft through the air vent/cover lock opening from the underside of the cover (Fig. M). Screw the pin

portion clockwise onto the threaded shaft until it is not possible to tighten it any further. Note: Pressure will not build if the air

vent/cover lock is installed incorrectly. The pin portion (the piece with the hole in it) must be on the top of the cover.

5. The overpressure plug can be removed for cleaning by pushing it out of its opening

from the top of the cover. After cleaning, reinsert the plug by pushing the domed side

of the plug into the opening from the underside of the cover, until the bottom edge is

fully and evenly seated against the underside of the cover. When the overpressure plug

is properly installed, the word (TOP) will be visible on the overpressure plug when

viewing the outside of the cover (Fig. N).

If the overpressure plug is ever forced out of its cover opening due to excess pressure while cooking or canning, it is important

to call the Test Kitchen at 1-800-368-2194. Do not attempt to use the released overpressure plug.

6. Pouring water into a dry overheated canner may crack the metal.

7. Do not strike the rim of the canner body with any cooking utensil as this will cause nicks which may damage the rim and allow

steam to escape.

8. When your pressure canner is not in use, invert the cover on the canner body and store in a dry place. Storing the canner with the

cover locked on may cause unpleasant odors and deform the sealing ring.

9. To ensure safe operation and satisfactory performance, replace the overpressure plug every time you replace the sealing

ring or sooner if it becomes hard, deformed, cracked, worn, or pitted. Replace the sealing ring and overpressure plug at least

every three years. Failure to follow these instructions could result in bodily injury or property damage.

10. If the canner body or cover handles become loose, tighten them with a screwdriver.
