Use and Care Manual

7. Hold the cover up to the light and
look through the vent pipe (Fig.
E) to be certain it is clear before
placing the cover on the canner. If
it is clear, proceed to step 8. If it is
blocked, clean the vent pipe and
vent pipe nut with a small brush or
pipe cleaner (Fig. F and Fig. G).
8. Check to be sure the overpressure
plug is seated properly in the cover
(see page 22, Fig. M).
9. Place cover on canner, aligning
the V mark on the cover with the
inverted V mark on the body handle
(Fig. H). Press down on the cover
handles to compress the sealing
ring and turn the cover in the direc-
tion indicated to close (clockwise)
until the cover handles are above
the body handles. Do not rotate the
cover beyond this point.
10. Position canner on a level burner
and range only. Use on a tilted
burner or range may interfere with
the operation of the pressure regu-
lator. For electric coil, smooth-top,
and induction ranges, use the ele-
ment that most closely matches the
9-inch diameter of the canner bottom. This is the portion of the
canner bottom which comes in contact with the element.
CAUTION! Do not use on any outdoor LP gas burner or a gas
range over 12,000 BTU’s. Using too large of an element or
over 12,000 BTU’s may soften the canner causing the bottom
to warp. It may also result in property damage and/or personal
injury.
