Sterilizer Guage wtf

I just sterilized two LC quarts in my AA Sterilizer @ 15-16PSI for 20 mins. I shut off the burner to let it depressureize "naturally" with the pressure release valve still shut.
The problem or issue is that the guage started out on Zero, duh. But now it is Negative, BELOW Zero.
What gives? A non-air tight metal-to-metal-seal? is it producing a vacuum effect or something?

There probably is a vacuum inside the PC.

Let it equalize naturally, or be in your sterile room/area when you open the PC. Simply pop the toggle to release the vacuum. It's good that it pulls a vacuum. If it didn't, it would be drawing in nasty outside air. RR

Right that's what I was thinking, and yeah, I'll just pop it in front of my hepa.

running my hepa right now, apparently over night it de-vacummmed. I would have started the LCs last night but had "unexpected" guests...errr...just cleaned my work table and turned the hepa on, of course after spraying Lysol in the air for 2 minutes hahhhaaha.
...hopefully I have intact jars, and hopefully they don't get contaminated or grow slow like the others.
