Troubleshooting
Jar seal does not appear airtight
Check the rubber gasket for debris or cracks and ensure it is properly seated in the groove before closing the clip.
Metal clip is difficult to lock
Ensure the rubber gasket is not twisted and that the jar is not overfilled, which can prevent the lever from snapping shut securely.
Difficulty removing the lid after storage
The vacuum seal is working correctly; gently pull the tab on the rubber gasket to release the pressure before attempting to lift the lid.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your jar for use, ensure the glass is sterilized before adding any food items. When using for canning, place the rubber seal on the glass rim, close the metal clip, and process according to your specific preservation recipe. To clean, remove the rubber gasket and wash the glass jar with warm, soapy water. While the glass is durable, it is recommended to wash by hand to avoid degrading the rubber seal. Always inspect the rim of the jar for any chips or cracks before each use to ensure the lid will seat properly for an airtight seal.
