OPERATING and GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
8 Quart Pressure Pot
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•
Do not attempt to pressurize the pot with more than 25 lbs.
•
Do not in any way modify or alter any of the pot’s safety pressure releases in order to pressurize more than 25 lbs.
•
Do not attempt to open the pressure pot while pot is pressurized.
OPERATION
1.
HEATING OF PRESSURE POT
: Fill pressure pot with approximately 2 quarts of water and plug pot into electrical
socket. Push power switch to “ON” position (switch will illuminate). Set dial located in front of pressure pot at “12
o’clock” position. Pot will heat to approximately 100 degrees. Adjust dial as needed to achieve desired temperature
(120 degrees is most commonly used). Note: pressurizing unit increases temperature.

APPLIANCES
•
Do not cover the hydrocolloid flask with water
•
Use 20 lbs. Air pressure
•
Use 155°F water temperature for a period of 2 hours.
2.
INITIAL PRESSURIZING OF POT:
Lid of pressure pot must be securely locked into position before being
pressurized. Each pot is preset to operate at approximately 20 lbs.
•
Make sure that the Pressure Air Lock valve is in OPEN position (as shown in FIG. 1 above).
•
Attach air supply hose to air regulator coupler with quick disconnect.
•
Pot will automatically regulate at preset pressure of approximately 20 lbs.
•
If air supply hose is to be removed after pressurizing, turn pressure air lock valve 90° clockwise to close valve
and then remove air supply hose. Note: if air hose is removed, pressure in pot may ‘settle’ a few pounds.
Experiment with initial pressurization to reach desired pressure for operation without air hose.
3.
ADJUSTING PRESSURE:
Lid of pressure pot must be securely locked into position before being pressurized. Each
pot is preset to operate at approximately 20 lbs.
•
Make sure that the Pressure Air Lock valve is in OPEN position (as shown in FIG. 1). Remove air supply hose
to release all pressure from pot.
•
Pull Pressure Regulator black knob outward (towards you) to unlock pressure regulator (see FIG. 1 above).
•
Turn knob counterclockwise until it stops.
•
Connect air hose to pot. The pot should
NOT
be filling with air at this time.
•
Slowly turn black knob clockwise until pot begins to pressurize. When pot reaches desired pressure, push
black knob inward to lock into position. Note: if air hose is removed, pressure in pot may ‘settle’ a few pounds.
Experiment with initial pressurization to reach desired pressure for operation without air hose.
SAFETY RELEASE VALVES ARE DESIGNED TO GO OFF IF PRESSURE EXCEEDS 25 LBS. THE
RELEASE VALVES ARE FOR YOUR PROTECTION AND THE PROTECTION OF OTHERS.
