How To Use:

General:

  • Place the base on the countertop next to the sink with spigot positioned over the sink and within 30in. of a power outlet.
  • To properly assemble the pot to the detachable base, align the pot’s spigot with either U-shaped indent on the side of the detachable base. Then, slowly lower the pot onto the base. The spigot should sit in the U-shaped indent in the side of the base when assembled correctly.
  • Testing the spigot: Ensure the spigot is closed 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.
  • For canning: 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.
  • Place lid on pot and plug power cord into power outlet.
  • Pot does not attach to the base permanently.
  • Do not move pot when full of water.

Cooking Mode:

  • The EasyCanner(TM) will function in the same manner as traditional methods for steaming, cooking, boiling and blanching. Simply plug in the appliance and turn the dial to temperature based on the instructions and cooking time for your specific recipe.
  • After turning the dial to desired temperature setting, press NEXT to enter “Timer Setting Mode.”
  • To set the timer, use the “-” and “+” buttons to adjust the time, then press NEXT.
  • To proceed to Cooking Mode without setting a timer, press NEXT to bypass the timer.
  • In Cooking Mode, the maximum amount of time the unit will remain “ON” for all dial settings, except HIGH, is 8 hours. The maximum amount of time the unit will remain “ON” for the HIGH setting is 6 hours. If the unit is not manually turned off using the dial prior to the maximum “ON” times, it will automatically shut off after the respective time.

Auto-Canning Mode:

  • Inspect jars for any defects such as chips or cracks; inspect lids and bands for any defects. Wash jars, lids, and bands in warm soapy water and rinse.
  • Make sure spigot handle on outside of pot is in the closed position before filling with water. Note: the plug for the spigot inside the pot should be left unplugged to enable flow through spigot when draining water after the canning process is completed.
  • Follow the detailed instructions in the User Manual for "How To Use For Water Bath Canning"

Recommended Use:

  • The Ball® EasyCanner is safe for water bath canning recipes only.
  • High-acid recipes tested for water bath canning can be used. We recommend the recipes in the Ball® Blue Book Guide to Preserving and those posted on www.ballmasonjars.com. For raw pack water bath canning recipes that require starting from an initial temperature below 180 degrees F, please see instruction manual for further details.

Cleaning Your Appliance After Each Use:

  • Always turn the dial to the “off” position (counterclockwise) and unplug your EasyCanner(TM) from the power source once you have completed processing your foods. Allow the appliance to cool before cleaning.
  • Remove any water left in the pot using the spigot.
  • It is recommended that you do not expose a hot lid to cold water. Sudden temperature changes may cause damage to the lid.
  • Cleaning the pot: add water and soap to pot. Do not submerge. Clean interior pot sidewalls and bottom with a soft washcloth and use a straw cleaning brush to clean the spigot. Let the water drain into sink from spigot. Add clean water/no soap to the pot. Rinse and release into sink from spigot. Repeat as needed. Wipe external areas with a damp cloth and let air-dry.
  • The detachable base may be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners. Never submerge the detachable base in water, in other liquids or place in the dishwasher.
  • Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on any Ball®(R) parts. A cloth, sponge or rubber spatula will usually remove stubborn residue.
  • Ensure all appliance parts are thoroughly dry before storing in original box.
