Safety precautions for using your Mirro Matic pressure cooker

Mirro Matic pressure cookers are designed for safe and efficient use, but following proper safety guidelines is essential to avoid accidents and ensure great results:

• Always read the owner's manual for your pressure cooker before using it. The manual provides critical safety and usage instructions.
• Before each use, inspect the vent pipe to ensure it’s clear of blockages. Hold the cover up to a light and look through the vent pipe to check for obstructions.
• Confirm that the air vent/cover lock moves freely before operation. A stuck vent lock can prevent proper pressure regulation.
• Avoid overfilling the pressure cooker. When pressure cooking, do not fill it over ⅔ full. For foods like soup, grains, and dry beans that expand during cooking, limit the fill to ½ full to prevent clogging the vent pipe and creating excess pressure.

Common Mirro Matic pressure cookers parts

When maintaining or repairing your Mirro Matic pressure cooker, these are the most frequently replaced parts:

• Pressure regulator: This component maintains the correct pressure level inside the cooker. If steam escapes continuously, preventing pressure buildup, replace the pressure regulator to restore proper function.
• Pressure gauge: The gauge monitors the steam pressure inside the cooker. Replace it if it fails to provide accurate readings or becomes damaged.
• Lid gasket: The gasket forms a seal to prevent steam from escaping. Replace it when you notice cracking, dryness, or leaks around the lid during use.
• Canning rack: This accessory holds jars above the bottom of the pressure cooker when canning. Replace a bent or damaged rack to ensure jars remain properly positioned.
