18
cups of water. When processing fewer jars, more water would be needed.
7. After reading the Instruction Manual, put the lid on the base and lock in place. Plug the unit
into the wall outlet.
8. Press the “canning” button, Pressure Cooker will default to 20 minutes. To change pressure
time, to go to “time” button then adjust accordingly.
9. When the canning process is complete, the unit will shut off. Press the pressure release
button to release the pressure. Once all the steam has escaped, carefully remove the lid.
10. Using canning tongs, remove the hot jars and place them on a heat resistant surface and
allow to cool down to room temperature.
11. When jars are thoroughly cool, remove the screw bands. The lids should be tightly sealed to
the jars and when pressed in the center they should not have any “give” or springing motion.
If they do, you cannot safely store this food for future use. It must be reprocessed
immediately or refrigerated and used within a few days.
12. Place the finished jars on shelves in a cool, clean, dry atmosphere. Properly processed food
will last for months and seasons. Jars, lids and screw bands are reusable. Check all carefully
for damage before reuse.
IMPORTANT: It is recommended to use the pressure cooker as a canning device at altitudes of 2,000
feet above sea level or higher.
NOTES & TIPS:
- While the jars are cooling, you will hear the lids emit a faint clocking sound. This sound
indicates that the lids have properly sealed.
- You can check the seal on flat lids by pressing down with your thumb after they have
cooled for one hour or more. If the lid remains stiff with no movement, then the lids have
properly sealed.
- If the lids have not properly sealed after 2 hours of cooling, the pressure canning process
did not work. Should this happen, refrigerate or freeze the ingredients and use within the
standard use-by dates.
- Always use supplies specifically manufactured for the purpose of canning. For best
results, use mason jars that are no larger than 16 ounces. When pressure canning, never
stack the jars.
Use chart below. The canning function goes to a default of 20 minutes.
