FAQs
What is the exact capacity of this jar?
The jar has a capacity of 5000ml (5 liters).
Can I store liquids in this jar?
While the clamp lid provides an airtight seal, this jar is primarily designed for dry goods. Storing liquids is not recommended due to potential leakage if the seal is imperfect or the jar is tipped.

What are the dimensions of the jar?
The dimensions are approximately H 27.5 x D 17.5 cm.
How do I clean the rubber seal?
The rubber seal can be gently removed and washed with mild soap and warm water. Ensure it is completely dry before reattaching.
Can I replace the rubber seal if it gets worn?
Yes, replacement rubber seals are typically available from the manufacturer or specialized kitchenware retailers to maintain the airtight functionality.
Is this jar suitable for preserving jams or pickles?
This jar is best suited for dry goods. For preserving jams or pickles, specific canning jars with two-part lids designed for heat processing are recommended.
Troubleshooting
Lid is not sealing properly
Ensure the rubber gasket is clean, properly seated, and not damaged. Check that the clamp wire is securely attached and providing sufficient pressure.
Jar appears cloudy after washing
Mineral deposits from hard water can cause cloudiness. Run the dishwasher on a hot cycle with a rinse aid, or hand wash with a vinegar solution and rinse thoroughly.
Clamp is difficult to close
Ensure no food particles are obstructing the seal. Slightly adjust the position of the wire clamp or the gasket.
