Maintenance Tips

• Clean after every use: Wash with warm water and mild detergent to remove food acids, minerals, and residue from boiling water canning.
• Dry immediately: Prevent rust spots and preserve stainless/aluminum integrity, especially at wire joints and contact points.
• Check wire stability: Inspect for bending or fatigue after heavy loads (full jar batches can stress rack structure).
• Ensure flat positioning: Always place rack evenly at the bottom so jars stay elevated and heat circulates properly.
• Avoid abrasive scrubbing: No steel wool or harsh chemicals—protects coating and prevents premature wear.
• Load jars evenly: Distribute weight symmetrically to avoid warping or uneven pressure during boiling cycles.
• Store dry & flat: Keeps shape consistent and prevents moisture-related corrosion during storage.
• Use only in proper canner size: Designed specifically for 24-quart systems—incorrect sizing can cause instability.
