Troubleshooting

Ensure the rubber seal is correctly positioned on the jar rim and that the wire clip is fully engaged and providing sufficient tension. Check for any debris on the rim or seal.

Inspect the jar carefully for any damage. If damaged, discontinue use immediately to avoid breakage and potential injury. Replace the jar.
