How to Close and Open the Hawkins

For instructions on how to close and open the Hawkins,

see inside front cover.

Here are some tips to make the closing and opening easier:

1. While closing and opening, do not tilt the lid deeply into the

cooker body. The minimum tilt that will get the lid into and out of

the cooker body should be used so that the lid does not touch

the food inside the cooker.

2. Before latching the handles together, centralize the lid so that

the sealing ring is in even contact with the rim of the cooker body.
