CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

1. The anodized finish of the GraniteWare® pressure canner will last for many years
with some simple care. Hand-wash the canner in warm soapy water and towel dry.
Do not use bleach, wire brushes, scouring pads or other aggressive cleaning tools.
2. Each time the canner is washed, remove the lid gasket sealing ring and wash in warm
soapy water, rinse, dry (lightly oil if necessary), and replace in cover.
3. The center vent pipe and back-up safety valves may be removed for occasional
cleaning or replacing. To remove, turn the lid upside down and turn the threaded
security nuts of the vent pipe and valves counterclockwise (left) to loosen. Use care
when removing the vent pipe to keep the small gasket intact and in place for
reattaching after cleaning. To reattach, push the vent pipe and valves back through
their lid holes, and secure them with the threaded nut(s) by turning the nut clockwise
(right) to tighten securely.
4. Do not let the pressure canner boil dry, and never pour water into a dry, overheated
canner.
5. Use care not to damage the top rim of the canner body. Striking the rim with metal
cooking utensils like spoons, spatulas and ladles may cause nicks or the lid to not fit
properly and allow steam and/or pressure to escape unintentionally.
6. Do not store the canner with the cover locked in place. This may deform the sealing
ring and cause unpleasant odors if not completely dry or vented. When not in use,
invert the cover on the canner body and store in a dry place.
7. If the canner handles become loose, tighten the attachment screws with a screwdriver.
Remove the lid gasket sealing ring to gain access to the lid handle screws. The body
handle screws can be found on the underside of the handles.
8. If any parts become worn or damaged, do not use the pressure canner. Call one of the
authorized part replacement services listed in the Replacement Part Guide on page 16.
