Operation Manual

TO REPLACE

1. Clean all surfaces around the lid hole where the safety valve

will sit.

2. Unscrew the new nut and remove the washer and keep them to

one side, with the chamfered side of the nut up.

5. Hold the lid handle

in your right hand and

turn the lid upside down,

that is, with the

underside of the lid

facing you and the top

side of the lid lying flat on

the soft, folded cloth on

a table. With the left

hand, position the ring

end of one spanner around the valve on the underside of the lid and

hold it in place with the fingers of the left hand while grasping the lid

with the same hand (see Picture 5).

6. Raise the lid

vertically, holding the lid

with your left hand with

the ring spanner in place

on the safety valve (to

stop its rotation when

you tighten the nut).

Now the underneath of

the lid will be away from

you and the top of the lid

will be facing you. With the right hand, position the second spanner

around the nut under the lid handle bar at an upward angle and exert

downward pressure on the spanner (see Picture 6). Tighten the nut

securely by repeating the downward strokes of the spanner until the

nut stops moving.

3. Hold the valve and apply a small amount of food compatible sealant

or glue on the valve threads (to prevent any leakage). Push the valve

into the safety valve hole from the underside of the lid and hold in

place with the left hand. Place the washer around the threads of the

valve on the top surface of the lid. Place the nut (chamfered side up)

on the washer and screw the nut in a clockwise direction with your

fingers until tight (see Picture 4).

4. Wipe off any sealant or glue that may have squeezed out while it is

still fresh and soft.
