1. Pressure Regulator (3-piece)
Note:
The pressure regulator (Fig. B) is packed in the top foam
filler of the carton in a bag identified with the words “Pressure
Regulator Enclosed.”
The pressure regulator controls and maintains the correct
pressure in the canner. When it is rocking gently, the selected
pressure has been obtained. It can be adjusted to maintain
34, 69, or 103 kPa (5, 10, or 15 psi).
Completely assembled, the regulator will maintain 103 kPa
(15 psi). When one ring is removed, it will maintain 69 kPa
(10 psi). With both rings removed, it will maintain 34 kPa
(5 psi). Adjust the regulator by removing the appropriate number
of weight rings (Fig. B).
To remove the weight rings, hold the completely assembled
regulator between the first two fingers of the hand with the
thumb on top of the knob. Press down on the knob to force the
weight rings over the lock ring.
To replace the weight rings, push them down over the lock ring
at the top of the regulator body.
2. Vent Pipe
The vent pipe (Fig. C) is the primary pressure relief valve and
will release pressure in excess of 103 kPa (15 psi). The regulator
sits loosely on the vent pipe.
3. Air Vent/Cover Lock
The air vent/cover lock (Fig. D) vents, or exhausts, air from the
canner and acts as a visual indicator of the state of pressure in
the canner. The small gasket must be in place for the air vent/
cover lock to seal completely.
4. Locking Bracket
The locking bracket (Fig. E) on the inside of the body engages
with the air vent/cover lock to prevent the cover from being
opened when there is pressure in the canner.
