Operating Precautions
WARNING! To prevent personal injuries, please read and
follow all instructions correctly.
• Steam canners and boiling-water canners are not to be used for
canning low-acid foods, such as vegetables and meats. Low-acid
foods must be processed in a pressure canner.
• Be certain your range or cooktop is rated for home canning. Some
models of ranges or cooktops cannot be used for home canning,
-especially smooth top ranges– since they can be damaged. Check with
the manufacturer of your cooktop before using your canner. Victorio
Kitchen Products IS NOT responsible for damage of any kind to the
range or cooktop as a result of using this canner.
• Always use heat protective gloves or mitts when handling any part of
your canner.
• Any steam produced will be hot and can cause serious injury. Use
extreme caution while using your canner.
• When removing the lid from the canner, be sure to always tilt it away
from you to avoid steam burns.
• Never leave your canner unattended while it is in use.
• Check the water level in the water pot after every batch. DO NOT
LET THE BOTTOM POT BOIL DRY. This will cause serious damage
to your canner and may render it unusable. Your stove top could also
be damaged if this happens.
• Do not use by or near children.
