10. Processing time begins when the Pressure Regulator begins to rock gently. Lower the
heat setting of the burner to maintain a slow, steady rocking of the pressure regulator.
Steam will escape as the pressure regulator rocks gently in place. This is normal and
how the unit should work.
11. When processing time has ended according to the recipe, turn heat setting of the
burner to "OFF" and gently move the canner to a cold burner and let sit until cool.
Note: the canner is hot and heavy, use care when lifting a hot pressure canner.
Do not slide it across the burner. Sliding cookware can damage both the cookware
and the stovetops.
12. Let the pressure canner cool down away from the heat source naturally. Do not
attempt to speed the cooling of the canner. Rapid reduction techniques can cause jar
breakage and other potentially dangerous problems. Pressure is completely reduced
when the air/vent cover lock drops back inside the handle and no steam escapes when
the pressure regulator is lifted.
13. When pressure is completely reduced, remove the pressure regulator from the vent
pipe and let the canner cool for an additional 10 minutes undisturbed. Do not remove
the pressure regulator until the air/vent cover lock has dropped and no additional
steam escapes when the pressure regulator is lifted. Always remove the pressure
regulator before opening and removing the canner lid.
14. To remove the lid, turn the top handles counter-clockwise (left) until the lid handles
move beyond the canner body handles, and the mark on the lid points to the 
mark on the canner body handle. If the lid is hard to turn and seems to stick, do not
force it open. Sticking may indicate pressure is still inside the canner. Let the canner
sit until completely cool before removing the lid if there is any doubt.
