Getting Acquainted - Presto precise Instructions And Recipes Manual

GETTING ACQUAINTED

As received, your digital canner will be
fully assembled. Disassemble and clean the
canner parts (Fig. A) as directed below and
on page 4. Read all instructions carefully.
If you are new to canning or need some
refresher training, refer to the "Canning
Basics" section on pages 4 to 6.
Helpful Hint: To help yourself understand
the operation of the electric canner, consider
a test run. Using jars of water in place of
food, follow the step-by-step instructions for
Pressure Canning on pages 7 and 8 and for
Boiling Water Canning on pages 17 and 18.
Remove the Canner Cover
1. Before removing the cover, you will
need to unlock the green latch. Begin
by positioning the canner so the digital
display faces you. To unlock the latch,
grasp the sides of the latch and turn it
towards you until it stops (Fig. B). Lift
the temperature sensor arm out of the
sensor hole in the cover (Fig. C).
2. Once you have released the
temperature sensor arm from
the cover, rotate the cover
counterclockwise until the INSTALL/
REMOVE vertical mark is within the
mark on the canner body (Fig. D).
Then lift the cover straight up off the
canner body.
Disassemble Canner Parts for Cleaning
It is recommended that the canner be thoroughly washed before
first use to remove any manufacturing residue.
1. Lift the canning rack and removable pot out of the canner
body. Remove the protective liner on the heating plate (Fig. J,
page 6).
2. Invert the cover and pull the sealing ring frame out from the
cover (Fig. E). Then remove the vent filter for cleaning. To
remove this, place the
inverted cover on the
counter, then rest a
table knife on the rim
of the cover and insert
the knife tip into one of
the filter slots (Fig. F);
gently lift the filter up.
NOTE: Although you
will not need to remove
the filter after every use,
you should periodically
remove it for cleaning
if it appears dirty or
contains debris.
