WARNING! As with any cooking appliance, metal parts - and even
some plastic parts - can become extremely hot to touch. Always
let the appliance cool completely – usually 20 to 30 minutes –
before cleaning.
1. ALWAYS unplug your Automatic Home Canning Appliance from
the power source once you have completed preserving your foods.
Allow to cool before cleaning.
2. Discard any water left in the Inner Pot, water that may have collected in
the Drip Cup and water that drained from the Inner Lid while opening.
3. The Inner Pot and the Jar Rack can be washed in the dishwasher
or with hot soapy water and rinsed. The Drip Cup can be washed
in the top rack of the dishwasher or with hot soapy water and rinsed.
4. Do not use abrasive cleaning compounds or scouring pads on any
freshTECH parts. If any stubborn residue remains, a cloth, sponge
or rubber spatula will usually remove it.
5. Inside of the Lid, steam vents on inner surface of the Lid, and gasket
may be cleaned with a soft cloth and warm soapy water. Wipe or
air-dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners or sharp objects.
6. It is recommended after every use to check the steam vents on
the inside of the Appliance Lid for any potential clogging due to
hard water scaling or food particles. Always use the supplied vent
cleaning tool. Clean the vent by inserting the straight end of the tool
into the vent hole. The tool is designed to bottom out on the finger
hold so it cannot go in too far. With an in and out motion, push and
pull the vent tool in and out of the vent hole, lightly scraping the
sidewall of the vent. Be careful not to bend the vent tool steel while
cleaning, as this could lead to a jam. Refer to instruction booklet for
complete maintenance instructions.
CAUTION! Never immerse the Appliance base in water, in other liquids
or place in the dishwasher.
