Preserving food
Preserving food
Food can be preserved and bottled in special preserving jars. Only use undamaged jars with glass lids, suitable rubber seals and sealing clips that
sit correctly. Do not use jars with screw or bayonet tops as the pressure that builds up cannot be reduced.
Up to 5 jars with a maximum volume of 1 litre each may be placed inside the cooking space. Always use same-size jars.
▸ Put the Baking tray at level 1.
▸ Fill the jars evenly with the food to be preserved, which is at the ambient temperature, and add liquid (and any
sugar, salt or vinegar) as required.
▸ Close the jars according to the manufacturer's instructions.
▸ Place the jars on the Baking tray as shown in the illustration. The jars should not touch one another.
▸ Select the 150°C operating mode and start.
▸ Heat until bubbles start to rise quickly to the surface of the liquid in the jars.
–Preserving food that is at the ambient temperature takes about 60 to 90 minutes.
▸ Keep the appliance door closed during the preserving process.
▸ Set the cooking space temperature and operating mode to «0».
▸ Leave the jars standing in the cooking space for 40 minutes.
▸ Leave the appliance door open in the at-rest position.
▸ Leave the jars in the cooking space to cool down completely.
▸ Remove the jars. Check that the jars are sealed tight.
