Pressure Release Methods
1.
"Natural Release Method" (Slow Pressure Release Method): set the Pressure
Canner aside to cool until pressure is completely reduced.
2.
"Cool Water Release Method" (Fast Pressure Release Method): cool the Pressure
Canner under a running water faucet or pour cold water over it or place it in a pan of
cold water until pressure is completely reduced.
Note: Do not set hot Pressure Canner in a molded sink as it could damage the sink.
Pressure is completely reduced when the safety lock pin has dropped. If the safety lock
pin remains in its raised position, there is still pressure inside the Pressure Canner.
Continue to cool until the safety lock pin drops.
•
After the pressure has been released, and the safety lock pin has dropped, carefully remove the
pressure regulator.
Note: Always remove the pressure regulator before opening the lid.
•
Open the lid by grasping the cooking pot handles with both hands and turn the lid
counterclockwise. Align the mark
pot handles. Then lift the lid.
• Caution: Lift the lid towards you to keep any steam away from you.
• If you cannot turn handles, there still may be some pressure inside the unit. Do not force the lid off.
Continue to cool the Pressure Canner until the steam is no longer escaping from the vent pipe,
the safety lock pin has dropped, and the lid turns easily.
