About Canning
The Canning Smart Program is a pressure cooking function based on traditional canning
principles. Following proper canning processes, canning can be an easy, economical way
to preserve quality food at home.
The Pro Plus uses 2 pressure canning settings:
Low
Perfect for canning high-acid fruit, including sauces, jams and chutneys.
Max
Store your amazing vegetarian sauces and high-acid vegetables, as
well as low-acid foods such as sauces and soups containing meat.
CAUTION
Recipes must be closely followed when canning. Modifying cooking times,
ingredients or temperatures can be dangerous. Use the exact time, temperature/
pressure and method specified in the recipe to protect the food from harmful
bacteria, molds and enzymes.
Improper canning may cause preserves to spoil, which may result in illness. Do
not pressure can at altitudes above 2000m (6600ft).
Read and carefully follow the instructions provided in the USDA’s Complete Guide
to Home Canning.
