1. PRESSURE DIAL GAUGE

The pressure dial gauge registers pres- sure in both pounds (outer scale) and metric measure (inner scale). The pointer moves around the dial indicating the pressure within the unit. Pressure can be controlled and maintained by adjusting heat setting.

2. PRESSURE REGULATOR

The pressure regulator acts as a safety device to prevent pressure in excess of 15 pounds from building in the canner. Pressure readings on the pressure canner are registered only on the pressure dial gauge.

3. VENT PIPE

The pressure regulator fits over the vent pipe and allows excess pressure to be released.

4. AIR VENT/COVER LOCK

The air vent/cover lock automatically “vents” or exhausts air from the canner and acts as a visual indication of pressure in the canner. The small gasket must be in place for the air vent/cover lock to seal completely.

5. LOCKING BRACKET

The locking bracket on the inside of the canner body engages with the air vent/ cover lock to prevent the cover from be- ing opened when there is pressure in the unit.

6. SEALING RING

The sealing ring fits into the canner cover and forms a pressure-tight seal between the cover and body during canning and cooking.

7. OVERPRESSURE PLUG

The overpressure plug is located in the canner cover. It will automatically pop out and release steam in case the vent pipe becomes blocked and/or clogged and pres- sure cannot be released normally through the vent pipe.

8. CANNING-COOKING RACK

The canning-cooking rack is placed in the bottom of the canner to hold jars off the bottom of the unit while canning. When cooking, the rack is used for steaming foods. It can also be used to hold foods such as vegetables out of the cooking liquid which allows several foods to be cooked at the same time without an intermingling of flavors. When it is desirable to blend flavors, do not use the canning-cooking rack. The canning-cooking rack must always be used when canning.

PRESTOCanner parts are available at most hardware stores or see parts information on page 37.

When ordering parts, please specify the seven digit model number found stamped on the side of the canner body.
