Replacement Parts
Use only genuine Presto
®
replacement parts. These parts are available at most
hardware stores or they can be ordered directly from Presto; see the “Consumer
Service Information” on page 77.
When ordering parts for your canner, please specify the 7-digit model number
and 4- to 5-digit series number found stamped on the side of the canner body.
These numbers are needed to assure the correct part is available for your canner
model and can be ordered.
BEFORE USING THE CAN NER FOR THE FIRST TIME
1. Remove the sealing ring by simply pulling it from its groove.
2. Wash the cover, the body, and the sealing ring with hot, soapy water to
remove any manufacturing oils. Rinse all parts with warm water and dry.
3. Replace the sealing ring in the sealing ring groove, making certain to fit
the ring under the stop tab located on the inside rim of the cover (Fig. J).
4. The sealing ring is prelubricated. The cover should open and close easily
when following step 8 on page 15.
If necessary, to help make the cover easier
to open and close, apply a very light
coating of vegetable oil to the sealing ring
and underside of the body lugs (Fig. J).
5. Check the air vent/cover lock in the
canner cover to be sure the two pieces are
screwed together securely.
If the pieces are loose, tighten them with
your fingers until a point of resistance is
met (fingertip tight); see pages 20 to 21.
Helpful Hint:
To help yourself understand the operation of the pressure canner,
pour 4 cups of water into the canner and follow the step-by-step instructions
beginning with step 7 on page 14.
For actual usage of the canner, follow the complete step-by-step instructions
beginning on page 13 for pressure canning and on page 57 for pressure
cooking.
