H oven function.
Preserving jars

rubber ring and glass lid) for preserving.
• Screw-top jars, jars with a bayonet fastening and metal containers
are unsuitable.
Shelf positions

Notes on preserving
• Use the universal baking tray for preserving. There is room for up to 6
preserving jars each with a capacity of 1 litre on this tray.
• Stand a cup of water on the universal baking tray so that there is suf-
ficient moisture in the oven.
• Position the preserving jars on the universal baking tray so that they
do not come into contact with one another.
• The preserving jars should all be filled to the same level and closed.
