PROBLEM  

SOLUTION 

Indicator does not reach 
the green area for my 
zone 

CHECK THE FOLLOWING 
Is the water boiling, and has the water been 
boiling for more than 40 minutes? 
Is the lid seated on top of pot? 
Are you looking at the correct Zone for your 
altitude? See page 2 for instructions. 
If you can answer yes to all of the above and 
the  indicator is still not reaching the green 
area please contact customer service at           
1-866-257-4741 

Lid is bouncing or lifting 
up during the processing 

Heat is set too high. Gradually reduce heat 
setting until lid stops lifting up. 

Water runs out before       
processing time is 
reached. 

Heat is set too high. Reduce heat. Water does 
NOT need to be at a rapid boil. A slow rolling 
boil is sufficient to maintain temperature dur-
ing the processing time. Be sure you have a 
minimum of 3 Quarts of water in the pot each 
time a batch is started.  

I am not sure how the 
indicator works  
OR 
Which “ZONE” on the 
indicator should I use? 

Read the instructions on page 2 of this manual 
and if you have any unanswered questions 
please feel free to contact our customer ser-
vice line at 1-866-257-4741
