5.
Place the Inner Pot in the base unit. Then put the Wire
Rack in the bottom of the Inner Pot. Place Filled, sealed
Jars on Rack. Unit will hold up to 4-16 oz. jars (maximum).
6.
Pour hot water over the jars and into the Inner Pot until
the water level reaches 1/4 of the way up the sides of the
jars. For 4-16 oz. jars this would be about 6 cups of water.
When processing fewer jars, more water would be needed.
7.
After reading the Owner’s Manual, put the lid on the
base and lock in place. Plug the unit into the wall outlet.
8.
Select the Canning/Preserving button. The Unit will
default to the Canning program automatically setting the
pressure at 80 kPa. Now you will need to set the Cook
Time as per your recipe.
9.
When the canning process is complete, select the
Cancel button. Unplug the unit and Set the Pressure
Valve to the Open position. 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 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 can not 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:
The Power Cooker PLUS when used as a
pressure canning device does not have an effective
operating capacity for more than 2,000 ft. above sea level.
