3. 操作
The Ball freshTECH appliance offers versatile cooking and canning options with a simple control dial.

The control dial on the power base allows you to select various heat settings, from 'Low' to 'High', and a dedicated 'Canning' setting for precise temperature control during water bath canning. A green indicator light illuminates when the unit is plugged in and ready.

- Place the canning rack at the bottom of the pot.
- Place filled jars onto the rack, ensuring they do not touch each other.
- Fill the canner with water to cover the jars by at least 1-2 inches.
- Place the tempered glass lid on the pot.
- Turn the control dial to the 'Canning' setting.
- Once the water reaches a rolling boil, begin your processing time according to your recipe.
- After processing, turn the dial to 'Off', carefully remove the lid, and use a jar lifter to transfer jars to a clean towel to cool and seal.

- For Multi-Cooking: Use the pot as you would any large stockpot. Fill with ingredients and water as needed for your recipe. Use the 'Low', 'Medium', or 'High' settings on the control dial.
- 蒸し用： Place the steaming/canning jar rack at the bottom of the pot. Add a small amount of water (below the rack level). Place food to be steamed on the rack. Cover with the lid and set the dial to 'High' until steam is produced.
