Owner’s Manual
ADDITIONAL SAFEGUARDS
1. If you cook meat with skin, such as sausage, swelling can occur when
cooked under pressure. Piercing skin after cooking can lead to bursts of hot
liquid.
2. Do not lean over the pressure cooker at any time while cooking.
3. The Silicone Gasket creates a pressure seal between the Lid and Base.
Keep the Gasket completely clean and free of cracks or deterioration.
4. Fill the pressure cooker with liquid prior to use. Never cook without liquid.
5. Make sure all parts of the pressure regulator and ventilated pipe are clean.
6. Do not alter the safety mechanisms or attempt to repair pressure cooker as
this will void the warranty. Please adhere to the Maintenance Instructions
and other instructions contained in this manual.
7. Do not place near flammable materials, heating units, or wet environments.
8. Do not overfill the pressure cooker.
9. Clean the Food Blocking Cap and Pressure Release Valve regularly to
prevent clogging.
10. Do not attempt to open the Lid when the Floater Valve is raised.
11. Do not cover the Pressure Release Valve.
12. The bottom of the Inner Pot and heating plate should be kept clean.
Do not put the Inner Pot on other heat sources. Do not replace the
Inner Pot with other containers.
13. Use wood or plastic utensils to prevent damaging the Inner Pot’s
non-stick coating.
14. Do not move the pressure cooker while in use. Only after the pressure
cooker cools down completely should it be moved. Move the pressure
cooker by using the Base handles not the Lid handle.
15. Make sure pressure steam is fully released before attempting to open the
Lid.
16. It is normal for some smoke to escape the appliance during the first few
uses. If the pressure cooker continues emitting smoke, please contact
Customer Service.

Canning
Foods with lower acid content have a greater potential for spoilage and
contamination than high-acidity foods. Proper pressure canning minimizes
the chances of spoilage and contamination.
High-Acid Foods Low-Acid Foods
Apples Oranges Asparagus Mushrooms
Applesauce Peaches Beans Okra
Apricots Pears Beets Peas
Berries Pickled Beets Carrots Potatoes
Cherries Pineapples Corn Seafood
Cranberries Plums Hominy Spinach
Fruit Juices Rhubarb Meat Winter Squash
Never alter cooking times, temperatures, or ingredients when pressure canning.
Doing so can be extremely dangerous as there is no room for experimentation.
Following the exact cooking times, temperatures, and ingredients listed in the
recipe will ensure that your food is protected from harmful enzymes, bacteria,
and mold. Altering the cooking time may destroy the food’s nutrients and flavor.
Enzymes found in food may promote growth of yeast and mold, which in turn
causes food to spoil. These enzymes can be killed at temperatures 212°F and
higher. Other contaminants, such as salmonella, staphylococcus aureus, and
clostridium botulinum, can only be killed at temperatures of 240°F or higher.
These higher temperatures can only be achieved by pressure canning.
Before pressure canning in the NuWave Nutri-Pot Digital Pressure Cooker,
consult an instructional book written specifically for pressure canning. The
NuWave Nutri-Pot Digital Pressure Cooker can be used for basic pressure
canning, along with the water bath method. Both low- and high-acid fruits
and vegetables are recommended. MEAT AND SEAFOOD ARE NOT
RECOMMENDED TO BE PRESSURE CANNED.
PRESSURE CANNING

20 Owner’s Manual
PRESSURE CANNING (Continued)
Safe Canning Tips:
1. Do not use overripe fruit. Bad quality degrades with storage.
2. Do not add more low-acid ingredients (onions, celery, peppers, garlic, etc.)
than specified in the written recipe. This may lead to an unsafe end result.
3. Don’t use too many spices. Many spices tend to contain high levels of
bacteria, which may result in unsafe canned goods.
4. Do not add butter or fat to the recipe. Fats do not store well and may cause
premature spoilage. Never use thickeners such as flour, starch, pasta, rice
or barley.
5. Use only USDA-recommended tools and accessories.
6. Do add acid (lemon juice, vinegar, or citric acid), especially to tomato
products when directed in the recipe. If necessary, you can balance the tart
taste by adding sugar.
The NuWave Nutri-Pot® Digital Pressure Canning Process
Though your exact experience may vary depending on the specific recipe you
are following, most recipes can be prepared by following this guide.
1. Only follow recipes that have been tested for pressure canning. Prepare the
necessary ingredients as instructed in the recipe.
2. Fill clean, 16-ounce mason jars to
the level. Do not allow ingredients
to exceed the level. Always leave
no less than 1 inch of head space.
3. Gently remove any lingering air bubbles
by pressing a flexible, nonporous spatula
between the ingredients and the jar itself.
4. Place a clean lid onto each jar, then add
a screw band. Turn the lid clockwise and
tighten in place.
NOTE: Never retighten lids after pressurizing
the jars. As the jars cool, the contents will
contract, pulling the lid firmly against the jar
to form a high vacuum and create a seal.
If the screw bands are too loose, liquid may
escape from the jars during this process,
causing the seals to fail. If the screw bands
are too tight, air cannot vent during this process,
causing food to discolor while in storage. Tightening the lids too much may
also cause the lids to buckle and the jars to break. Screw bands are not
needed on stored jars.
Remove after jars have cooled. When removed, washed, dried and stored,
screw bands may be used many times. If left on stored jars, they become
difficult to remove, often rust, and may not work properly again.
