4. Testing the spigot: Ensure the spigot is closed (see page 6) and fill with
approximately 2 inches of water (5 quarts). Slightly open the spigot, pressing down
on the handle, ensuring the water is safely draining into the sink and not onto the sink
flange or countertop. Close the spigot after testing.
5. Place canning rack into the pot with the flat surface facing up and feet resting on the
bottom of the pot. To prevent damage to the spigot, ensure the canning rack or jars
are not in contact with the spigot.
6. Place lid on pot.
7. Plug power cord into appliance first, then into power outlet.

HOW TO USE FOR WATER BATH CANNING
The Electric Water Bath Multi-Cooker makes water bath canning extremely
convenient. Process jams, jellies, pickles, salsas, tomatoes, and fruits (high-acid or acidified
foods) using your favorite recipes found in the Ball Blue Book
®
Guide to Preserving as
well as new and existing recipes at www.freshpreserving.com. The unique design of this
appliance allows you to process up to 7 quart jars, 8 pint jars or 12 half-pint jars at one time.
Following the assembly process, place the fully assembled Electric Water Bath Canner
+ Multi-Cooker on the countertop next to your sink. Fill the pot half-full with warm/hot
water using a pitcher or sink spray hose. Warm/hot water will decrease the amount of time
necessary to bring the water to a boil.
Helpful hint: add 1/4 cup of white vinegar to the water to help prevent hard water film
build-up.
PREHEATING JARS
The Electric Water Bath Multi-Cooker can be used to preheat jars prior to
canning. This will reduce the risk of jar breakage from thermal shock. Follow these
simple steps:
1. Wash jars in warm soapy water and rinse.
2. Place the canning rack onto the bottom of the pot then place the jars on the rack.
3. Add water to the jars and the pot until it reaches the top of the jars.
4. Cover the pot and turn the dial to the right (clockwise) to the MEDIUM-HIGH setting.
Bring the water to a simmer. Preheat jars for 10 minutes at a simmer. Remove jars one
at a time as they are needed for filling.
