CAUTION!
Do not use pressure canner on any outdoor LP gas
burner or a gas range over 12,000 BTU’s. Doing so may result
in damage to the pressure canner, property damage, or personal
injury.
9. Extreme caution must be used when moving a pressure canner
containing hot liquids. Do not touch hot surfaces. Use the handles
or knobs.
10. Do not open canner until internal pressure has been completely
reduced, air vent/cover lock has dropped, and no steam escapes
when the pressure regulator is removed. See “How to Pressure Can
Foods” instructions.
11. 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.
It is recommended that the sealing ring and overpressure plug
be replaced at least every 3 years. Use only genuine Presto
®
replacement parts.
12. Close supervision is necessary when the pressure canner is used
near children. It is recommended that children not use the pressure
canner.
13. When operating pressure is reached, gradually lower the heat
to maintain the pressure. If the pressure regulator is allowed to
rock vigorously, excess steam will escape, causing more liquid to
evaporate. Food will scorch and the canner may go dry, resulting in
damage to the canner.
14. Do not use this pressure canner for other than intended use.
15. Do not use this pressure canner for pressure frying with oil.
