Located on the outside of the lid, the spring safety pushed on the gasket to prevent the
cooker from being pressurized before the lid is closed. The lid is closed when the lid
handle is directly above the pan handle. Never cook with the lid in any other
position. Improper closure can cause the lid to be thrown from the pan. If the
spring is loose, damaged or not longer presses the gasket away from the edge of the cover,
replace it before use. First remove the gasket and, using a flat screwdriver, push on either
end of the spring to remove from slot. Fig. D. Remove the spring and clean the area. Fig. E.
Place the new spring from the outside of the lid by pushing one end of the new spring into
the slot. Next press on the side with your thumb and finger as shown in Fig. F and snap the
other end of the spring in the remaining slot. Check to make sure the spring is set by
pressing from the outside with your thumbs as shown in Fig. G
RUBBER GASKET The gasket inside the lid seals the lid when the cooker
is closed according to the directions. After a long period of use, the gasket
may become hard or shrink losing its sealing ability. Gently stretch gasket
and test it. If it continues to leak, replace it.
