Produkt overview

The Presto 50332 Pressure Canner Pressure Regulator is designed to maintain specific pressure levels within your pressure canner.

Opsætning og montering

1. Udpak komponenter: Carefully remove the pressure regulator body and the two 5-pound weight rings from their packaging.
2. Determine Desired Pressure: The regulator allows for 5, 10, or 15 pounds of pressure.
   • For 5 pounds of pressure: Use only the central stem (without any weight rings).
   • For 10 pounds of pressure: Place one 5-pound weight ring onto the central stem.
   • For 15 pounds of pressure: Place both 5-pound weight rings onto the central stem.
3. Assemble Weights: To add or remove weight rings, simply lift them off or place them onto the central stem. Ensure they are seated correctly. The black handle on the central stem can be gently screwed or unscrewed to secure the rings, if applicable to your specific model.
4. Install on Canner: Place the assembled pressure regulator onto the vent pipe of your Presto pressure canner. Ensure it fits securely.

This regulator is compatible with Presto Pressure Canner models: 01/C22, 01/C17, 01/C13, 171003, 174001, 171001, 171002, 0174510, 177001, 02/CAA12H, 02/CAA16H, 02/CAA20H.

Betjeningsvejledning

Once the pressure regulator is correctly installed on your pressure canner, it will begin to jiggle or rock gently when the desired pressure is reached. This jiggling action indicates that the canner is maintaining the set pressure by releasing overskydende damp.

• Overvågningstryk: Observe the regulator for a steady, gentle rocking motion. This indicates that the correct pressure is being maintained.
• Justering af varme: Adjust your stove's heat to maintain the desired jiggling rate. A consistent jiggle ensures consistent pressure.
• Dial Gauge Consideration: If your canner also has a dial gauge, it is recommended to rely on the weighted regulator's jiggling action for accurate pressure indication, especially if the dial gauge has not been recently calibrated.

Opretholdelse

• Rensning: After each use, allow the regulator to cool completely. Wash the regulator body and weight rings with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before storage.
• Inspektion: Regularly inspect the regulator for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Ensure the weight rings fit securely and the central stem is clear of any obstructions.
• Opbevaring: Store the regulator in a dry place to prevent rust or damage.

Fejlfinding

If the pressure regulator does not jiggle or maintain pressure as expected, ensure the following:

• The regulator is correctly seated on the canner's vent pipe.
• The correct number of weight rings are used for the desired pressure.
• The canner lid is properly sealed and locked.
• The heat source is consistent and adequate.
