Another AA question

So I bought an AA921 off ebay (as seems to be the trend). Upon going over the manual, I noticed that one thing on the lid is completely different than in all the pics in the manual. I have the normal pressure gauge, but where the manual notes there is a pressure regulator weight (which is round?) I have this weird metal not round thing (on the right).

The little thing on top moves, and you can pull it up a bit and it will go back down (like it's on elastic or something). I can't unscrew it with my hands.
So the question is, what in the world is that? Can I still use the pressure cooker? Thanks in advance.

you have the regulator valve type...
which alot of us like better than the weight type.
open...

closed...

much easier to use than the weight.

Ok so stupid me did more searching and found out it's a control valve, and it's actually pretty awesome to have. Someone can lock or delete this or whatever. I'll search really really hard next time before posting a thread. Sorry. :/

Oh! you posted while I was still typing! But on the other post I read it didn't say the difference between open and closed. Thanks!

no problem...no need to close or delete.
I suggest that you replace that valve with a new one.
They need to be replaced from time to time.
There are links around for those parts...if you search.
also the black or red rubber blow out that is on the lid should be replaced about once a year.
I also wrote up how to use the AA models with the pressure relief valve... again do a search for that.

Thanks a lot. I shall heed your advice and replace the toggle as well as the little rubber overpressure thing.

It was around $50, with about 15 shipping. Don't wanna say exact prices because I'm paranoid. Haha. I don't know if it was a good deal or not, but it seems to be about what others are ending for, so i guess it was average? My parakeet's about to start a monotub (wbs -> h/poo), so wish her luck!

yeah thats a good price...
you did good!~
Don't get too paranoid...
I had a friend that really went extreme with it.
Shut his curtains, hardly ever comes out of his house, left the shroomery, deleted his posts...etc.
That is no way to live your life!~
