Troubleshooting
Lid not sealing properly

Glass jar chipped or cracked
Discontinue use immediately. Cracked or chipped glass jars can be a safety hazard and may not seal properly. Dispose of the affected jar safely.
Difficulty screwing on the lid
Check for any obstructions or deformities on the jar's glass rim or the lid's threads. Ensure the lid is aligned correctly before attempting to screw it on.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before first use, it is essential to sterilize these glass jam jars. This can be done by washing them thoroughly with hot, soapy water and then placing them in a preheated oven at 140°C (120°C fan/Gas Mark 1) for at least 15 minutes, or by submerging them in boiling water for 10 minutes. Ensure the metal lids are also sterilized, though they should not be boiled. These jars are compatible with standard home canning and preserving methods. To clean, hand wash with warm, soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the glass. The lids should be hand-washed and dried thoroughly to prevent rust. While the glass is durable, it is susceptible to breakage if dropped.
