Make sure that openings to
the petcock, safety valve, and
pressure gauge or weight con
trol are clean. If openings are
clogged during canning, all air
may not be driven out in the
time allowed for venting, or the
safety valve may fail to work
when pressure becofnes too
high. The openings may be
cleaned by drawing a string,
narrow strip of cloth, or pipe
cleaner through them.
Petcock and valve should be
removed occasionally and soak
ed in vinegar for a short time.
If the safety valve is ball-and
socket type, clean it after each
use. Occasionally clean the ball
and socket into which it fits
with silver polish.
After the canning season is
over, be sure the canner is
clean before scoring it. Wash
the kettle in hot s".dsy water
and wipe o,f the lid with a
soapy cloth, then with a clean,
damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.
Smear the threads of screw

in paper. Put the lid on upside
