5. Check the water level. Add more boiling water, if needed, so the water
level is at least 1 inch above the jar tops.
6. Look through the vent pipe on the canner cover to be certain it is clear
before placing the cover on the canner. To clean the vent pipe, draw a pipe
cleaner or small brush through the opening (see page 15).
7. Place the cover on the canner, aligning the
V
mark on the cover with the
inverted
V
mark on the body handle (Fig. O, page 15). Lock securely by
turning in the direction indicated to close the cover (clockwise).
The cover handles must be above the body handles. Do not force the
cover beyond this position.
8. Turn the heat on the stove to its highest setting until the water boils
vigorously.
9. Set a timer for the minutes required for processing the food based on the
tested canning recipe.
10. Lower the heat to maintain a gentle boil throughout processing.
11. Add more boiling water, if needed, to keep the water level at least 1 inch
above the jar tops.
12. When the jars have been processed for the recommended time, turn off the
heat and remove the canner cover. Let the canner cool for 5 minutes.
13. Using a jar lifter, remove the jars by lifting them straight up. Be careful
not to tilt them as this causes liquid to siphon from the jars.
Place the jars upright on a towel or cooling rack, away from drafts. Leave
at least a 1-inch space between the jars during cooling.
14. Allow the jars to cool naturally for 12 to 24 hours before testing the seal.
See the “After Processing” information on page 12. Do not re-tighten the
bands.
15. When canning is complete, allow the canner to cool completely before
cleaning. For more information on the boiling water method, visit

Canner Storage:
Store the canner in a dry place at temperatures above freezing
with the cover inverted on the body. Storing the canner with the cover locked
on may cause unpleasant odours and deform the sealing ring. The canner must
be completely dry before storing.
