Instructions for Vent Pipe for Pressure Regulator Weight Part No.69

Keep Safety Openings Clear - It is important to inspect the openings to the overpressure plug, the vent pipe, and the steam pressure gauge regularly and to make sure steam can pass through them.

Cleaning Vent Pipe - Before using cooker/canner, hold the cover up to the light to see if the vent pipe is clear. If you cannot see light through the vent pipe, it may be blocked. Carefully insert a piece of wire in the vent pipe and run it gently in and out to be sure the tube is clear and unobstructed. Rinse with hot water.

If wire is not available use a pipe cleaner or Q-tip. Never use or operate the pressure cooker if the vent pipe is blocked and you cannot see light through the vent pipe. Any obstructions must be removed before using the pressure cooker. Improper use may result in a scalding injury.

Excess Pressure Inside Cooker - The selected Pressure Regulator Weight is designed to release excess steam at 18 pounds of pressure. However, if the vent pipe becomes clogged inside with food or grease buildup, it will not function. If the steam pressure gauge registers in the caution range and the selective pressure regulator weight has not automatically released pressure, do the following at once:
1. Turn off the heat source. Do not remove the pressure cooker!
2. Allow the cooker to stand until cold to the touch (this may take an hour or more). Only then is it safe to remove the cover, and only remove cover after the gauge reads at ZERO.
3. Clean the vent pipe and the steam pressure gauge passages as described above. You may purchase a new vent pipe from the factory if needed.
