Always fully close the pressure canner.

The canner is fully closed when

the cover handles are above the body handles.
Your pressure canner has specially designed lugs on the cover and the

body which lock the cover in place when the canner is fully closed.

However, if the canner is not fully closed, the lugs cannot lock the cover

onto the body.
Therefore, it is possible that pressure could build inside the canner and

cause the cover to come off and result in bodily injury or property damage.

Always be sure the cover handles are above the body handles. Do not turn

past handle alignment.

Never open the canner when it contains pressure.

The air vent/cover

lock visually indicates the state of pressure in the canner. When it is up,

there is pressure in the canner. When it is down, there is no pressure and

the canner can be opened.
If the canner is opened before all of the pressure is released, the contents

will erupt and could cause bodily injury or property damage.

Replace the sealing ring and overpressure plug if they become hard,

deformed, cracked, worn, pitted, or soft and sticky. Always replace

the overpressure plug when replacing the sealing ring.

Both parts are made of rubber, and when new, are soft and pliable. Over

time, depending on the frequency and type of use, rubber becomes hard

and inflexible. Replace the sealing ring and overpressure plug at least

every 3 years.
The overpressure plug is a secondary pressure relief valve designed to

relieve excess pressure by releasing from the canner cover in the event that

the vent pipe becomes blocked.
When hard and inflexible, the overpressure plug loses its ability to act as a

secondary pressure relief valve. It should be replaced immediately.
Should the overpressure plug ever be forced out of the cover due to excess

pressure while cooking, call the Presto Consumer Service Department at

1 800 877-0441 for assistance in determining why this happened.

Do not

use the released overpressure plug.
