Cleaning after use

1) The outside surface may be kept bright and shiny by cleaning with a good silver polish or simply
by washing with soap and water. Iron and various minerals in water may darken the inside but
this discoloration will in no way affect sterilisation. These stains are harmless and may be
removed by using a solution of water and cream of tartar. For each quart of water, use one
tablespoon of cream of tartar. Pour enough solution into the vessel to cover the discoloration
(do not fill over 2/3 full), then close cover securely. Place regulator on vent pipe and heat until
15 pounds pressure is reached. Switch off and allow the unit to stand for two to three hours.
Remove regulator, open and empty contents. Scour thoroughly with a soap impregnated steel
wool cleaning pad; wash, rinse and dry.
2) Each time the vessel is washed, remove the sealing ring and wash in warm, soapy water, rinse,
dry and replace in cover.
3) The air vent/cover lock may be removed for occasional cleaning or for replacing the small
gasket. Wash all parts in warm, soapy water. Use a soft cloth or small nylon brush to clean the
cover hole. The small gasket must be in place when re-assembling the air vent/cover lock.
4) The overpressure plug can be removed for cleaning by pulling it out of its opening from the
bottom part of the cover. After cleaning, re-insert the plug by pushing the round side of the plug
into the opening from the bottom part of the cover. When the overpressure plug is properly
installed the word (TOP) will be visible when viewing the outside of the cover. The dented
portion of the overpressure plug is visible when the bottom part of the cover is viewed. If the
overpressure plug is ever forced out of its cover opening due to excess pressure while
sterilising, it is important to have the vessel properly inspected before further use. Do not
attempt to replace the overpressure plug and ask for servicing.
5) Be sure the vent pipe is open before each use. Clean the vent pipe with a small brush or pipe
cleaner.
6) When your unit is not in use, invert the cover on the body and store in a dry place. Storing the
unit with the cover locked on may deform the sealing ring.
