OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (CONT.)
Naturally Releasing the pressure (See Notes & Tips #6).
18. Open lid once pressure has completely released.
19. Carefully remove jars using special canning utensils or tools. CAUTION: Jars are hot!
20. Set jars on a towel or cooling rack and allow to cool completely in a draft-free
location.
21. Follow recipe instructions on cooling and storage.
While the jars are cooling, a small “click” sound will come from the lids to indicate the
lids are sealing properly.
After approximately one hour, check to be sure the flat lids have obtained a good seal
by pressing down with your thumb; the lid should remain stiff with no movement.
If you have not achieved a good seal within 2 hours, the canning did not work properly
and the ingredients will need to be refrigerated and used within 3 days or frozen in a
freezer container.
If recipes require the use of a trivet, riser (wire rack), foil, or heat-resistant/pressure-
resistant oven-safe cookware, you may use these accessories in this pressure cooker.
If you do not have a wire rack that will fit, simply use 3-4 mason jar lids or regular jar
lids for a simple 1-inch riser.
